GHG Inventory Development

KERAMIDA offers expert Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory development services to help organizations quantify and manage their carbon footprint across operations and the value chain. Our inventories are fully aligned with the GHG Protocol, providing a robust foundation for climate strategy, sustainability reporting, and regulatory compliance. KERAMIDA has decades of experience developing emissions inventories for companies across every sector.

Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG Emissions Coverage

We quantify Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (purchased energy), and Scope 3 (value chain) emissions using the best available organizational data and acceptable methodologies as defined by the GHG Protocol. Whether you have detailed primary data, utility bills, fuel usage records, procurement spend, or supplier-provided estimates, our team can work with what is available to create a complete and transparent accounting of your emissions inventory.

GHG Protocol-Aligned & Assurance-Ready Reporting

KERAMIDA develops inventories that follow the GHG Protocol and applicable sector-specific guidance. Our outputs are structured for internal use, third-party assurance, and public disclosure, including SBTi and CDP.

California SB 253 Reporting Support

KERAMIDA supports large public and private companies in meeting the requirements of California Senate Bill 253 (SB 253) by developing comprehensive GHG inventories suitable for public disclosure. Our team ensures data quality, documentation, and Scope 3 readiness in alignment with the GHG Protocol and SB 253 guidance.

Why Partner with KERAMIDA?

    • Specialized Expertise: Our team is trained in GHG accounting frameworks such as the GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, and CDP. We have a deep understanding of emission factors, calculation methodologies, and boundary setting.

    • Credible Results: KERAMIDA’s involvement as a third-party adds legitimacy, which can help with assurance, investor scrutiny, or regulatory compliance.

    • Avoids reinventing the wheel: Developing an inventory internally can take months if the team is inexperienced.

    • Focus on core business: Your staff can stay focused on primary responsibilities while KERAMIDA handles the heavy lifting.

    • Identify hotspots: We don’t just deliver raw numbers. Our team can highlight which activities or supply-chain tiers drive emissions.

    • Supports reduction strategies: KERAMIDA can link your inventory to decarbonization opportunities.

    • Cost savings: A good inventory doesn’t just measure emissions, it shows inefficiencies (like excess energy use or transport costs) that translate to dollars saved.

    • Keeps pace with regulations: Our professionals stay current with evolving disclosure rules (e.g., EU CSRD, California climate disclosure laws).

    • Reduces compliance risk: Properly scoped inventories lower the chance of penalties, legal issues, or reputational harm from inaccurate reporting.

    • Reusable systems: KERAMIDA can set up processes, templates, and data pipelines for ongoing internal management.

    • Scalability: A robust baseline inventory makes it easier to expand into Scope 3 emissions or set science-based targets later.
