– Determination of baseline. This is the scenario that represents the emissions of GHG that would occur without the proposed CDM project.
– Evaluation of additionality argument. This is the requirement that the GHG emissions after the project will be lower than that which would have occurred in an alternative scenario without the project.
– Facilitation of local approvals, regulatory compliance and other documentation.
– Assistance in the coordination with international organizations on CDM building.

Validation and Approval

– Development of methodology. Both for determining a baseline and for monitoring actual emission reductions.
– Validation of projects by an authorized validator in order to determine a product’s eligibility for registration as a CDM project.
– Assistance in host country approval.
– Registration.
– Assistance in verification process, ultimately leading to carbon credits.

Certified Emission Reduction (CER) Services
