Environmental Economics
The increased importance and availability of digital tool leaves an impact on shaping the digitalization of countries and their economies. Links between the digitalization and economic sector productivity and climate change risk adaptation and/or mitigation increase trough different streams have also been found. The use of digital tools can also help in decision making process in terms of climate change including the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The aim of this study is to develop a base framework for a GHG emission calculation tool in the sector of agriculture. The tool framework is based on three different standards: IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories in the sector of Agriculture, Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting Standard and Statistical classification of economic activities in European Union (also known as NACE code classification system). The developed framework will simplify the GHG calculation tool use for agriculture companies, as the needed input data will be required based on the company NACE code. Additionally, the tool will segregate the calculated GHG emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for easier reporting of GHG emissions, for example, to financial institutions or regulatory bodies.
