GHG Protocol
About GHG Protocol
The GHG Protocol is the de-facto standard-setting organisation for greenhouse-gas accounting. As well as producing guidance on estimating and categorising emissions, it also provides a set of the most commonly-used emission factors including energy consumption, transportation, waste management, and industrial processes.

| Methodology description | The dataset provides 100-year time horizon global warming potential (GWP) values of greenhouse gases from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The AR6 values are the most recent, but the Fourth Assessment Report (2007) values are also provided because they are sometimes used for inventory and reporting purposes. Greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol and included within the scope of a GHG Protocol inventory are labelled as "fugitive release". Greenhouse gases not covered by the Kyoto Protocol and therefore reported outside the scopes of a GHG Protocol inventory are labelled as "fugitive release non-Kyoto". |

Ministry of Ecology and Environment & National Bureau of Statistics
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China (MEE) and the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS) are government authorities responsible for environmental policy and official national statistics, respectively. Together, they publish official electricity emission and carbon footprint factors for China to support greenhouse gas emissions accounting and carbon footprint assessment.
