Based on
current knowledge, it is expected that good quality projects from the following programs from both the compliance and
voluntary carbon markets will be eligible: Clean Development Mechanism, Verified Carbon Standard, Gold Standard, Climate
Action Reserve, American Carbon Registry, and a new mechanism which is being developed under the Paris Agreement.
However, when it comes to facilities / equipment and the government and commercial sectors (the majority of energy consumption), most energy analyses show absolutely astonishing levels of waste — so here, I am more inclined to want to look at policy rather than
voluntary actions (unless the
current trend to take
voluntary steps really takes off).
