Saudi Carbon Monitoring provides Scope 1 inventory data support in Saudi Arabia, helping industrial organisations assemble the operational and measurement evidence behind direct greenhouse-gas emissions. Scope 1 generally covers direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the reporting organisation under its selected consolidation approach; for an industrial facility, that may include stationary and mobile combustion, process reactions, flaring, refrigerants and fugitive releases.

Saudi Carbon Monitoring scopes, coordinates and manages the data work; the formal accounting decisions are owned by a named GHG practitioner, and any independent assurance is delivered by a separate verifier. The organisational boundary, control approach, greenhouse gases, reporting period and factor set cannot be inferred from a site list alone; they are approved under the chosen framework before totals are presented.
Build direct-emissions source categories
The data register maps boilers, heaters, furnaces, turbines, generators, vehicles, process units, flares, refrigeration and fire-suppression equipment, tanks, wastewater and fugitive components as relevant. Each source has an owner, activity-data route, unit, frequency, evidence file and calculation method.
- Combustion: metered fuel, purchase records or tank reconciliation.
- Process emissions: chemistry, throughput and engineering calculations.
- Refrigerants: charge, purchase, recovery and service records.
- Flaring and fugitive sources: measured data, approved estimation methods or both.
Link measurements to the correct time basis
A source test or leak survey is a snapshot. To support an annual inventory, the practitioner needs operating hours, throughput, event duration, component population or another appropriate activity basis. The evidence file shows how the measured condition relates to the reporting period and where extrapolation introduces uncertainty.
Our facility emissions inventory measurement plan helps identify where additional measurement is worthwhile. LDAR programme support can strengthen component-level fugitive records over time.
Prevent common data problems
Common issues include fuel totals that mix owned and contractor equipment, missing emergency-generator use, inconsistent standard-volume conditions, refrigerant purchases treated as emissions without stock reconciliation, flare estimates without composition, unrecorded process changes and duplicated sites. Each discrepancy needs a transparent resolution and approval.
Factor control is equally important. Record the factor source, version, units, gas coverage, oxidation or conversion assumptions and global-warming-potential basis. Where a site-specific measurement replaces a default, document why it is representative and who approved the change.
Prepare a reviewable evidence pack
A useful pack includes the approved boundary, source register, activity-data files, invoices or meter extracts, process calculations, measurement reports, factor register, unit conversions, assumptions, uncertainty notes, change log and management approvals. It distinguishes actual, estimated and excluded data.
This work supports GHG inventory verification readiness; the future verifier remains free to request more evidence or disagree with a treatment.
For scoping, provide the Saudi entities and facilities, ownership/control structure, fuels, processes, flares, refrigerants, vehicles, monitoring systems, earlier inventories, reporting period, chosen standard and verification plans. Scope 1 data support is available for projects across Saudi Arabia, including Dammam, Jubail and Riyadh.
A source-by-source review table
For each direct source, prepare a one-page row or record covering ownership/control, physical location, source category, activity evidence, measurement, factor or engineering method, reporting period, data owner, reviewer and uncertainty. Include effective dates for new or retired assets. This table helps the practitioner see where one fuel invoice supports several units, where a source test needs annualisation and where maintenance records are the only evidence.
Before calculation approval, select a sample from every major category. Reconcile fuel to purchases and stock where relevant, trace refrigerant events to equipment and service records, align flare data to operating periods and compare fugitive coverage with the component register. Document differences and corrections. If a value is retained despite uncertainty, state why it remains fit for the intended inventory and what will improve next cycle. This evidence-first review is more useful than checking only the final Scope 1 total.
Management approval gate
Before issuing totals, management confirms that the source list represents current operations, significant changes are recorded, estimates and exclusions are visible and data owners have approved their records. The GHG practitioner then signs off the accounting treatment and calculation version. Retain both approvals with the evidence index; a final number without boundary and method approval remains vulnerable to later reinterpretation.
Frequently asked questions
Who provides Scope 1 inventory data support in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Carbon Monitoring provides Scope 1 inventory data support in Saudi Arabia by building the source register, coordinating data owners and measurement evidence, and assembling the evidence pack for the responsible practitioner.
Does Scope 1 include purchased electricity?
Purchased electricity is generally treated in Scope 2 under GHG Protocol, while Scope 1 addresses direct sources within the approved boundary.
Are contractor vehicles included?
Treatment depends on ownership/control and the selected framework. The GHG practitioner determines the category; do not assume from site access alone.
Is all purchased refrigerant counted as emitted?
Not automatically. Records for charge, recovery, disposal and stock movement may be needed to calculate actual releases under the chosen method.
How do I prepare Scope 1 inventory data for my facility?
Start with a source register and assign data owners. Use documented flow, composition, duration and approved methods for flare events, and check that CEMS data fits the inventory method and period.
What affects the cost of Scope 1 data support?
Cost depends on the number of facilities and source categories, the quality of existing records, the measurement evidence to be integrated, and the evidence-pack deliverables.
How long does Scope 1 data support take?
Timing depends on the number of sources, data readiness, owner availability and review steps. Lead time is confirmed in each quotation.
Saudi Carbon Monitoring serves projects across Saudi Arabia, including Dammam, Al Khobar, Jubail, Riyadh, Jeddah, NEOM and Qiddiya.
