Reporting Tools

The Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program has developed spreadsheet-based tools to assist reporters in calculating their emissions and emission reductions.

Note: As tools become available their status will change from (Under Development) to (Available).

• Simplified Emissions Inventory Tool (SEIT)
• Emission Inventory Tools
• Emission Reduction Tools

Simplified Emissions Inventory Tool (SEIT)

The Simplified Emissions Inventory Tool (SEIT) is intended to help you prepare a preliminary estimate of your entity's emissions. (Note: This is version 2.0 of SEIT posted October 2009. It supersedes the draft version 1.0 of SEIT that was released in July 2006). You may use SEIT to:

• provide a preliminary estimate of your emissions;
• determine whether your entity is a small or large emitter; and
• identify de minimis emissions sources, which can be excluded from your entity’s emissions inventory.

Emission Inventory Tools

Inventory calculation tools are designed to help you fill out Schedules I and II of Form EIA-1605 by calculating your emissions and carbon sequestration resulting from your entity’s operations, including fuel consumption, electricity use, industrial processes, forestry, and agriculture.
