Road Testing Offset Protocols: Landfill, Manure, Afforestation, Reforestation Projects

The report evaluates the consistency of carbon offset protocols across different programs, specifically focusing on landfill methane, manure digesters, and afforestation. By comparing U.S. EPA Climate Leaders’ protocols with those of the CDM, RGGI, CCAR, and CCX, the analysis finds that quantification is not yet standardized, meaning a ton of carbon offset is not consistently valued across different project protocols.

• The quantitative analysis indicates a lack of standardization across offset programs for the same project types, meaning that the quantification of a ton of carbon is not consistent across different protocols.
