CDM VALIDATION, VERIFICATION AND CERTIFICATION FOR CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTS

Credibility is a key component of climate change projects. It increases investors’ and regulators’ confidence, as well as public support. The expert scrutiny of third-party assessment gives overall assurance to climate change policy.

Partnering with TÜV SÜD gives you and your stakeholders this assurance. We have been assessing climate change and carbon offset projects since 2000. Our experts validate, verify, and certify your projects in line with leading climate change regimes.

VALIDATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTS AS A KEY STEP IN THE PROJECT CYCLE

Before initiating a climate change project, we examine a host of issues including project design, reference scenario, additionality, monitoring plan and environmental compatibility. For projects carried out in developing countries, registration under various climate change regimes like UNFCCC, VERRA, Gold standard, GCC is the declared target as it creates the eligibility criteria for participation in emissions trading.

VERIFICATION ENSURES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF YOUR Climate Change PROJECT

Once a project has been registered, TÜV SÜD performs the verification. In the verification process, we assess monitoring, measuring methods, data retention and the calculation of emission reductions. By conducting regular assessments and taking the appropriate corrective actions where necessary, we ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of your projects. The results are documented in reports.

A positive “Verification Statement” is the prerequisite for issuing certified emission reductions by UNFCCC, VERRA, Gold standard, and GCC. Our experts are among the market leaders in third-party verification of climate change measures worldwide.
