Here at the Institute a good amount of our external communications are dedicated to describing just why GHGMI is an important and necessary institution. The talking points are likely familiar to anyone who has previously read this blog, seen Institute staff speak at a conference, or been cornered by any of us at a cocktail [...]

We now have ample evidence to come to firm conclusions about the much-discussed controversy and manufactured scandals surrounding climate change science. Instead of recreating the wheel, I am simply going to repost a summary on the topic here from the Pew Center on Global Climate Change and also provide a link to a similar factual [...]

The Institute recently developed two topical “issue briefs” covering key GHG program design and implementation topics. The two papers outline best practice program design recommendations drawing from GHGMI’s extensive institutional knowledge, including focused experience designing and deploying quality assurance, training, and complementary and synergistic elements of climate change programs. Green Jobs Training: Promoting Accountability in Carbon [...]

The second annual GHGMI-Sequence Staffing Greenhouse Gas/Climate Change Workforce Needs Assessment Survey will close this month. If you have not already completed a response we invite you to take part in this industry-defining needs assessment by filling out the online survey at www.greenhousegassurvey.com. As a quality assurance measure, the survey is by invitation only for leading [...]

Sometimes it feels quite lonely here at GHG Management Institute headquarters. Toiling away trying to do what we think is needed to support the future of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation policy. While most people who pay attention to the issue are obsessed with the politics of the moment, we work away behind the scenes thinking [...]

The first regional workshop on GHG inventories and accounting took place at the 5th Asian Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) hosted by ADB and USAID on June 21, 2010 in ADB’s headquarters in Manila. GHGMI’s Gao Pronove presented at the workshop and shared GHGMI’s experience as the leading training provider for GHG accounting, verification, and management. [...]

In this third blog post on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and Global Warning Potential (GWP) values, I want to focus on a unique characteristic of methane (CH4). I would venture to guess that many of you are unaware that most GHG emission inventories and offset project methodologies underestimate actual emissions from fugitive emissions of methane. This [...]

This question is not as silly as it may seem, and is so fundamental to GHG management that many practitioners are probably afraid to seek clarification out of fear of looking bad. Since not everyone in the field has studied atmospheric chemistry (I admit I have, but wouldn’t expect the range of folks working on [...]
