GHG Protocol Public Consultations Now Open: Scope 2 and Electricity Sector Consequential Accounting

Public consultation is a critical component of GHG Protocol’s Standard Development and Revision Procedure, providing an opportunity for all stakeholders to contribute feedback on key topics related to GHG Protocol standards and guidance.   For a 60-day period between October 20 and December 19 2025, the GHG Protocol will be holding two public consultations: 1) Scope 2 Public Consultation; and 2) Electricity-Sector Consequential Methods Public Consultation.

All relevant materials for both public consultations are available on the GHG Protocol Public Consultations landing page.

The first focuses on proposed updates to the Scope 2 Guidance (2015), to keep scope 2 corporate inventory accounting updated consistent with its purpose. The second seeks feedback on consequential accounting methods for estimating avoided emissions from electricity-sector actions, which will inform ongoing work of the Actions and Market Instruments (AMI) Technical Working Group.

For more information about the difference between inventory and consequential accounting (also known as project accounting) please see tge GHG Protocol’s explainer here: Inventory and Project Accounting: A Comparative Review | GHG Protocol
