Emission Reduction Project Cycle:

   |
The voluntary carbon market continues to grow in volume and complexity relative to the politics and economics of our times. Under federal compliance measures currently being discussed, the qualification of all GHG projects will rely on the professional services of quantification, monitoring, reporting and verification of GHG emissions inventories and GHG offset project validations. Carbon market developers, investors, creditors, and credit buyers and sellers recognize the significance of having documentation rigorously examined according to a set of international standards and guidelines. The International Standards Organization (ISO) certification of GHG Validations and Verifications extends the highest level of assurance and credibility to these areas of attestation.
RCE received its American Natonal Standards Institute (ANSI) accreditation under ISO 14065 (Requirements for Greenhouse Gas Validation and Verification Bodies) in October 2009. The ISO standards require rigorous and consistent GHG management and verification policies of validation/verification bodies. RCE is accredited to perform validations and verifications of GHG inventories and projects for the following GHG programs and registries:
- Landfill methane
- Agricultural methane
- Coal mine methane
- Organic waste projects
- Coal mine methane
- Abandoned mine methane
- Landfill methane
- Agricultural methane
- Renewable energy
- all sectors
The Climate Registry and the California Climate Action Registry
- Electric power generation
- Transmission & distribution
- Combined heat & power
- Mining & metals
- Manufacturing

In order to provide our clients with more comprehensive validation and verification services, we have partnered with Environmental Services, Inc., to provide forestry and land-use verification services.
