NEW METHODOLOGY  The Gold Standard has developed a methodology for the activities that involve recovery and use of methane from manure and agricultural wastes that would be decaying anaerobically, emitting methane to the atmosphere in the absence of the implemented activity. This methodology replaces the application of “Technologies and Practices to Displace Decentralized Thermal Energy Consumption (TPDDTEC) v3.1” methodology for ...

 RULE UPDATES  APPLICATION OF TPDDTEC METHODOLOGY TO SAFE WATER SUPPLY PROJECTS  This rule update provides an approach to calculate the parameter value for the quantity of fuel to treat 1 litre of water using baseline/project technologies in cases where advanced technologies, such as improved cookstoves, are used in the baseline. COVID-19 INTERIM MEASURES   Current interim measures have been extended from ...

 NEW TEMPLATE   The Gold Standard Secretariat receives numerous queries, questions and/or concerns from various stakeholders daily. This form is for any entity seeking clarification or interpretation of Gold Standard for the Global Goals and provides a workflow to formalise the review process and to provide resolutions in a transparent and timely manner. Resolved clarification requests deemed useful to other stakeholders ...

 CONSULTATION  Revised methodology for project activities that recover and use methane from manure and agricultural waste This methodology applies to activities that recover and use methane from manure and agricultural waste that would otherwise decay anaerobically and emit methane into the atmosphere. This methodology will displace the application of Technologies and Practices to Displace Decentralised Thermal Energy Consumption (TPDDTEC) v3.1 methodology for biogas generation and thermal energy ...

 METHODOLOGY  Methodology developed to support the origination of high-impact microscale clean cooking projects This methodology was first published in 2013 with the explicit intention to lower transaction costs for microscale activities seeking carbon finance to support improved cookstove technologies.  Taking into consideration feedback from the consultation held in April, we are pleased to publish a revised methodology that now aligns with latest science, introduces further efficiencies ...
