This greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory spreadsheet template was created for eThekwini Municipality, but can be used by other municipalities wishing to create their own GHG inventories. The inventory is based on ICLEI’s International Local Government GHG Emissions Analysis Protocol V1.0 and Local Government Operations Protocol for the Quantification and Reporting of GHG Inventories V1.1.

A component of the eThekwini Greenhouse Gas Inventory work was the development of a customised Excel-based Inventory Reporting System to facilitate the future compilation of the inventory. This document is a guide on the use of this spreadsheet. (WSP Environment and Energy for eThekwini Municipality, 2011)
