GHG Protocol Releases Standard on Land-Sector Emissions and Renewals
February 9, 2026
The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol has released a standard on land-sector emissions and renewals. Specifically, the
standard establishes the GHG Protocol’s “first global standard for companies to account
for greenhouse gas emissions and CO₂ removals from agricultural land use and emerging
CO₂ removal technologies (e.g. direct air capture or fossil carbon capture with geologic
storage).”
