ISO 14064-2

ISO 14064-2: Specification with guidance at the project level for quantification, monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emission reductions or removal enhancements.

ISO 14064-2 is a specification with guidance at the project level for quantification, monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emission reductions or removal enhancements, thus contributing to climate change mitigation strategies. It provides guidance for the process of GHGs data validation and verification of GHGs projects.

The interested parties for ISO 14064-2 primarily include organizations and businesses involved in quantifying, monitoring, and reporting greenhouse gas emissions. This standard is particularly relevant for industries subject to environmental regulations and those participating in voluntary emission reduction or trading schemes and offsetting. It also interests organizations and companies, environmental consultants, auditors, and regulatory bodies overseeing compliance with environmental standards and sustainability goals.

This Standard provides a background and requirements for greenhouse gas GHG Projects. GHG Projects are addressed either because they reduce emissions (e.g. installation of alternative energy systems) and/or enhance emission removals. The requirements of ISO 14064-2:2019, include both principles and requirements for the determinization of project’s baseline, monitoring, quantifying and reporting project performance. In addition validation and verification requirements are addressed. As it is an ISO Standard, it may be linked to other volunteer standards such as GHG protocol for projects or other EU Kyoto mechanisms like the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
