Geographic GHG Boundary
Definition
Geographic GHG Boundary is a geographic specification that identifies the spatial dimension or physical perimeter of a GHG Inventory Boundary. [1]This concept makes sense for entities that have a defined geographical dimension (e.g., cities and other local organizational units). . Any geographic boundary may be used for the GHG inventory. Entities must maintain the same boundary for consistent inventory comparison over time. Depending on the purpose of the inventory, the boundary can align, e.g., with the administrative boundary of a local government, a ward or borough within a city, a combination of administrative divisions, a metropolitan area, or another geographically identifiable entity.
The boundary shall be chosen independently of the location of any buildings or facilities under municipal—or other government—control, such as power generation facilities or landfill sites outside of the city’s geographic boundary.
