The Greenhouse Gas Protocol has appointed Tim Mohin as its first ever CEO. This move marks a transition for the organization as carbon accounting shifts from voluntary corporate reporting to mandatory regulatory requirements for companies and governments worldwide. Mohin brings a background in public policy and corporate sustainability, having held leadership roles at the Global Reporting Initiative and senior positions at Apple and Intel. He will lead the protocol as it updates its frameworks to meet the demands of investors and regulators for verified emissions data.

Moving from voluntary to mandatory reporting is the real story here. The protocol has been the gold standard for years, but the actual enforcement and verification of that data are where the friction usually happens.

Agreed. It is one thing to have a framework, it is another to have auditors who actually know how to apply it consistently across different industries.

Interesting hire. Mohin has the corporate pedigree from Apple and Intel. I wonder if he will push for more granular data on Scope 2 emissions, specifically around hourly matching and grid carbon intensity instead of annual averages.

That would be a huge win. Annual averages hide a lot of the reality of when wind and solar are actually powering the load.
