• A GHG emissions inventory is an accounting of the
  estimated amount of GHG emitted to the atmosphere
  over a specific period of time (e.g., one year).
  A GHG inventory also provides information on the
  activities that cause emissions, as well as
  background on the methods used to make the
  calculations.
