Common Reporting Format

The Common Reporting Format (CRF) contains inventory tables in which all greenhouse gas emissions of every sector of a country can be inserted. The tables are not only sorted by sectors, but by gases, too. The CRF is a standard format developed by the UNFCCC Secretariat and is continuously updated. Every Annex-I country has to report their greenhouse gas emissions in the CRF tables to ensure comparability of the reporting. The greenhouse gas inventory of a country consists of the CRF tables and the National Inventory Report (NIR).
