Energy Intensive Industry Product-Level GHG Measurement
There is no single product-level GHG standard for the energy and emissions intensive industries — there is a stack. Horizontal LCA grammar at the base, an industry-specific estimation substrate above it, the fast-moving product-attribute layer where the commercial action sits, and, at the top, the forcing functions — not regulation alone, but disclosure, capital-market commitments and buyer demand — that turn voluntary measurement into market-access requirements, and increasingly into priced, tradable markets.
Maturity ratings reflect how consolidated each method is, not its technical quality. Every card links to its authoritative source.

Commercial lens. Each card is tagged by where the value pools: Demand pull the compliance, disclosure, commitment and buyer pressure that creates the buyers, Certification audited attributes sold at a premium, Data & intelligence the measurement, monitoring and analytics layer, Methodology the underlying grammar others build on.
Not yet consolidated standards, ordered by how much they could reshape the stack. The first two are the ones to track hardest.
Regulation is what turns a voluntary method into demand. This maps each Layer-4 driver to the measurement standards it activates — where the compliance-driven buyers actually come from.
