Calculation of greenhouse gases directly or indirectly emitted in each link in social and production activities by enterprise is called carbon inventory, which can also be called compiling an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon inventory can help enterprises understand their own carbon emission sources, standardize their carbon emission data management, identify their carbon emission risks and opportunities, and make preparations for energy saving and carbon reduction, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.

International standards and basis
ISO 14064: This standard is used to determine greenhouse gas emission limits, quantify the organization's greenhouse gas emissions, and determine the requirements of specific measures or activities of companies to improve greenhouse gas management.
GHG protocol (Greenhouse gas inventory protocol): Protocol on Greenhouse Gas Inventory jointly issued by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the World Resources Institute (WRI). Greenhouse gas reporting guidelines specific to companies or projects.
IPCC Technical Report and Methodological Guidance: At present, it is an important basis for countries in the world to carry out greenhouse gas emission accounting.

Service scope
1) Scope I: Direct greenhouse gas emissions
Refers to greenhouse gas emissions from sources owned or controlled by an organization, such as combustion of fossil fuels in boilers, combustion of petrol and diesel in vehicles, leakage of fire extinguishers, emissions from manufacturing processes, etc.
2) Scope II: Energy indirect greenhouse gas emissions
Refer to greenhouse gas emissions from purchased electricity, steam, cold or heat that do not occur directly within the organizational boundary but should be quantified.
3) Scope III: Other indirect greenhouse gas emissions
That is, indirect greenhouse gas emissions generated within the boundary of an organization except indirect greenhouse gas emissions from other energy sources, and their emission sources are not owned or controlled by the organization. For example, greenhouse gas emissions caused by upstream raw material manufacturing and travel, and emissions caused by outsourced transportation, commuting and other activities.
Enterprises can choose the scope of inventory by themselves, and there are generally two kinds:
