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.
This document details the procedures and requirements for calculating CO2 and non-CO2 GHG emissions from stationary fossil fuel combustion.
This new methodology is applicable to activities that involve installation of equipment for reducing methane slip, i.e. methane that escapes unburnt from marine and land-based (stationary) internal combustion engines using natural gas or other methane-rich fuel, including fuels derived from renewable sources.
Electrical vehicles (EVs) can provide significant benefits compared to traditional (baseline) vehicles that are powered by internal combustion engines vehicles (ICE-Vs). While the adoption of EVs in many high-income countries is widespread, the global adoption of EVs is still in a nascent state.
The Blue Carbon and Freshwater Wetlands Activity Requirements explains the basic eligibility conditions of Blue Carbon and Freshwater Wetlands activities
The recent IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land (2019) highlighted the contribution of land-use change and food production systems to global GHG emissions (approximately 23% of all emissions).
Public comments are invited on a new Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) Activity Module which focuses on cover crops planted to cover the bare soil during fallow periods to increase soil organic carbon (SOC). The Activity Module is applicable globally.
This methodology is applicable to project activities that use on-site waste processing to avoid methane emissions caused by organic waste being sent to landfills.
These requirements and procedures would allow certification and crediting of mitigation outcomes achieved as a direct result of the introduction of new policies or regulations
This methodology supports a Just Transition through the simultaneous actions of closure of coal-fired power plants and the installation of renewable energy power plants in a way which does not hinder access to energy and is fair and inclusive for all stakeholders.
