Greenhouse Gas Registries

Measure, Manage And Showcase Your Carbon Management Results

Science has shown that greenhouse gases (GHG) are a major contributor to climate change. CSA Standards’ GHG registries are vital tools in your quest to reduce your carbon footprint, achieve carbon neutrality and be recognized as an environmental leader.

A GHG registry is a public roster of organizations that have made a commitment to manage, measure, and report their GHG emissions inventory or project-based reductions and removals.

CSA Standards' GHG registries:

• Provide consistent and reliable data that is based on established standards
• Are a way for organizations to showcase and be recognized for their environmental leadership
• Are a valuable source of information for GHG reduction planning
• Support voluntary or mandatory GHG reporting requirements.

CSA Standards’ GHG CleanStart™ Registry is a simple, easy way to manage and reduce your organization's carbon footprint.

Manage your emission reduction projects with CSA Standards’ GHG CleanProjects™ Registry

Once your organization has quantified its carbon footprint, it can begin identifying opportunities to implement GHG emission reduction and removal projects. CSA Standards GHG CleanProjects™ Registry is an online portal for publicly reporting and showcasing GHG emission reduction and removal projects based on the ISO 14064-2 and ISO 14064-3 standards. Information displayed in CleanProjects can also be useful for organizational risk management, participation in voluntary initiatives or and regulatory reporting/compliance.

With the GHG CleanProjects™ Registry, your organization can:

• Report and showcase project-based GHG emission reductions or removals in a public location accessible world-wide.
