ISO 14064 - Greenhouse Gas Accounting and Verification

ISO 14064 is an independent, voluntary GHG project accounting standard, and is deliberately policy-neutral. 
It provides industry and government with a set of tools to develop programs aimed at reducing GHG emissions. It will also assist your organization to operate within emissions trading schemes.

The ISO 14064 standard consists of three parts. The first part (14064-1) specifies requirements for designing and developing organisation or entity-level GHG inventories. The second part (14064-2) details requirements for quantifying, monitoring and reporting emission reductions and removal enhancements from GHG projects. The third part (14064-3) provides requirements and guidance for the conducting of GHG information validation and verification.

The ISO 14064 standard (initially published in 2006 and updated in 2018) is part of the ISO 14000 series of International Standards for environmental management. The ISO 14064 standard provides governments, businesses, regions, and other organizations with a complementary set of tools for programs to quantify, monitor, report, and verify greenhouse gas emissions. The ISO 14064 standard supports organizations to participate in both regulated and voluntary programs such as emissions trading schemes and public reporting using a globally recognized standard.
