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.
This document is intended for use as a tool to facilitate project development in line with the Just Transition (JT) principle. The use of this tool is mandatory only when required by the applicable methodology.
Gold Standard has developed updated standard requirements under Gold Standard for the Global Goals. Based on the suggestions from the technical advisory committee the Agriculture and Forestry Activity Requirements have been separated.The updated Agriculture Activity Requirements (AGR AR) explains the basic eligibility conditions of Agriculture activities, and enables such eligible projects to undergo Design and Performance Certification, including issuance of Certified SDG Impact Statements and Products. The overarching conditions are explained in this document.
A revision is proposed to the GS approved CDM methodology AMS-III.BP, Emission Reductions by Shore-Side Electricity Supply Systems. This methodology encompasses project activities where ships can dock at shore and – instead of using their fossil-fuel generators to provide auxiliary power while in port – can connect to electricity supply systems. The revision is to expand the applicability to off-shore electricity supply systems.
