In accordance with the Administrative Measures for Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Trading (for Trial Implementation), and after discussions with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, we have formulated the Implementation Rules for the Validation and Verification of Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Projects. The rules came into effect on December 25. The rules require that before the on-site review is carried out, the GHG voluntary emission reduction project approval team shall complete the document review of the entrusted verification project, and clarify the focus of the on-site review by preliminarily judging the rationality of the project design.
The project owner shall provide the corresponding materials in accordance with the requirements of the implementation rules for verification and verification. For emission avoidance and reduction projects, at least the feasibility study report and project approval (approval and filing) documents, environmental impact assessment documents and their approval (filing) documents, project commencement certification documents and other relevant supporting materials should be included. For removal (carbon sequestration) projects, at least afforestation operation design documents, land and forest ownership documents, proof of commencement date and other relevant supporting materials should be included.
The content of the document review should include at least the following points: the basic information of the review project and the compliance situation;Review whether the project meets the application and registration conditions stipulated in the Administrative Measures for Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Trading (Trial);Review the consistency of the information in the project design documents with the evidence documents;Review the reliability of the data and information in the project's design documents;and other necessary elements to support the on-site review work.
The validation and verification agency shall, according to the characteristics of the project, formulate the specific content of the document review, and clarify it in the detailed implementation rules for validation and verification. The implementation of this rule will help promote the smooth progress of voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction projects and promote the development of China's carbon emission reduction cause.
