Guiding Principles ►R►R►R►Relevance ~ Include emission sources under government’s control ►C►C►C►Completeness ~ All emissions within a government’s operational boundary ►C►C►C►Consistency ~ Identifying boundaries, analysis of data, and quantification are all consistent year-over-year ►T►T►T►Transparency ~ Must have a well-documented audit trail ►A►A►A►Accuracy ~ Integrity of the information is vital

Major Greenhouse Gases ►C►C►C►Carbon Dioxide ►M►M►M►Methane ►N►N►N►Nitrous Oxide ►H►H►H►Hydroflourocarbons ►P►P►P►Perflourocarbons ►S►S►S►Sulfur hexaflouride
6
Base Year ► Kyoto Protocol suggests 1990 ► Key factors in the decision ~ Reliable documentation Records availability
7
Organizational Boundary ► Operational Control Highly recommended for local governments Highly recommended for local governments ► Financial Control
8
Government Sectors Buildings and other facilities Vehicle Fleet Streetlighting and Traffic Signals Water & Wastewater Treatment, Collection & Distribution Waste Port Facilities Airport Facilities
9
Operational Boundaries ► Scope 1 ~ Direct emissions Stationary combustion Mobile combustion ► Scope 2 ~ Indirect emissions Electricity purchases ► Scope 3 ~ Indirect emissions Employee commute, outsourced activities (especially those normally performed by a local government)
10
Quantifying Emissions ► Calculation-Based Methodology Activity Data X Emissions Factor = Emissions ► Measurement-Based Methodology Usually CEMS (continuous emissions measurement systems)

“On May 8, 2007, Governor Crist executed the multi-state compact… “…establish a set of common protocols and support a common reporting system. The Climate Registry will ensure consistency and transparency between climate programs implemented by states and tribes as well as establish a high level of environmental integrity in emissions accounting, reporting, and verification.” http://myfloridaclimate.com/climate_registry
