    GHG Inventories: A Practical Guide


    With Support from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, SEI has created a free step-by-step "practical" guide to conducting a greenhouse gas inventory. This guide focuses on the practical issues and strategies for setting up and implementing a greenhouse gas inventory program.

    About the Guide

    Developing a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions inventory is the first step to implementing sustainability into municipal planning and policy-making, and is the basis from which to develop a Climate Action Plan. This new guide provides local governments with general information on conducting a GHG emissions inventory; it is intended to compliment already existing technical guides and resources. The guide outlines a management process along with noting effective strategies for inventory preparation, launch, and implementation. 

    This guide was designed to serve as a starting place for jurisdictions who want to develop an inventory program and are not sure what is involved. The guide provides information on each step of an inventory including comments on estimated staffing needs and time commitments. The guide can also be used as a resource for working with interns who are hired to conduct an inventory and need an understanding of how such an inventory can be completed in a local government setting. This guide should be used alongside technical resources such as ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability’s Clean Air and Climate Protection Software, and in no way is intended as a substitute for the technical resources required to complete an inventory. 

    Sections of the guide include

    I. Getting Started

    II. Taking Action

    Program Implementation
