Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting supports consistent, technically grounded approaches for measuring and reporting energy-sector emissions. This work evaluates corporate inventory methods, the use of offsets, carbon-market considerations, and low-carbon electricity procurement so companies can make accounting and procurement decisions that are credible and decision-useful. EPRI research also examines the role GHG emissions offsets can play in an electric company’s carbon compliance strategy and how offsets can contribute to global emissions reduction targets quickly and at comparatively low cost.
