Corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting is a complex and inexact undertaking. Electric companies and combined electric and natural gas utilities typically rely on guidance provided in protocols developed by non-profit organizations to account and report their corporate GHG emissions voluntarily and as required by federal and state regulations. This report explores the current landscape of GHG emissions reporting guidance, standards, and requirements, including a discussion of commonly used voluntary standards and key requirements of mandatory reporting frameworks.
