Validation of GHG Projects and Methodologies

ClimateCHECK has extensive experience providing GHG validation services for GHG reduction projects, inventories, technologies/products, as well as government and corporate GHG programs. Our validation services include assessing the technical correctness and consistency with GHG policies and criteria, of the underlying plans, procedures, and data with applicable standards and all with careful attention paid to the objectives of our clients. ClimateCHECK’s validation services provide clients with an independent opinion on their GHG assertions ensuring marketplace credibility of their strategic GHG activities.

Validation Services for GHG Reduction Projects

We validate (“ex ante”, before the start of the project and generation of emission reductions) GHG project assertions, such as amount of tonnes of CO2e reduced or conformance with a specific standard or program (e.g. ISO 14064, CDM Approved Methodologies)

We also perform pre-validation and pre-verification “test audits” to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement before the actual validation or verification.

Validation Services for GHG Inventories and Management Systems

Many companies develop their own company-protocol, specific to their industry and operations. ClimateCHECK validates company-specific GHG protocols for consistency with established and evolving industry guidelines as well as other relevant best practice standards and programs.

Validation Services for Clean Technologies and Carbon Neutral Products

New technologies and products generally require a customized or modified protocol to quantify emissions and emission reductions. ClimateCHECK has extensive experience validating new quantification, baseline, monitoring and testing methodologies developed to quantify GHG emission reductions for technical correctness, consistency with relevant GHG policies and programs, and acceptance by intended users.

Validation Services for GHG Programs

For GHG programs in both regulated and voluntary markets we develop new protocols and methodologies, including general, sector-specific and project-specific variations. ClimateCHECK has extensive experience validating protocols and methodologies, involving various GHG experts and providing comprehensive documentation to substantiate the validity of the protocol or methodology.

"ClimateCHECK is a GHG management services provider we can trust in developing and validating GHG quantification protocols for offset projects. ClimateCHECK's formative role in the emerging standards for program design and professional practice makes their advice particularly useful to our clients in Alberta, the first GHG-regulated jurisdiction in North America."
