Members report annual GHG emissions data to the California Registry using the Climate Action Registry Reporting On-Line Tool (CARROT) . The California Registry developed this web-based software to calculate members’ GHG emissions data.

 

CARROT uses built-in emission factors and conversion factors to automate calculation of GHG inventories and improve consistency and comparability. Users input annual energy usage data (i.e. kWh of electricity, or MMBtu of natural gas) and CARROT calculates the associated GHG emissions. Web access allows for simultaneous usage by any number of users across states, countries and time zones.

 

CARROT also allows the public to view entity-level emissions data for organizations that report to the California Registry. Once a member’s annual emissions report is verified, public users can utilize CARROT to see a company’s GHG emissions broken down by emission category (indirect, direct mobile, direct stationary, direct process and direct fugitive emissions) and by gas.
