Waikato region greenhouse gas emissions inventory 2021-2022

This is the third inventory report for Waikato region’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventory.

The inventory was compiled following the Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories (GPC)2, which applies a mixed approach (production and partial consumption-based emissions) within inventory development. GPC is considered best practice for community-based inventories.

Individual emissions inventories have also been prepared for each of 10 territorial authorities in the Waikato region: Hamilton City, Waikato, Hauraki, Thames Coromandel, Waitomo, Matamata Piako, Ōtorohanga, Waipā, South Waikato and Taupō. The inventory period was from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022.
