"The goal of this project is to provide software that guides an inventory compiler through the process of estimating emissions and removals related to agricultural and forestry activities.
Countries with the goal of mitigating emissions from agriculture and forestry need a reasonably accurate understanding of current emission trends and the influence of land use and management alternatives on future emissions. Our inventory software program is intended to support this need.
The program has been developed through GHG inventory capacity-building projects for countries in Central America and Southeast Asia, which were funded by US Environmental Protection Agency, US Agency for International Development and US Forest Service. Developers at Colorado State University have designed the software to make the inventory process easier to implement and consistent with guidelines provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
