Digital Assurance for the management and digital verification of CO₂ emissions

Manage, monitor and verify CO₂ emissions and reductions through the RINA digital platform: reliable data, transparency and alignment with international standards such as ISO 14064

Managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is now a central element of organisations’ sustainability and decarbonisation strategies. Growing attention from stakeholders, investors and authorities requires CO₂ emissions data that are reliable, up to date and easy to verify, both at inventory level and for reduction and removal projects, in line with the requirements of international standards such as ISO 14064.

In this context, the integration of advanced digital tools and structured verification processes makes it possible to collect, monitor and report emissions continuously, improving the transparency and quality of environmental information over time. 

Advantages 

Reliable and verifiable data
Structured, verifiable monitoring of CO₂ emissions and reductions.
Maximum transparency
Clear, traceable data to share with stakeholders and authorities.
Continuous emissions monitoring
Moving beyond one-off checks thanks to data updated over time.
Support for decarbonisation decisions
A solid information base for defining emission reduction strategies and measuring progress.
Enhancing environmental results
The ability to demonstrate climate commitment in a concrete and verifiable way.

What we offer

Through the CO2 Reduction digital platform, RINA extends and strengthens the traditional verification model for GHG inventories and projects, introducing a digital, continuous and data-driven approach in accordance with ISO 14064.

The digital data collected and tracked on the platform become objective evidence supporting the verification and validation activities carried out by RINA as an independent body. For GHG projects, the platform makes it possible to monitor the quantities of CO₂ reduced, avoided or removed and to obtain digital verification opinions, including in real time, which can be shared with clients, investors, partners and authorities.

The platform's activities consist of:

  • Platform activation: activation of the dedicated digital environment for the automatic generation of declarations relating to CO2 emission reductions/cancellations and management of the related carbon credits.
  • Project data upload: input of the information validated under ISO 14064 certification into the platform.
  • Digital monitoring and verification: automatic reporting of CO2 reductions and issuance of real-time digital verification opinions.
  • Carbon credit management: generation of VERs (Voluntary Emission Reductions), association with projects and issuance of verification opinions on the generated carbon credit transactions.
  • Sharing with stakeholders: access to results through dashboards and digital certificates, ensuring transparency, traceability and reliability of information.

Frequently answered questions



Which standards is Digital Assurance for GHG based on?

RINA’s digital activities for GHG inventories and projects mainly refer to ISO 14064-1 (verification of GHG emissions inventories) and ISO 14064-2 (validation and verification of GHG emission reduction and removal projects).

Why combine the CO2 Reduction platform with ISO 14064 verification?

Combining the Digital Assurance platform with ISO 14064 verification makes it possible to strengthen the traditional process, making it more continuous, structured and data-driven. The platform does not change the requirements of the standard, but it enables digital collection and management of data relating to GHG inventories and projects, turning them into evidence that can be verified over time. This approach improves the traceability of information, enables more consistent monitoring of CO₂ emissions and reductions, and facilitates the sharing of reliable results with stakeholders, increasing the overall level of transparency and assurance.

Which sectors does the CO₂ Reduction platform apply to?

The CO₂ Reduction platform supports companies operating in various industrial sectors, including steel and metallurgy, oil & gas, energy and utilities, manufacturing, agri-food, fashion and textiles.

Is Digital Assurance also suitable for complex GHG projects?

Yes, the platform is designed to support both GHG inventories and emission reduction or removal projects, including those involving multiple sites or activities.

Can the data be shared with external stakeholders?

Yes, verified information can be made available in a clear and structured way to clients, partners, investors and authorities, supporting transparency and environmental communication.

Does Digital Assurance support corporate decarbonisation pathways?

Yes, Digital Assurance is a valuable support tool for companies already engaged in decarbonisation pathways. By collecting and validating reliable and up-to-date data, it makes it possible to continuously monitor emissions, measure progress against climate goals and support more effective evidence-based decisions.
