Welcome to the GRIP (Greenhouse Gas Regional Inventory Protocol homepage. On this site you will         

find: Information about the initiative; the results of the projects completed so far; view the original scenario  

tool; access the inventory tool so that you can compile your own Greenhouse gas emissions inventory for your   

region; and lastly get in contact with us to find out more.

The project has been in existence for several years, in its infancy much work was undertaken to understand the various   

methods and approaches used by others to form inventories, this included a comprehensive understanding of the IPCC's     

inventory methodology for submission to the UNFCCC. The reporting standard for national inventory approaches. It was  

this understanding that led to the GRIP inventory methodology.  

The GRIP Scenario Tool was devised to bring together discussions on energy futures. It enables coherent discussions   

across the energy system, so that (for example) debates on transport can take place in combination with those on   

electricity generation and domestic heating. With views and visions being quantified in real time in a clear and effective    

way.   

We hope you find this a useful resource, and we hope to develop this site further should more funding be secured. We   

welcome all comments on the initiative and its approach. The scenario tool, and the inventory methodology can be adapted   

for use at all scales - we therefore welcome future collaborations.  

Regards

Dr Sebastian Carney
