This note sets out a harmonized approach for assessing the mitigation benefits, or net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, of renewable energy (RE) projects in accordance with the International Financial Institution (IFI) Framework for a Harmonized Approach to Greenhouse Gas Accounting.1 A Technical Working Group (TWG) of IFIs has agreed to use a common set of emission factors for GHG accounting of electricity production from Renewable Energy (RE) projects. The purpose is to harmonize GHG accounting through the application of common emission factors to RE GHG calculations. Further iterations of this approach note will include the treatment of off-grid RE activities.
