The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 is urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. To achieve this goal, one important measure is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by fossil fuel-based energy sources.

Low-carbon energy sources are those that have low or no greenhouse gas emissions when produced and used, such as renewable energy, nuclear energy, or energy efficiency.

Measuring greenhouse gas emissions from low-carbon energy sources is a way to check the effectiveness of greenhouse gas mitigation measures and assess the progress of countries in implementing their climate change commitments.

Some methods for measuring greenhouse gas emissions from low-carbon energy sources:

• Using calculation tools such as [GHG Protocol], [IPCC Guidelines], [Life Cycle Assessment];
• Using measurement devices such as [gas analyzers], [CO2 concentration meters], [temperature meters];
• Using data from reliable sources such as [IEA], [UNFCCC], [World Bank].
   

By applying these methods, managers and researchers can obtain accurate and complete information about greenhouse gas emissions from low-carbon energy sources and make sound decisions for climate change adaptation.

The measurement of greenhouse gas emissions from low-carbon energy sources can bring the following benefits:
 

• Help to identify major sources of emissions to focus on mitigation.
• Help to assess the effectiveness of mitigation measures, making adjustments as needed.
• Help to support investment decisions in low-carbon energy sources.

Văn Lang University is committed to measuring greenhouse gas emissions from low-carbon energy sources to assess and control the environmental impacts of energy activities, as well as develop solutions for sustainable development and climate change mitigation.
