Articles: 9- Climate project stages: from idea to registration and issuance of unitsThe stages of a climate project: idea, PDD, baseline, monitoring plan, validation, registration and verification — and what to prepare at each step.Basic
- What is MRV: measurement, reporting and verification of emissionsMRV is a system for measuring, reporting and verifying emission reductions. We explain its components, how it differs from corporate accounting and what you can already prepare in the platform.Basic
- Climate project additionality: how to demonstrate itAdditionality means the emission reduction would not have happened without the climate project. We walk through the tests: regulatory, investment, barrier and common practice.Intermediate
- Climate project baseline: how to define and calculate itThe baseline is the without-project emissions scenario against which reductions are measured. How to choose it, what data you need, how to adjust for weather and load, with a worked example.Intermediate
- Climate project monitoring plan: what it should containA monitoring plan sets out which project parameters are measured, with which instruments, how often and by whom. We cover the plan's structure, data quality control and common mistakes.Intermediate
- Heat pumps and heat recovery: how to calculate emission reductionsHow to calculate emission reductions from heat pumps and heat recovery: baseline and project, gas, heat and electricity, emission factors, a worked example and the break-even point.Intermediate
- Leakage, permanence and double counting in climate projectsLeakage, permanence and double counting are three risks that reduce the value of carbon units. What they mean and how they are assessed and accounted for when calculating emission reductions.Intermediate
- Solar plants and battery storage: reducing Scope 2 emissionsHow to calculate emission reductions from an on-site solar plant and battery storage (BESS): self-consumption, surplus, battery losses, hourly balance and a worked example with a grid factor.Intermediate
- Validation and verification of climate projects: what is the differenceValidation checks a project before launch; verification checks the actual emission reductions. We cover ISO 14064-3 and ISO 14065, the review process, common findings and how to prepare.Intermediate
