Stakeholder Comment Period for Draft Green-e GHG Protocol for Renewable Energy
Ends Tuesday, August 21st

The Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) would like to announce the release of the Draft Green-e Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol for Renewable Energy for stakeholder comments.

CRS encourages all stakeholders to access the draft protocol at: http://www.green-e.org/getcert_ghg_re_protocol.shtml and provide comments using the CRS electronic comment form. The intent of this protocol is to bring additional credibility to the market for GHG reductions or offsets derived from renewable energy project activities, and to further the development of the voluntary market for renewable energy.

This document establishes the eligibility requirements for Green-e certification of GHG emission reductions from renewable energy, the methodology used to calculate GHG emission reductions, and any other requirements related to tracking, prevention of double counting and double claiming, and verification. Appendix A provides the analysis and rationale for the approach demonstrated in this protocol.

Stakeholder comments on the Draft Green-e GHG Protocol for Renewable Energy are due by Tuesday, August 21st.

Only stakeholder comments received using the comment form will be entered into the official docket and publicly posted at the conclusion of the comment period.
