GHG Projection Guidelines Part A: General Guidance

Compiling a greenhouse gas emission projection is a step-by-step process. This section provides guidance on these steps for the projection compiler, i.e., the person, persons or institutions who put together or develop the projection from materials gathered from several sources. Compilation includes the collection of projected activity data (in most cases outputs from projection models), estimation of emissions and removals, checking and verification, uncertainty assessment, sensitivity analysis and reporting. Before undertaking estimates of projected emissions and removals from specific categories in specific years, a projection compiler should become familiar with the material in this document.
