Rule Updates

fNRB application for GS4GG certification

RELEASED DATE
24.04.2025

This rule update revises the application of fNRB values for GS4GG certification, mandating all projects to transition to new eligible estimation methods by mid-2025. Existing fNRB values expire by December 31, 2025, for certified projects and June 30, 2025, for new ones using CDM Tool 30. The update overrides all previous GS4GG fNRB requirements and restricts retroactive value changes for issued GSVERs.

Rule Updates

Methodology for Carbon Sequestration through accelerated Carbonation of Concrete Aggregate  version  1.0

RELEASED DATE
22.10.2024

This Rule Update is applicable to the methodology for Carbon Sequestration through Accelerated Carbonation of Concrete Aggregate (V1.0).

Rule Updates

Applicability Scope Expansion to the Methodology for Biomass Fermentation with Carbon Capture and Storage

RELEASED DATE
05.09.2024

This Rule Update expands the scope of the Methodology for Biomass Fermentation with Carbon Capture and Geologic Storage V1.0 beyond fermentation so that it may cover emissions from additional industrial processes (e.g., anaerobic digestion, combustion, gasification and pyrolysis), thus making it applicable to additional project activities such as Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). The Gold Standard welcomes all feedback. In particular, we welcome feedback on any additional industrial processes that should be included, and any further provisions that should be highlighted at high-level in this document.

Rule Updates

Application of digital version of SDG Impact Tool

RELEASED DATE
24.07.2024

This Rule Update introduces the mandatory use of digital SDG Impact Tool for the quantification and reporting of SDG impacts and assessment against Safeguarding Principles and Requirements by Project Developers (PD) and Coordinating and Managing Entities (CME); validation/verification by Validation and Verification Bodies (VVBs) and design and performance review by Gold Standard/Certification Body (CB).
