GHG Inventory Measurement and Verification for Climate Disclosure Mandates

12 p.m. CT  |  Wednesday, July 8, 2026  | Register Here

Governments around the world are enacting climate-related disclosure laws, whichrequire companies to annually report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from their operations. California’sClimate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253) is an example of a law where new disclosure requirements present unprecedented challenges for teams within companies responsible for sustainability and legal compliance.

cThese mandates may target large reporting entities, but its impact reaches far beyond them. Suppliers across the value chain — including mid-market companies part of larger supply chains — are already being asked to provide GHG inventories and, in some cases, third-party verification.

This webinar explores how companies not directly subject to climate disclosure requirements can prepare for increasing Scope 3 data requests from customers, investors, and partners. EcoEngineers’ carbon experts give tips and examples for how to build, improve, and validate emissions inventories to stay competitive in evolving supply chains.
 
What you’ll learn:
  • How SB 253 and other U.S. state and international mandates drive upstream and downstream scope emissions reporting expectations
  • Where your organization fits within the supply chain “tiers” and why it matters
  • How GHG inventory work connects to product-level LCA and broader reporting strategies
  • Pathways to build, refine, or verify a GHG inventory
  • Real-world scenarios, from first-time inventories to verification readiness
  • The difference between verification and assurance

Carbon Counts: Reducing Dairy Emissions Beyond RNG

 

RNG gets most of the attention in dairy decarbonization, but it’s not the only option. In this episode  of Carbon Counts,  EcoEngineers’ experts Dave Lindenmuth and David LaGreca sit down with dairy sustainability veteran David Darr to explore how voluntary carbon markets, insetting strategies, grants, and supply chain collaboration are helping dairy farms and food companies reduce emissions beyond RNG.

The conversation cuts through Scope 3 confusion, unpacking how companies are navigating insets vs. offsets, defining supply sheds, and balancing credible accounting with real world project economics. What you’ll learn:

  • How dairy farms are participating in voluntary carbon markets and insets beyond RNG
  • The difference between Scope 3 reductions, insets, and offsets—and why it matters
  • Why supply shed boundaries and traceability shape credible carbon claims
  • How co-claiming and collaboration can lower the cost of carbon
  • Where grants and catalytic capital are unlocking dairy methane reduction projects

Carbon Counts is an informational series exploring how guidance from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, state and local jurisdictions, and evolving consumer expectations are redefining transparency in emissions accounting.

Biomethane under ETS1 and ETS2: From Zero Emissions to Carbon Removal Potential

 

The role of the European Union (EU) Emissions Trading System (ETS) is currently at the center of a heated debate, particularly amid high energy prices and concerns about Europe’s competitiveness. As policymakers and industry seek solutions, there is growing recognition that the response to the energy crisis must include accelerating the development of domestic renewable alternatives and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. In this context, biomethane stands out as a scalable, local energy source that can contribute simultaneously to decarbonization, energy security, and system flexibility.

In this webinar, we focus on the current role of biomethane under ETS1 and ETS2, focusing on how biomethane can be used as a practical tool to reduce exposure to carbon costs while supporting decarbonization goals. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how to correctly structure biomethane transactions to ensure compliance and avoid invalid claims.

We also look ahead to the ongoing discussion on ETS reform and the potential evolution of the system toward recognizing carbon removals. While biomethane is currently treated as zero-emission at combustion, it can also deliver methane abatement and, in some pathways, even carbon-negative outcomes. The session explores how these benefits could be recognized through a controlled integration of certified removals, aligned with the EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF).

What You’ll Learn

  • How biomethane is currently treated under ETS1 and ETS2
  • How ETS2 expands the role of biomethane across new market segments
  • What is required to correctly claim a zero-emission factor by avoiding key risks associated with environmental attributes, mass balancing, and regulatory fragmentation
  • Why current ETS rules may undervalue biomethane’s full climate impact
  • How carbon removals could be integrated into ETS in the future

Carbon Counts: BECCS, Ethanol, and the North American Opportunity

 

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is quickly moving from theory to deployment — particularly in the U.S. ethanol sector. As projects come online and carbon removal markets mature, stakeholders across the value chain are asking the same questions: What does BECCS really mean in practice? How are early projects structured? And how do we tell a credible, market‑ready BECCS story?

In this Carbon Counts session,  EcoEngineers carbon expert David LaGreca breaks down BECCS through real-world examples in the form of guest speakers from two leading ethanol-based carbon removal projects owned Frontier and Gevo. The panel explores how different capture and storage approaches work, what makes these projects viable today, and what they signal for the future of carbon removal markets.

The conversation moves beyond project headlines to demystify the broader BECCS supply chain from feedstock and facility operations to transport, storage, monitoring, and market participation. The panel tackles one of the biggest challenges facing BECCS today: clearly and credibly communicating its role in North America’s carbon removal landscape.

This webinar covers:

  • What BECCS is and how it differs from other carbon capture and removal pathways
  • How Frontier’s and Gevo’s projects are structured and what sets them apart
  • How to tell the BECCS story in a policy‑, market‑, and stakeholder‑credible way
  • Who participates in the BECCS supply chain and why each role matters
  • What’s next for BECCS and ethanol-based carbon removal in regulated and voluntary markets

Whether you’re navigating project development, market participation, or strategy, this session provides a grounded look at where BECCS stands today—and where it’s headed next.

Evaluating RNG Assets: Where Traditional Energy Diligence Falls Short

 

As renewable natural gas (RNG) assets enter a recapitalization cycle, investors are learning that RNG due diligence is fundamentally different from traditional energy infrastructure reviews.

In this educational webinar, EcoEngineers experts walk through the unique diligence considerations that influence RNG project performance and value. Attendees will learn how to evaluate RNG assets through a risk‑focused, investor‑ready lens, including:

  • Why RNG assets require a different diligence approach than traditional power or energy infrastructure
  • The most common hidden risks in RNG acquisitions—and why projects that look strong on paper can underperform
  • How upstream feedstock reliability (dairy, landfill, organic waste, wastewater) affects long‑term asset viability
  • How environmental credit markets such as the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (CA-LCFS) shape RNG revenues and project economics
  • Key contractual agreements to review during diligence, including feedstock, offtake, pipeline, and marketing contracts
  • How misaligned contract terms and termination provisions can create material downside risk
  • Why compliance systems, data integrity, and third‑party verification are central to preserving asset value
  • Practical diligence red flags investors should identify before committing capital
