CarbonGHG inventory · Qatar and the GCC
Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, measured properly
We build greenhouse gas inventories under the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1, with GCC-specific factors and an audit trail behind every tonne.
What it is
The short version
A greenhouse gas inventory measures the emissions your business causes. Scope 1 covers direct emissions from fuel, flaring, process and refrigerant losses. Scope 2 covers purchased electricity, heat, steam and cooling. Scope 3 covers the value chain, from purchased goods to the use of sold products.
The method is set by the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and its Scope 2 and Scope 3 guidance. ISO 14064-1 provides a parallel standard often used where verification is required.
An inventory is the foundation of nearly every other climate task: reporting, targets, CBAM, financed emissions and decarbonisation planning. If the base is wrong, everything built on it is wrong.
Who needs it in the GCC
Who we work with
- Industrial companies needing a baseline for targets, CBAM or customer requests.
- Real estate owners and developers with large district cooling and electricity loads.
- Borrowers whose banks now report financed emissions under QCB rules.
- Suppliers responding to customer Scope 3 requests.
Why now
Climate disclosures under IFRS S2, which QCB has built into its framework for banks and insurers from 2026, require Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Banks will push that requirement to their clients.
EU importers under CBAM need embedded emissions data from producers. In both cases, the request arrives with a deadline. A measured inventory is the only reliable answer.
What we deliver
Concrete outputs, not slides
Every engagement ends with files your team owns and can reuse next year.
- Organisational and operational boundary definition
- Scope 1 and 2 inventory with documented emission factors
- Scope 3 screening across all 15 categories, then calculation of material categories
- Inventory management plan: data owners, frequency, controls
- Calculation workbook with full audit trail
- Summary report ready for disclosure or verification
How we work
Four steps
- 01
Set boundaries
Choose the consolidation approach, list facilities and agree the base year.
- 02
Collect data
Fuel, power, cooling, process and procurement data, with evidence for each line.
- 03
Calculate
Apply appropriate emission factors, document choices, and test results against operational logic.
- 04
Systemise
Hand over the workbook and a management plan so next year is routine, not a project.

FAQ
Common questions
What is the difference between Scope 1, 2 and 3?
Scope 1 is direct emissions you control. Scope 2 is from energy you buy. Scope 3 is everything else in your value chain. For most companies Scope 3 is the largest.
Which standard should we use?
The GHG Protocol is the global default and is referenced by ISSB. ISO 14064-1 is useful if you plan third-party verification to that standard. The data is largely the same.
How do we count district cooling?
Purchased cooling is a Scope 2 source. The factor depends on the provider and the plant. We ask the provider for data and document any assumption.
Do we need all 15 Scope 3 categories?
You should screen all 15 and explain exclusions. Then calculate the categories that are material. For most industrials, purchased goods and use of sold products dominate.
Can the inventory be verified?
Yes. We build it to be verifiable. We do not verify our own work.
