INTRODUCTION

Background
This section may include the following information;

 Special Order/Policy that serves as a basis of the submission of the GHG report;
 Involvement in entity-level GHG inventory like trainings, seminars, and
workshops that was attended, participated, or conducted; and
 A brief on the reports that they have successfully submitted

Rationale
This section could discuss the relevance of the submission of inventory reports in relation
to the function/mission and vision of the office. Justification and elaboration of the
importance of conducting the GHG inventory report may be included in this section.

Objectives
Specify the purposes of the inventory report and areas/issues/goals that it specifically
aims to address or achieve. An example may be seen and be adopted from the previous
inventory reports, to wit;

Example:

The purpose of the inventory report is to describe the GHG emissions associated with
each office’s operations. Moreover, the inventory report aims to achieve the following
specific goals;

− To detail the boundary conditions, quantification methods, and other key

information considered and used in the development of the GHG emission
inventory;

− To identify the sources of GHG emissions within each entity’s jurisdiction;

− To quantify the amount of GHG emissions from identified activity-sources;

− To track and analyze GHG emission trend over time; and

− To determine appropriate projects and activities to reduce GHG emission of the

entity

 METHODOLOGY

Boundary Conditions
Base year (rolling base, 2016)

The base year for the inventory is 2016 which was selected based on readily available
data and development in the reporting template and procedures.

Approach

For the compilation of the GHG emissions inventory, control approach was selected to
determine its boundaries. The approach was deemed appropriate as EMB offices has
direct control on all of its buildings and facilities.

Organizational Boundary (Graphical presentation suggested)

The organizational boundary defines the operations, facilities, and sources to be included
in the inventory. This section should show the following details;

 Key buildings;
 Main facilities; and
 Any exclusions with justification

Tabular or graphical representation is encouraged for this section.

Operational Boundary

Operational boundary categorizes emissions resulting from facilities and activities of the
defined boundary. The section shows the following information;

 Brief description of direct and indirect emission in relation to the operation of the
office;
 Classification of emission as direct or indirect;
 Group emissions according to scope; and
 Greenhouse gases that are accounted in the report

Tabular or graphical representation is encourages for this section.

Data Collection and Data Quality Assurance

Collection of information from various offices is vital in the creation of the inventory
report. Activity data are obtained from key offices (usually under the administrative and
finance division) regularly since the inventory is intended to be completed in a regular
basis. In addition, each office should attempt to improve data collection and secure data
quality to establish a reliable inventory report.

This section is expected to describe the procedures that were practiced in collecting
activity data and ensuring its quality and completeness. The following information should
be reflected on this part of the report such as;

 Source of emission and its corresponding activity data;

 Global Warming Potential used;
 Offices/Personnel in which the activity data was obtained from; and
 Self-assessment of the data quality (and remarks if necessary)

Data Processing and Emission Calculation (SAR)

This section describes the procedures on estimating GHG emission from activity data and
emission factors. Bases for computation was also states on this section.

Example

PAGE 8
Data processing involves calculating emissions from the facilities and activities of the
EMB Office in accordance with the GHG Inventory and Management Protocol, and the
2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Inventories. The collected activity data are translated
into emissions with the use of appropriate emission factors that were determined for each
categories.

Computation is discussed in detail in the succeeding chapters.

Scope and Limitation

This section could contain the following information;

 Estimates are based on adopted emission factors and activity data;

 Possible error due to estimates or assumptions that were made;
 Bases of computation such as the adopted Global Warming Potential, protocol,
and computation; and
 Other uncertainties

Example

The report describes the emission of EMB Central Office and the buildings and
facilities that were described and detailed in its boundaries for the calendar year 2015.
The GHG emission is estimated in accordance to the principle that accepted emission
factors are used to activity data that were categorized according to scopes. Procedures
were adopted from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Inventories and GHG
Inventory and Management Protocol. In addition, values of the emission factor for
fuel combustion and purchased electricity are taken on from the Department of
Energy, while for air business travel the country default emission factor was used.
The report is also in agreement with IPCC’s 2nd Annual Report for the global
warming potential of accounted greenhouse gases.

Uncertainties on the quantification of emission is detailed in the succeeding chapter.
