Organizations increasingly are identifying greenhouse gas emissions as significant environmental aspects of their operations and activities. Emissions may be direct, such as with the use of SF6 in manufacturing operations, or indirect, such as with the use of energy resources derived from fossil fuel sources. The increasing focus on control and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from anthropogenic sources has stimulated the development of a management system standard -- ISO 14064 -- that provides a common template for quantification, reporting, and verification of greenhouse gas emissions data. The authors survey the US and international legal and regulatory environment pertaining to greenhouse gas emissions, and describe how ISO 14064 can help organizations develop and report data for internal management purposes or for US or international emissions reporting or trading.
