By Craig Hanson and Janet Ranganathan
This installment of WRI’s Corporate Guide to Green Power Markets introduces corporate greenhouse gas emissions inventories as a fundamental first step to enabling green power to meet corporate energy and climate goals. It will outline the business case for GHG emissions inventories and articulate how they can serve as a management tool for valuing the climate change benefits of green power. This installment will explore the issue of who should account for GHG emissions reductions from corporate procurement of green power. Finally, it will suggest policy recommendations that maximize the ability of inventories to provide a foundation for rewarding corporate use of renewable energy.
