The Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) would like to announce the release of the second version of the Draft Green-e Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol for Emission Reductions from Renewable Energy for stakeholder comments.
This Second Draft of the Protocol has been revised in response to comments received in the first stakeholder comment period. The draft Protocol, all comments received and CRS's response to these can be found at the Green-e Certified Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program page. CRS encourages all stakeholders to access the draft protocol 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 Protocol for GHG Emission Reductions from Renewable Energy are due by Wednesday, October 10th.
No extensions will be granted, and CRS will not accept any comments received after October 10, 2007. 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.###
