Non-CO2 GHG removals reported separately
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Separately reports non-CO2 greenhouse gas removals that are accounted for in the physical GHG inventory, distinct from Scope 1 and Scope 3 removals.

Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. Requirement 19 establishes a separately reportable physical-inventory outcome for accounted non-CO2 GHG removals. It is not the same construct or boundary as the existing general removals-and-storage, value-chain removals, or direct biogenic CO2 metrics. Because the source does not prescribe a unit or calculation method, publication is limited to a structured disclosure with field-level reported units and accounting-basis disclosures.
Verified sources
Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Source-edition basis: Land Sector and Removals Standard, Version 1.1, published 30 June 2026; effective 1 January 2027.
- Identify each non-CO2 GHG or gas represented.
- Report the removal amount with the unit used for that field.
- State the accounting basis used to determine that the removal is included in the physical GHG inventory.
- Confirm that the reported amount is presented separately from Scope 1 and Scope 3 removals.
Record-specific limitations
- Conditional disclosure: applies only where non-CO2 GHG removals are accounted for.
- The source requires separate reporting but does not prescribe a measurement unit, calculation method, or aggregation basis.
- This disclosure must not be combined with Scope 1 or Scope 3 removals.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
