Abstract: Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting is the procedure to quantify the direct or indirect greenhouse gas emissions owing to corporate activities. Data collection, calculation, and public reporting of GHG emission inventories are needed to quantify greenhouse gas output. The information regarding GHG accounting plays an important role in evaluating risks related to climate change. Mitigating GHG emissions helps stakeholders comprehend the company's sustainability strategy. Thus, GHG accounting patterns must be understood and shared. This GHG accounting literature review shows recent trends. The study assesses Web of Science Core Collection research to study GHG accounting science. The bibliometric analysis was performed in the study with the help of 'Biblioshiny', a web-specific R package (Bibliometrix 4.0) to extract the results. The study illuminates numerous research aspects. The findings will enrich the literature and aid practitioners. This study will enrich the bibliometric literature and offer decision-makers valuable business insights. The report emphasises raising awareness of the problem to encourage enterprises to adopt sustainable practices.

Keywords: greenhouse gas emission; GHG accounting; bibliometric analysis; Biblioshiny.
