ISO 14064 is an offset protocol. It is an independent,
voluntary GHG project accounting standard, and is deliberately policy neutral. The
ISO 14064 standard consists of three parts. The first part (14064-1) specifies requirements
for designing and developing organisation or entity-level GHG inventories. The second
part (14064-2) details requirements for quantifying, monitoring and reporting emission
reductions and removal enhancements from GHG projects. The third part (14064-3)
provides requirements and guidance for the conducting of GHG information validation
and verification.
Unlike the GHG Project Protocol, which has specific guidelines on what tools and
accounting methods to use, ISO 14064 gives guidance on what to do but doesnot spell
out the exact requirements. The requirements are usually spelled out only in general
terms. For example, ISO points out that additionality needs to be taken into account
but does not require a specific tool or additionality test to be used. These would
be defined by the GHG programme or regulation under which ISO 14064 is used. ISO
14064 does not focus on co-benefits. |
