Mendoza Province Launches Public Dashboard for GHG Emissions with Private Sector Data Integration

The Government of Mendoza deployed an interactive public dashboard displaying provincial greenhouse gas emissions data, marking a shift toward transparency-based climate governance in Argentina’s key mining and agricultural region. The updated inventory incorporates direct emissions reporting from 37 companies spanning large industrial facilities and small-to-medium enterprises, replacing estimation-based methodologies with facility-level data. This Provincial Registry of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, launched in January, establishes mandatory reporting for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions under the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, with Scope 3 reporting remaining voluntary.

The inventory tracks emissions from 2018 forward, providing baseline data as Mendoza pursues net-zero targets aligned with renewable energy expansion and critical minerals mining development. Carbon dioxide and methane account for the majority of reported emissions, with sector-level data covering energy, transport, industrial processes, agriculture, and forestry. The dashboard, accessible through the Mendoza Territorial Intelligence platform, was developed jointly by the Sustainability Coordination and Planning Directorate under the Subsecretariat of Infrastructure and Territorial Development.

Carla Ortega, Sustainability Coordinator at the Ministry of Energy and Environment, stated the private sector data improves the precision needed for evidence-based mitigation and adaptation policies. Matías Dalla Torre, Planning Director, emphasized that transforming technical data into accessible tools strengthens transparency and strategic decision-making. The inventory feeds directly into Mendoza’s Provincial Climate Response Plan, which structures mitigation diagnostics around emission data, adaptation assessments, and concrete policy measures through 2030.

The University of Cuyo’s Sustainability and Waste Engineering Area prepared the technical documentation, with the Sustainability Coordination producing an executive summary for broader audiences. All datasets, visualizations, and interactive materials are publicly available through the Coordination’s official website under an open data policy designed to enable citizen oversight and participatory governance. The methodology follows international standards including the IPCC’s 2006 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and the GHG Protocol’s Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, ensuring comparability with national-level reporting frameworks managed by Argentina’s national environment secretariat.
