It should add genuine value, beyond reporting scopes which already exist.
It should be within the mandate and spirit of EITI – aiming to improve governance at the national level by increasing transparency and convening insight around data sets.
It should have relatively low reporting burden – MSGs and companies are already near the limits of capacity.
Proposed Reporting Scope
Project Level Scope 1 and 2 emissions under GHG Protocol falling within host country jurisdiction.

Reporting standards reviewed: IFRS, SASB, GRI, CDP; Current and pipeline regulation: SEC, EU (CBAM, Methane, CRM, CSRD); voluntary initiatives (Oil Decarbonisation Charter, IMEO, OGCI)
Little-to-no project-level data published: four cases among 12 major OG and mining companies reporting into 60+ platforms.
Project-level data already captured by majors: e.g. CDP, GBA.
EITI Emissions Reporting: coming months
