GHG Inventories and Emissions Analysis

Water sector GHG accounting involves complex methodological choices. Organizations need to determine which protocols apply, when direct measurement is appropriate, and how to build defensible inventories that hold up over time.

Capabilities

• Develop Scopes 1, 2, and 3 inventories using the water sector specific methods we helped create through the Water Research Foundation.
• Determine when direct measurement, monitoring, or modeling is appropriate for methane, nitrous oxide, and other process emissions.
• Design data systems with clear procedures and quality controls that produce consistent, auditable results.
• Train internal teams to maintain and strengthen inventories without ongoing consultant dependence.
• Conduct verification, gap analysis, and readiness reviews to prepare organizations for third party assurance.
