As electricity demand rises and many companies and organizations commit to using more clean energy, robust emissions-accounting rules could help determine the pace of decarbonization. This conference will explore best practices for measuring the clean-energy content or carbon dioxide emissions linked to a particular unit of electricity consumption.

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol has governed the existing greenhouse gas emissions accounting standards since 1998, but many stakeholders have suggested possible improvements. The conference will bring together a wide array of stakeholders to discuss different approaches to carbon-emissions accounting and their potential to make clean-energy-procurement policies and corporate commitments more effective, in the U.S. and internationally.
