| Description | Carbon management systems aim to reduce atmospheric warming and climate effects by controlling warming agent flows to the atmosphere. Atmospheric warming is primarily driven by its greenhouse gas concentrations. Therefore, greenhouse gases are a primary focus of carbon management efforts. The main greenhouse gases (GHGs) of interest are carbon dioxide $(CO_{2}$), methane $(CH_{4}$), and nitrous oxide $(N_{2}$O), the halogenated hydrocarbon gases not covered by the Montreal Protocols (often termed the F-gases—fluorinated hydrocarbons), nitrogen tri-fluoride and sulfur hexa-fluoride. Reduction strategies are informed by estimation and measurement of greenhouse gas quantities emitted from and taken up by a wide range of processes and economic activities occurring at Earth's surface. Reliable quantitative information is critical to assessing the performance of reduction/mitigation efforts. Greenhouse gas inventory reports are widely-accepted sources used as mitigation policy performance metrics to assess efforts often focused on energy production and usage or efficiency and on land use. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Task Force on National Inventories of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, TFI) have established requirements and guidelines to provide a uniform and robust inventory reporting framework for quantifying greenhouse gas emissions (IPCC-TFI, 2006).
