Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculator for Residential Real Estate Mortgages in Canada

The Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) is a global collaboration of financial institutions that aims to develop and promote a standard methodology for measuring and disclosing greenhouse gas emissions associated with their lending and investment portfolios. Although the financial sector gradually accepts this standard, practitioners still face several implementation challenges. In this project, we will work with the partner to formulate the carbon accounting implementation methods in line with the PCAF standard and design a GHG emissions calculator for Scope 3 emissions of residential real estate mortgage products in Canada. A final report will be provided to summarize the project achievements for the partner’s business development on carbon disclosure products for lenders.
