ISO 14064 Verification of Greenhouse Gases
ISO 14064 Standard for the approval and verification of greenhouse gas declarations was published in March 2006 to assist organizations in the design and development of greenhouse gas inventories. The standard was developed by 145 experts from 45 countries.
Reducing carbon emissions plays a major role in the fight against climate change. Governments take compelling decisions to reduce carbon emissions and organizations implement these reduction efforts voluntarily or compulsorily.
At this point, calculating and verifying carbon emissions is the first step in mitigation efforts.
ISO 14064 helps organizations assess the Clean Development Mechanism and carbon credits of existing projects or projects they are developing.
Purpose of ISO 14064 Standard
- Improving environmental confidence in GHG quantification.
- Increased consistency, transparency and credibility in monitoring, reporting and verification of GHGs.
- Support the design, development and implementation of coherent GHG-related programs.
- Organizations identify their GHG-related responsibilities, assets and risks.
- Facilitating Greenhouse Gas trade.
Benefits
- Ensuring compliance with legislation
- A start for carbon emission studies
- Providing a basis for decision-making mechanisms
- Providing data for internal and external communication
- Participation in carbon investment indices
- Improvement of the organization's reputation
