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.
