Carbon registration and additionality logic target the ABM, Article 6 mechanisms and voluntary markets alike. Every activity is first assessed for eligibility and additionality against the MRV methodologies of the relevant registries.
- Classify each activity by type (single project or Programme of Activities), group (reduction or removal), sector (adaptation, AFOLU, energy, waste) and activity (forestry, agricultural land management and so on).
- Screen eligibility, safeguards, baseline scenario and additionality.
- Assess non-carbon benefits, leakage and non-permanence to pick the best-suited market: adaptation or mitigation, regulatory or voluntary.
- Select MRV methodologies and extract the data needed for performance indicators.
- Estimate credit-generation potential with its uncertainties.
Measured data, modelled estimates and verified outcomes are kept separate. An estimate is never presented as an issued or verified carbon credit.
