Update: 2025-10-30
Description
**Summary:**The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) is facing a significant challenge as it opens public comment on a new method for tracking carbon emissions, particularly in big tech data centers. This development is crucial for companies like Google and Microsoft, who advocate for an hourly accounting system to meet clean energy goals and report progress. The debate between hourly and annual emission cuts methods has intensified, with companies like Google and Microsoft pushing for the former and others like Amazon and Meta preferring the latter. The process has been criticized for lack of fairness, with some companies feeling underrepresented. The GHGP's future is also uncertain due to funding issues and potential government regulations.
