AbstractAbout the AuthorsReferences
The article is devoted to the development of a comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting system designed for broad practical application across organizations of various profiles. The relevance of the study is due to the current need to improve the efficiency of climate monitoring under conditions of strengthened carbon regulation. To ensure the methodological soundness of the proposed system, the issue of the national methodology’s insufficient coverage of certain categories of direct GHG emission sources was addressed, that allowed for the generation of objective emission estimates and the formation of reliable and transparent climate reporting. The system is implemented based on one of the most widely adopted and functionally rich spreadsheet processing tools used in climate and production accounting practices. Special attention in the work is given to the results visualization module in the form of an analytical dashboard, which contains, along with classical infographic elements, an interactive map displaying the spatial distribution of emission sources and indicating their intensity. The inclusion of a geoinformation component not only enhances the clarity of data presentation but also enables in-depth spatiotemporal analysis of emissions, which opens up additional opportunities for data interpretation. The developed system aims to improve the efficiency of climate monitoring, optimize reporting procedures, and support informed decision-making in the field of sustainable development.
