The service

What it is.

A greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory is the systematic quantification of every emission and removal in an organization. It classifies sources into Scope 1 (combustion, industrial processes, fugitive emissions), Scope 2 (purchased electricity, steam and heat) and Scope 3 (upstream and downstream value chain).

Mangue Tech runs the full inventory following the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and, where needed, ISO 14064-1. Every activity data point is traceable, every emission factor is referenced (IPCC, DEFRA, MCTI) and every calculation has an audit trail on the platform.

The inventory is the starting point for SBTi targets, CDP reporting, SBCE compliance, GRI reports and IFRS S2. Without a consistent inventory, no climate strategy holds up.

Delivery

How we deliver.

Step 01

We connect ERPs and spreadsheets to the Mangue platform, map every emission source and validate the applicable emission factors (IPCC, DEFRA, MCTI).

Step 02

We calculate scopes 1, 2 and 3 with a full audit trail. Every activity data point traceable back to its source.

Step 03

We deliver the inventory formatted to the GHG Protocol, ready for third-party verification and for submission to Brazil's Public Emissions Registry.

Comparison

GHG inventory and SBCE obligations

Law 15,042/2024 created the SBCE, Brazil's regulated carbon market. Obligations depend on the annual emissions of each installation or source, and the starting point is always the greenhouse gas inventory.

Up to 10,000 tCO₂e/year

What the SBCE requires

No direct SBCE obligation. Customers, banks and investors usually ask for the inventory anyway.

What Mangue Tech delivers

A voluntary GHG Inventory in GHG Protocol format, ready for when the company grows or a customer asks.

Above 10,000 tCO₂e/year

What the SBCE requires

Regulated operator: monitoring plan and annual reporting of emissions and removals to the SBCE managing body.

What Mangue Tech delivers

A GHG Inventory with a trail per source, traceable factors and calculation records ready for the monitoring plan and the report.

Above 25,000 tCO₂e/year

What the SBCE requires

On top of monitoring and reporting, periodic reconciliation: surrendering allowances (CBE) or certificates (CRVE) equal to emissions.

What Mangue Tech delivers

An inventory with a trail for independent verification, emissions projections and reduction scenarios to size the cost of allowances.

Timelines

What the SBCE requires

Thresholds, deadlines and monitoring rules depend on the law's implementing regulations, still under way.

What Mangue Tech delivers

We follow the regulations and adapt the inventory to the monitoring rules as soon as they are published.

Anyone above 10,000 tCO₂e a year needs a consistent GHG inventory before anything else.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions.

What is the difference between Scope 1, 2 and 3?

Scope 1 is the direct emissions from the operation: combustion, industrial processes and fugitive emissions. Scope 2 comes from purchased energy (electricity, steam, heat). Scope 3 covers the value chain, meaning suppliers before your gate and product use and disposal after it. A GHG Inventory, covering greenhouse gases, quantifies all three.

Does Mangue Tech certify or audit the inventory?

No. Mangue Tech prepares and structures the inventory, with every data point traceable and an audit trail on the platform, and delivers it in GHG Protocol format, ready for independent verification. The opinion is issued by an external verification body, such as Bureau Veritas, SGS, DNV or TÜV, hired separately.

How long does a GHG Inventory take?

It depends on the boundary. What weighs in is how many emission sources need mapping, whether the activity data comes out of an ERP or is scattered across spreadsheets, and whether Scope 3, the value chain, is part of the inventory. Validating the applicable emission factors also sets the pace.

Do I need an inventory if reporting is voluntary?

In Brazil, sustainability reporting is voluntary: CVM Resolution 244 revoked the mandate and a comply-or-explain regime applies, under which companies that do not publish must justify it. The GHG Inventory remains a requirement of the SBCE, Brazil's emissions trading system, and the starting point for climate targets.

I already have my emissions in a spreadsheet. What changes?

The trail changes. Mangue Tech connects ERPs and spreadsheets to the platform, maps every source and validates each emission factor against reference databases (IPCC, DEFRA, MCTI), with more than 60,000 factors available. Every activity data point stays traceable back to its source and the result comes out in GHG Protocol format.

What is a greenhouse gas inventory?

It is the yearly survey of all of an organization's greenhouse gas emissions and removals, expressed in tCO₂e and split into Scopes 1, 2 and 3. The most widely used standard is the GHG Protocol; ISO 14064-1 is the equivalent standard. The GHG Inventory is the starting point for reduction targets, ESG reports and offsetting.

Is a GHG Inventory mandatory in Brazil?

For companies covered by the SBCE, yes. Law 15,042/2024 requires those emitting more than 10,000 tCO₂e a year to monitor and report their emissions, and those above 25,000 tCO₂e to also meet emission caps, once the law's regulations are in place. For other companies the inventory is voluntary, but customers, banks and investors often ask for it.
