Solar panels emissions calculation

Dear Fatima Khalilova,

Thank you very much for your important question! For past projects, we compiled the following information:

• The International Financial Institutions Technical Working Group On Greenhouse Gas Accounting developed a harmonized approach for the assessment of mitigation benefits or net GHG emissions of renewable energy project in accordance with the IFI Framework for a Harmonized Approach to Greenhouse Gas Accounting):

• Mehedi, Gemechu & Kumar (2022) Life cycle greenhouse gas emissions and energy footprints of solar energy systems *Life cycle greenhouse gas emissions and energy footprints of utility-scale solar energy systems (sciencedirectassets.com)
• Bosmans et al 2021 Greenhouse gas footprints of utility-scale photovoltaic facilities at the global scale Greenhouse gas footprints of utility-scale photovoltaic facilities at the global scale (iop.org)

Feel free to reach out in case there is anything specific we can help with!
