ISO 14064-2: GHG Reductions at Project Level
ISO 14064-2 plays a pivotal role in providing organizations and project developers with a structured approach to assess, manage, and report on GHG emissions reductions or removal enhancements achieved through specific projects.
In particular, it specifies principles and requirements and provides guidance at the project level for the quantification, monitoring and reporting of activities intended to cause GHG emission reductions or removal enhancements.
Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard contributes to the credibility and transparency of GHG project reporting by ensuring accuracy, consistency, and compliance with international standards.
Key aspects
- Planning GHG Projects: The standard outlines requirements and best practices for the planning and initiation of GHG projects, including setting clear objectives and defining project boundaries.
- Identifying GHG SSRs: ISO 14064-2 guides organizations in identifying and selecting GHG sources, sinks, and reservoirs relevant to the project and establishing a baseline scenario for comparison.
- Monitoring and Quantifying GHG Performance: The standard specifies methodologies for monitoring, quantifying, and documenting GHG project performance, ensuring that emissions reductions or removal enhancements are accurately assessed.
- Reporting GHG Project Results: ISO 14064-2 provides guidance on documenting and reporting the results of GHG projects, including emissions reductions, removal enhancements, and associated information.
- Data Quality Management: The standard emphasizes the importance of managing data quality throughout the project lifecycle to maintain the integrity of GHG emissions data.
Applicability
The verification is applicable to a wide range organizations and project developers regardless of their size, sector or location, especially for:
- Companies and project developers seeking to undertake GHG reduction or removal projects as part of their sustainability and climate action efforts.
- Organizations involved in carbon offset projects or initiatives aimed at reducing their carbon footprint.
- Entities required to report GHG project data accurately, transparently, and in compliance with international standards.
