Gold Standard expands the scope of its 'Renewable Energy Activity Requirements' to include Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) incineration project activities. Gold Standard developed a set of additional requirements for MSW incineration project activities seeking certification under Gold Standard for the Global Goals. The additional requirements include specific criteria, ranging from stakeholder consultation, project eligibility, environmental emissions and operational requirements to the continuous reporting on the status of regulatory compliance. The objective of these requirements is to ensure that best practice has been followed for project design, development and operation, avoiding any potential negative impact.
