Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Methodologies are technical documents used by project developers to quantify the GHG benefits of different project types.
There are three core components of a carbon crediting program: Eligibility definitions and rules for the design and early implementation phase of a project. They can include additionality and baseline methodologies, definitions of accepted project types, and procedures for validating project activities.
VCS methodologies set out detailed procedures for quantifying the real greenhouse gas (GHG) benefits of a project and provide guidance to help project developers determine project boundaries, set baselines, assess additionality, and ultimately quantify the GHG emissions that were reduced or removed.
Any entity wishing to register projects or issue, retire, or transfer credits must have an active Verra Registry account. Account applications may be submitted by clicking on “Open An Account” at the top right corner of the Verra Registry site.
The Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) project cycle sets out the major steps in developing an individual project to generate credible greenhouse gas emission removals and reductions, as well as credits.
A version control system is a kind of software that helps the developer team to efficiently communicate and manage(track) all the changes that have been made to the source code along with the information like who made and what changes have been made.
Start-up funding for the VCS Association came from the Climate Group, the IETA, and the WBCSD. Costs are covered by a levy charged at the point of Voluntary Carbon Unit (VCU) issuance. The VCS is now a program of Verra which houses the VCS, and the CCBS among other environmental standards.
Timeline for Project Registration The length of the validation process varies from project to project. It can take up to a year or longer (in rare cases). After a successful validation, the project proponent requests project registration with Verra as outlined in the Registration and Issuance Process (PDF) document.
A VCS grouped project combines multiple project activity instances into a single, combined project that adds new instances over time. Using VCS requirements for grouped projects, a project proponent may avoid undergoing a full validation for each new instance added to the project.
