ISO 14064:2018 - Greenhouse Gas Management Systems

The world is growing and environmental impact is also increasing. It is necessary to measure and manage carbon emissions of the organization. ISO 14064 is an international standard that provides organizations with a framework to quantify, monitor, report and verify their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This standard is used by organizations to measure and report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It becomes easier to track progress, stay accountable and take action against climate change.

Structure of ISO 14064

ISO 14064 is divided into three parts, each addressing different aspects of GHG management:

1. ISO 14064-1: Specification with Guidance at the Organization Level

Purpose: This part focuses on the principles and requirements for designing, developing, managing, and reporting organization-level GHG inventories.

Key Elements

Establishing the organizational boundaries

Identifying GHG sources and sinks

Quantifying GHG emissions and removals

Setting GHG inventory quality management systems

Reporting GHG inventory results

2. ISO 14064-2: Specification with Guidance at the Project Level

Purpose: This part provides guidelines for projects specifically aimed at reducing GHG emissions or enhancing GHG removals.

Key Elements

Defining project boundaries

Quantifying GHG emission reductions or removal enhancements

Establishing baselines and determining additionality

Monitoring and reporting project performance

3. ISO 14064-3: Specification with Guidance for the Validation and Verification of Greenhouse Gas Assertions

Purpose: This part sets out the process for validating and verifying GHG assertions to ensure the accuracy, consistency, transparency, and credibility of GHG data and reports.
