"Leakage" refers to unintended greenhouse gas emissions that occur outside the project boundary as a result of the project activity. This standard ensures that projects do not simply shift emissions elsewhere (e.g., protecting a forest in one area causing deforestation in a neighboring area).
The methodology focuses on reducing methane emissions from livestock from enteric fermentation by capturing them using in-situ devices. Typically, the system includes methane capture and conversion units, which will be worn by the livestock.
