Reducing GHG Emissions
Reaching Net Zero in the Wine Sector
The first step in a winery's climate action strategy?
A detailed GHG emissions inventory.
​
With detailed inventories, wineries can identify their emissions "hotspots" and implement targeted strategies, then track their progress in achieving emissions reductions over time.
​
That's why one of IWCA’s driving goals is to develop and share rigorous methodologies for wineries to measure their GHG emissions. We provide our member wineries with milestones and standards to measure their emissions year over year, a foundation for them to develop their roadmap to reach Net Zero.
IWCA Tools & Guidance
GHG Emissions Calculators
To encourage widespread, high-standard, consistent GHG measurements, IWCA has developed three GHG emissions calculators for wineries based in Australia, New Zealand, and the US, using region-specific emissions factors.
​
We have recently launched a fourth GHG Calculator version, for the South American region, thanks to the support and efforts of various wineries in Argentina and Chile.
​
They are aligned with World Resources Institute (WRI) GHG Protocols and ISO-14064 standards and cover Scopes 1, 2, and 3.

GHG Emissions Inventory Guidance
IWCA's GHG Inventory Scopes Guidance Document outlines the protocols all IWCA members must follow when measuring their GHG emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3.
