Validation and Verification of Climate Projects (ISO 14064-2 / GOST R ISO 14064-2)
One of the widely used methods worldwide for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the implementation of climate projects. Accredited validation and verification of climate projects allows "carbon units" to be registered for the purpose of subsequent sale to offset a company's own emissions from its core operations. Bureau Veritas offers validation and verification of climate projects in accordance with the requirements of the ISO 14064-2 / GOST R ISO 14064-2 standard.
The certification department of JSC "Bureau Veritas Certification Rus" is accredited by the Federal Accreditation Service as a Greenhouse Gas Validation and Verification Body. Registration number in the Register of Accredited Persons (RAP): RA.RU.150046
Under pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, organisations are turning to offsetting and/or emission-reduction schemes to achieve ambitious "carbon neutrality" targets. Greenhouse gas offsetting takes place either through implementing climate projects independently or by purchasing offset credits generated by climate projects implemented by other market participants. Over time, offsetting mechanisms allow companies to "cancel out" their residual emissions and credibly claim to be carbon-neutral.
Bureau Veritas carries out validation and verification of climate projects for their entry into national and international registries with the registration of "carbon units."
Bureau Veritas is among the top five most frequently used Designated Operational Entities for the validation and verification of Clean Development Mechanism/Joint Implementation projects. We have verified more than 1,000 climate projects worldwide.
KEY BENEFITS
MONITORING AND REPORTING ON GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION REDUCTIONS
(VCS) was created to ensure the credibility of emission-reduction projects by verifying that emissions are genuinely being reduced. Projects verified under VCS receive tradeable greenhouse gas emission credits, which are sold to companies seeking to offset their own emissions. Verification by Bureau Veritas tells potential buyers that the credits are legitimate and clean.
GOLD Standard confirms that a project's carbon credits are real and verifiable. Credits from Gold Standard projects can be bought and sold by countries that have ratified the Paris Agreement, as well as by commercial organisations. Bureau Veritas helps companies demonstrate project compliance by issuing certificates confirming conformity with this standard, giving the "green light" for carbon credit trading.
enables carbon-reduction projects in developing countries to earn certified emission reduction (CER) credits. These credits can be traded with industrialised countries to help them meet their emission-reduction targets. Bureau Veritas provides project validation and verification, enabling developers and project owners to demonstrate that they are achieving greater emission reductions.
