Definition
The GPC Methodology Reference is a summary overview of the Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Inventories (GPC) calculation methodoly as documented in [1].
NB: this table is not exhaustive. Cities may use alternative methodologies, activity data and emission factors as appropriate. Methods used to calculate emissions shall be justified and disclosed.
The methodology reference covers the following elements:
- (Emissions) Sectors classifying GHG Emissions Sources according a GHG Emissions Taxonomy
- GHG Emissions Sources Subsector per Sector
- Applicable GHG Emission Scope
- Applicable GHG Emissions Calculation Approaches
- Relevant Activity Data
- Relevant GHG Emission Factor
Reference
| 1. Sector | 2. Subsector | 3. Scope | 4. Approach | 5. Activity Data | 6. Emission Factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stationary Energy | Fuel Combustion within the city boundary | 1 | Fuel Consumption | Amount of Fuel Consumption | Mass GHG Emissions per unit of fuel |
