MRV: monitoring, reporting and verification of mining and energy emissions
The MRV module organizes the sectoral greenhouse-gas inventory and mitigation-indicator tracking, so a technical team can review the series, the formula, and the territory without rebuilding the calculation from scratch.
Updated
What it organizes
The sectoral inventory estimates emissions with the IPCC 2006 approach: activity data, emission factor, and global warming potential. The reading can open by gas, fuel, category, department, and year, without flattening a national inventory into a single file.
Beside the inventory sits the PIGCCme 2050 indicator catalog: the sector's mitigation indicators, grouped by generation, demand management, efficiency, substitution, fugitive emissions, emissions, and tracking. Each indicator keeps its formula, parameters, dependencies, and series.
- Activity data × Emission factor × GWP
- Sectoral inventory (gas · fuel · category · department · year)
- PIGCCme 2050 indicators
- Dashboards · departmental viewer
What a team can consult
The module provides emissions and intensity dashboards, the indicator sheet, and a departmental geographic viewer. Intake combines connectors to public sector sources, audited manual upload, and derivation of indicators that depend on others. XM, UPME, IPSE, the public-utilities superintendency, the ANH, and systems such as RENARE are sector sources. This page does not document those connections from the inside.
Traceability matters more than the chart. A result has to be able to return to its batch, its factor, and its formula. That is what makes an inventory usable when the year changes or a source is corrected.
What it is not
It is not the national greenhouse-gas inventory, a public calculator, or an endorsement of figures. It is the operational implementation of the sectoral module for teams managing mitigation inside the climate information system. Official figures remain with their sources and institutional channels.
Parts of the module
Sectoral inventory
Emissions estimated from activity data, factors, and warming potential, opened along the dimensions the team already uses.
- Gas, fuel, and category
- Department and year
- Intensity and applied factors
Indicator sheet
The PIGCCme 2050 catalog stops being a pile of files and becomes a sheet a team can query.
- Formula and parameters
- Dependencies between indicators
- Time series and breakdown
Intake with a trail
Data enters through more than one door, and it is not mixed without a record.
- Connectors to sector sources
- Audited manual upload
- Derived indicators
Terms in the module
- GHG
- Greenhouse gases. The sectoral inventory estimates them; it does not declare them as the national figure.
- IPCC 2006
- Guidelines used as the calculation approach: activity × emission factor × warming potential.
- Fugitive emissions
- A catalog line of its own, relevant to hydrocarbons and methane tracking. This page does not publish a leak inventory.
- Transparency
- Being able to explain where a number came from, not only to show it on a dashboard.

Frequently asked questions
What does MRV mean?
Monitoring, reporting and verification. It is the practice of measuring emissions or indicators, reporting them with a method, and leaving verification possible. In this work it applies to Colombia's mining and energy sector.
Is GearsMap's MRV the national GHG inventory?
No. The module organizes a sectoral inventory for climate management at the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The national inventory has its own institutional owner.
Which indicators does it cover?
The PIGCCme 2050 mitigation-indicator catalog, organized by generation, demand, efficiency, substitution, fugitive emissions, emissions, and tracking.
Can emissions be viewed here?
No. This page explains the work. It does not publish series, factors, or dashboards from the institutional system.
This page describes GearsMap's implementation work. It is not an official publication of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, it does not imply institutional endorsement, and it does not provide access to the system. Operational data, internal infrastructure, and reserved contract information are not published.
Does your organization have territorial data it still cannot use?
The same craft — sources, geometry, indicators, and an interface a team can inherit — applies to climate, operations, or territory. Tell us the hard question.
