Carbon auditing is the means of accounting for quantifiable greenhouse gas emissions.  Once emissions are known, strategies can be devised to reduce these.  Auditing provides the means of tracking and recording that claimed reductions in emissions have actually occurred and are stable, and are the starting point for CDM and emissions reduction project planning.  Verifiable emissions reporting is increasingly important for sustainability reporting purposes.

CDM Africa conducts audits in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodologies for:

• Direct and indirect emissions
• Electricity consumption
• Stationary energy
• Natural gas
• Transport
• Waste
