These guidelines aim to provide project developers and third-party auditors with a robust framework for SOC model selection, calibration, validation, and uncertainty management, supporting the adoption of best practices across the industry.
This document serves as a guide for project developers and Coordinating/Managing Entities (CMEs), and Validation/Verification Bodies (VVBs) on remote audits in LUF projects within the project cycle.
The ‘Risks & Capacities’ guidelines is used to assess performance risks related to a blue carbon and freshwater wetlands (BCFW) activity’s non-delivery or reversal of greenhouse gas benefits and other SDG Impacts.
The ‘Risk & Capacities’ guidelines is used to assess performance risks related to nondelivery or reversal of greenhouse gas benefits and other SDG Impacts from Agriculture and Forestry activities.
Reducing methane emissions is crucial for mitigating climate change impacts. The Global Methane Pledge aims to cut collective methane emissions of participating countries by at least 30% from 2020 levels by 2030, potentially eliminating over 0.2°C of warming by 2050.
The Gold Standard is holding a second consultation for the methodology for a Just Transition through the Early Phase Out of Coal-Fired Power Plants.
This document provides non-binding default cost of equity for Turkey to demonstrate investment analysis and additionality of project activities. Depending on the sector, project developers can select the relevant benchmark value for their proposed project activity.
The Methodology Standard for the Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG) provides a comprehensive framework for developing and assessing carbon credit methodologies.
This document outlines the requirements for demonstrating additionality in GS4GG approved methodologies. It aligns with Principle 5 - Financial Additionality & Ongoing Financial Need of the GS4GG Principles and Requirements
Gold Standard is considering expanding the eligibility of LPG (liquified petroleum gas) stove- based projects.
This methodology is applicable to projects that implement activities for the recovery and recycling of metals, alloys, and minerals.
This document outlines the procedure for Core Carbon Principles (CCP) labeling of Gold Standard Verified Emission Reductions (GSVERs) within the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) framework.
The methodology applies to activities, which comprise elevator operation and the application of regenerated energy resulting from the elevator’s regenerative energy potential to achieve emissions mitigation.
Originally, a revision to methodology ACM0005: Increasing the blend in cement production was initiated by Gold Standard, with a view to include the Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) component within the existing CDM methodology.
The conventional production process used to create ammonia is carbon-intensive, accounting for approximately 1% of total Co2 emissions. Using alternative green processes across large industries, such as agriculture, could have an impact on global emission reductions.
This Methodology Tool details a procedure for calculating the emissions associated with the transportation of goods and materials (freight).
The tool is applicable to activities that involve the injection of captured CO2 into saline aquifers or depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs in various states.
