Gold Standard presents a draft methodology standard for addressing leakage emissions in GHG accounting methodologies. This document outlines the requirements for identifying and addressing leakage emissions in Gold Standard for Global Goals (GS4GG) approved methodologies.

This Methodology Standard outlines the Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG) requirements for accounting for suppressed demand in methodologies.

The methodology focuses on capturing methane emissions from cattle (produced by enteric fermentation) and converting them on-site into gases with lower Global Warming Potentials (e.g., CO2).

Two public consultation files—one for GHG reduction technologies and one for GHG removal—introduce a comprehensive set of monitoring indicators designed to strengthen the credibility of climate action and improve the transparency of sustainable development claims.

This methodology outlines a framework for quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions attributable to project activities focused on the production of ammonia with a carbon-intensity that is lower than conventional ammonia

This document details the criteria for establishing baselines within methodologies endorsed by the Gold Standard for Global Goals (GS4GG), thereby ensuring alignment with the Procedure for development, revision, and clarification of methodologies and methodological tools

This methodology is designed for projects where vehicle owners modify their transportation behaviours to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

This methodology is applicable to project activities that remove and durably store carbon dioxide (CO₂) via application of a microbial inoculant to existing cropland.

This Activity Module aims to estimate and monitor greenhouse gas emissions from project activities that enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration on agricultural land. 

This document serves as a guide for project developers, coordinating and managing entities (CMEs), and validation and verification bodies (VVBs) on extension of crediting period for forestry and mangrove projects.

Gold Standard, in discussion with the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO), is exploring the potential for dual certification of projects under the Premium Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (Premium T-VER) and Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG).

The methodology focuses on capturing methane emissions from cattle (produced by enteric fermentation) and converting them on-site into gases with lower Global Warming Potentials (e.g., CO2).

This project methodology enables technology-based mitigation of atmospheric warming caused by aircraft contrail cirrus, which are clouds composed of ice crystal hydrometeors that act as short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs).

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.

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.

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 ‘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.

Gold Standard is considering expanding the eligibility of LPG (liquified petroleum gas) stove- based projects.
