The Kyoto Protocol requires that all CDM projects are subjected to validation and verification/certification by a designated operational entity (DOE) ie, a third party verifier. PJRCES offers both validation of projects and verification/certification of emission reductions.

Validation is a requirement for registration of the project and subsequent issuance of CERs. Validation is an assessment of the CDM project design and its estimated reductions. PJRCES assesses the project design, the selected baseline scenario and the monitoring plan to confirm that all relevant criteria are met. The validation also includes a 30-day public hearing, allowing stakeholders to comment on your project. We collaborate with all involved stakeholders during the validation. Following a successful validation, we will recommend the project for registration as a CDM project.

Verification is a periodic performance review that takes place once the project is implemented. It is a result-oriented process determining the emission reductions achieved by your project and verifying continued compliance with the criteria defined under the Kyoto Protocol. The verification includes:

  • Review of monitoring results and data collection systems linked to emission reductions.
  • Review of established practices and the accuracy of data collected as well as monitoring equipment.
  • Review of the management system supporting the reported emission reductions.

Based on a successful verification, the operating entity will determine and certify the amount of emission reduction credits generated. Consequently, we will send a request to the CDM Executive Board, asking that the certified credits be issued.
