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

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?
