Course Description

The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Accounting course provides a practical understanding of how organizations measure, manage, and report their greenhouse gas emissions. The course covers the GHG Protocol, Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions, Global Warming Potential (GWP), activity data, primary and secondary data sources, emission factors, and BRSR alignment. Learners will understand how operational and value-chain activities are converted into measurable GHG emissions and how reliable data supports credible emissions inventories and disclosures.

Course Outcomes

• Explain the purpose and fundamentals of GHG accounting.
• Understand the GHG Protocol and its role in measuring and reporting corporate GHG emissions.
• Differentiate between Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.
• Identify upstream and downstream Scope 3 emission categories across the value chain.
• Understand Global Warming Potential (GWP) and how different greenhouse gases are converted into CO₂e.
• Identify different types of activity data required for GHG accounting.
• Distinguish between primary and secondary data and identify reliable sources for each.
• Understand the role of emission factors in converting activity data into GHG emissions.
• Understand how GHG data supports BRSR disclosures, including Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 reporting.
• Apply good practices for maintaining accurate, consistent, traceable, and audit-ready GHG data over time.
