What is a Greenhouse Gas Inventory?
A greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory is an accounting of the quantity of GHGs emitted to or removed from the atmosphere over a specific period of time (e.g., one year). A GHG inventory also provides information on the activities that cause emissions and removals, as well as background on the methods used to make the calculations. For more information on GHG emissions, see EPA’s Climate Change Web site. The Climate Leaders GHG Inventory Guidance is available on the Climate Leaders Web site.
