International Workshop on
GHG Protocol Based Programs
Accounting & Quantification
CII – Godrej GBC, Hyderabad
CII’s Experience with GHG Protocol
 India GHG Program
• Corporate GHG Accounting & Reporting standard
 GHG Emission Inventorization in Indian
industry
• Facilitating Inventorization in several sectors
 Cement,
Power, Engineering, Chemical industries
 24 Facilities, 35 Million T of GHG inventorized
• Capacity building programs

Methodologies
 GHG Protocol methodologies adopted
• No issues faced / foreseen
 Several other Indian companies
• GHG emission Inventorization through internal
efforts
• Methodologies understood clearly
 Overall approach & action clearly defined

Emission Factors
 Major area of concern
• Non-availability of country specific data
 Coal
 Logistics –
Surface, rail, aviation & shipping
• Largely dependent on IPCC / other international
emission factors
 Requires
significant effort in adopting right factors
• Wherever CII established emission factors
 Large variation
from IPCC values ~ 4-10%

Emission Factors
 Not much efforts happening at Country level
too
• Requires concerted efforts of several
stakeholders
• Time, effort & resources strain
 Major deterrent in scaling up GHG emission
Inventorization activities in India
 Need of the hour – to develop country
specific emission factors

Organizational Boundary
 Operational Control – widely adopted
• Several reasons
 General
management structure - Operational control
 Most easily understood & adopted
 General practice
• Start with facility level Inventorization
• Scale up to corporate level

GHG Protocol Tools
 Excel based tools
• Require deep understanding before use
 Not very user
friendly
• Wherever CII has facilitated Inventorization
 Tool not
adopted ipso facto
 Need to develop user-friendly software tools
• Cross sector & sector specific

Scope 3 emissions
 India GHG program insists on Scope 3
reporting too
 Several discussions / deliberations while
accounting
• Present accounting largely based on individuals
interpretation
 Significant opportunity to standardize broad
based approach
© Confederation of Indian Industry
To sum up
 GHG Protocol being widely adopted in India
 Actions needed
• Need to develop country specific emission factors
• Develop user-friendly GHG Protocol tools
 Cross sector &
sector specific
• Standardization of Scope 3 emissions
 Raw
material & finished good Logistics – where to stop?
