The Climate Registry Working To Define Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reporting Protocols

The Climate Action Reserve is an umbrella organization which oversees the California Climate Action Registry, which is also known as the California Climate Registry. The Registry is now a program under the auspices of the Reserve, committed to helping solve climate change problems through enhanced reporting requirements.

The California Climate Registry had just over 20 members when it was originally formed, but this number increased to more than 300. Now, chief executives and officials of major corporations, government agencies, universities, counties and cities are actively involved in these environmental issues. All these organizations oversee, measure and report the greenhouse gas activities on a voluntary basis. Collectively, they are working towards a solution to our climate change problem.

The state of California recognizes the pro-active participation of the members of the California Climate Registry, as they strive to verify and publicly report their greenhouse gas emission levels. The state will consider this involvement when future state, federal or global GHG regulations are implemented.

A group of forward thinking CEOs lobbied the state government in California on the subject of greenhouse gas emissions. Their foresight prompted a bill which was ultimately signed into law by Gov. Gray Davis on October 13, 2001. The California Climate Registry was formed.

As climate change goals beyond state borders, the California Climate Registry ceded its duties to the Climate Registry. The California organization will continue to report emissions as a program under the auspices of the Climate Action Reserve.


The California Climate Registry is an integral program under the umbrella of the Climate Action Reserve. The Reserve's stated goal is to work to ensure environmental benefits, integrity and progressive movement in greenhouse gas emissions, reductions and policies.

Members of the California Action Registry are actively involved in discovering and introducing market-based solutions for the greenhouse gas problem. The members are also involved in constructing relevant regulations in this ongoing initiative.

Organizations involved in greenhouse gas production face increasingly onerous reporting requirements. Regulations are forcing such companies to consider their reporting methods. Many companies are now turning to software applications and programs which will help them gather and report the relevant data more effectively.

Software provided by Verisae tracks carbon dioxide (CO2) gas emissions according to The Climate Registry protocols across all sites so companies can manage their carbon emissions and work towards reducing their carbon footprint.

I am Daniel Stouffer. I am a part-time writer, passionate Solar Energy Consultant, and a full-time Product Manager for Refrigerant Tracker, a solution to help manage, track, report refrigerant gases.

Educated in English and Mathematics, I dabble in writing pieces of this or that on the Internet while I work my day job building demand side energy management, carbon footprint reporting, and refrigerant gas tracking software.

I work for Verisae, Inc. I'm deeply involved in carbon management and renewable energy. My quest is to bring solar energy to U.S. Residential homeowners and to better manage the substances that harm our environment.

I'm also a small business owner working to promote the adoption of renewable energy. Solargies (Solar Energies), my goal is to spread the use of renewable solar power as simply and as rapidly as possible. He is also a writer, investing his time and energies educating people about renewable energy, the exciting world of interactive marketing, and other oddities of interest. (www.Solargies.com)

My personal mission statement: To gather data, to distill information, to build knowledge, and to attain wisdom. To learn, to work hard, and to be internally motivated when acquiring skills. "Every person that you meet knows something you do not - learn from them."

Verisae's Refrigerant Tracker and the Enterprise Carbon Footprint (ECF) products allows companies to take inventory of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and refrigerant gas emissions. CO2 gas, Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS), and refrigerant gas emissions are tracked and better manage. Organizations can have a direct effect on the environment through better data management and taking accurate inventories of all greenhouse gases (GHGs) that contribute to their Carbon Footprint.

In my position, I work collaboratively with client teams to understand their goals, document the solution, and mange User Centered Design projects. I'm driven to implement solutions that deliver measurable business value and enhanced user experience.

As a Product Manager for Refrigerant Tracker, I help design how to make the right content available to the right people at the right time. My role involves the design of interactive systems that help users find and manage information or functionality more successfully. (www.refrigerant-tracker.com)
