MAIN CONTENTS OF ISO 14064-1:2018 STANDARD

PRINCIPLES FOR QUANTIFICATION AND REPORTING OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND REMOVALS: 

including principles such as authenticity, completeness, consistency, transparency and accuracy, to ensure that the quantified and reported greenhouse gas information is authentic, reliable, comprehensive, accurate and comparable.

ESTABLISHMENT OF REPORTING BOUNDARY: 

The organization needs to establish and record the reporting boundary including direct and indirect emissions, covering all relevant greenhouse gas sources, sinks and storage reservoirs. At the same time, direct greenhouse gas emissions and removals need to be quantified, the scope of indirect emissions needs to be determined and documented, and materiality criteria need to be defined to identify significant indirect emissions and quantify the report.

IDENTIFICATION OF GREENHOUSE GAS SOURCES AND SINKS: 

Identify and record all relevant greenhouse gas sources and sinks, including direct and indirect emissions, as well as sinks that contribute to greenhouse gas removals. Insignificant parts can be excluded according to the materiality criteria, but the reasons need to be explained.

SELECTION OF QUANTIFICATION METHOD: 

The organization should select a quantification method that can minimize uncertainty, and factors such as technical feasibility and cost need to be considered. Quantification methods include measurement or modeling. The selected method should produce accurate, consistent and reproducible results, and the assumptions, limitations and their impact on uncertainty of the quantitative model should be recorded.

DATA MANAGEMENT: 

Identify and record the data of each source or sink, including primary and secondary data, and determine the data characteristics. The organization should establish a data quality monitoring procedure to ensure the accuracy, reliability and consistency of the data.

CALCULATION OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND REMOVALS: 

Calculate greenhouse gas emissions and removals according to the selected quantification method, clearly report the calculation period of greenhouse gas emissions and removals, and use appropriate global warming potential values to convert greenhouse gases into tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. For special cases such as emissions or removals from biomass sources, emissions and removals from imported and exported electricity, and agricultural emissions or removals, quantification should be carried out in accordance with the corresponding requirements in the standard.

BASE YEAR GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORY: 

The organization needs to establish a base year for comparison or to meet project requirements, etc. The base year data can be the average of a specific period or several years. If historical information is lacking, the first greenhouse gas inventory period can be used as the base year. At the same time, a review and recalculation procedure needs to be developed to ensure that the cumulative changes in base year emissions can be explained.

MITIGATION ACTIONS: 

Organizations can plan to implement emission reduction initiatives, quantify the difference in emissions or removals after the implementation of the initiatives, and record the relevant content of the initiatives, such as the initiatives themselves, spatiotemporal boundaries, quantification methods, difference attributes, etc.

GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORY QUALITY MANAGEMENT: 

Including the management of greenhouse gas information, description of monitoring procedures, etc. to ensure the quality of greenhouse gas inventories.

REPORT CONTENT REQUIREMENTS: 

Clarifies the description of greenhouse gas inventories, reporting organization information, the period described, organizational boundary records, etc. that should be included in greenhouse gas reports, as well as recommended information such as greenhouse gas policies and emission reduction initiatives. At the same time, it stipulates requirements for report planning, structure, format, availability and dissemination methods.

Implementation of SETsafe | SETfuse

When implementing ISO 14064-1:2018, SETsafe | SETfuse carried out the following work:

ESTABLISHING A GREENHOUSE GAS QUANTIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: 

In accordance with the requirements of ISO 14064-1, a comprehensive greenhouse gas quantification and management procedure was established, covering all aspects of SETsafe | SETfuse, including direct emissions, energy indirect emissions and other indirect emissions, to ensure the comprehensive identification and quantification of greenhouse gas emission sources.

DATA COLLECTION AND MAINTENANCE: 

Actively collect and maintain various data related to greenhouse gas emissions, such as production activity data, energy consumption data, etc. In the data management process, we pay attention to the accuracy, reliability and consistency of the data, establish a data quality monitoring procedure, and conduct regular review and verification of the data to ensure that the data quality meets the standard requirements.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION INVENTORY: 

Through professional inventory processes and methods, SETsafe | SETfuse's greenhouse gas emissions are carefully checked. In the inventory process, all aspects of SETsafe | SETfuse's operation process are fully considered, including raw material procurement, production and manufacturing, transportation and distribution, sales, and use and scrapping stages, to ensure comprehensive and accurate quantification of greenhouse gas emissions.

SCOPE EXPANSION AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS: 

On the basis of completing the inventory of greenhouse gas emissions within the standard scope, other possible sources of greenhouse gas emissions and influencing factors were also discussed and analyzed, such as employee travel and commuting. At the same time, based on the inventory results and the actual situation of SETsafe | SETfuse, targeted continuous improvement suggestions for greenhouse gas emissions were put forward, including optimizing the energy structure, improving energy efficiency, and adopting low-carbon technologies, so as to further reduce SETsafe | SETfuse's greenhouse gas emissions and achieve sustainable development.
