CII’s Experience with GHG Protocol

India GHG Program• Corporate GHG Accounting & Reporting standard

GHG Emission Inventorization in Indian industry• Facilitating Inventorization in several sectors

Cement, Power, Engineering, Chemical industries 24 Facilities, 35 Million T of GHG inventorized

• Capacity building programs

Methodologies

GHG Protocol methodologies adopted • No issues faced / foreseen

Several other Indian companies • GHG emission Inventorization through internal

efforts• Methodologies understood clearly

Overall approach & action clearly defined

Emission Factors

Major area of concern• Non-availability of country specific data

Coal Logistics – Surface, rail, aviation & shipping

• Largely dependent on IPCC / other international emission factors

Requires significant effort in adopting right factors

• Wherever CII established emission factors Large variation from IPCC values ~ 4-10%

Emission Factors

Not much efforts happening at Country level too• Requires concerted efforts of several

stakeholders• Time, effort & resources strain

Major deterrent in scaling up GHG emission Inventorization activities in India

Need of the hour – to develop country specific emission factors

Organizational Boundary

Operational Control – widely adopted• Several reasons

General management structure - Operational control Most easily understood & adopted

General practice• Start with facility level Inventorization• Scale up to corporate level

GHG Protocol Tools

Excel based tools• Require deep understanding before use

Not very user friendly

• Wherever CII has facilitated Inventorization Tool not adopted ipso facto

Need to develop user-friendly software tools• Cross sector & sector specific

Scope 3 emissions

India GHG program insists on Scope 3 reporting too

Several discussions / deliberations while accounting• Present accounting largely based on individuals

interpretation Significant opportunity to standardize broad

based approach

© Confederation of Indian Industry

To sum up

GHG Protocol being widely adopted in India Actions needed• Need to develop country specific emission factors• Develop user-friendly GHG Protocol tools

Cross sector & sector specific

• Standardization of Scope 3 emissions Raw material & finished good Logistics – where to stop?
