Production and Consumption based accounting

Understanding the Difference Between Production-Based and Consumption-Based Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions When measuring and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, two primary accounting approaches are often used: production -based accounting and consumption- based accounting. Both methods provide valuable insights, but they focus on different aspects of emissions and can lead to different conclusions about a country's or region's contribution to global emissions. Let’s explore the key differences between these two approaches and understand how they relate to each other. 1. Production-Based Accounting Production-based accounting (also known as territorial or supply-side accounting) measures the total GHG emissions produced within a specific geographic area, such as a country or city. This approach accounts for all emissions generated from the production of goods and services within the boundaries of that region, regardless of where these goods and services are ult...

  Question based on Chapter 01 Question #1:   Questions asked by  LinkedIn community  member Ashvini Mei Xi What is BECCS? Answer: Let me explain. For the sake of simplifying, let us break the word into 3 parts: BECCS = B (bio) + E (energy) + CCS (carbon capture & storage) Let me consider each of the sub-part and explain them: 1) "B" (bio) means natural (Biological system) sinks like Trees which absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the same in them/sequestrate. 2) These biological systems (trees) can be later burnt to derive "E" (energy) in form of heat. However, when they are burnt they release carbon dioxide that was earlier stored in them. In other words, carbon dioxide is released from the trees when they are burnt. 3) In order to avoid the released carbon dioxide (emissions) going back to the atmosphere, we capture them using "CCS". This way, we remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, stored them in trees (biological systems) ,...
