Abstract

The objective of this guide is to help carbon and climate entrepreneurs, investors, and regulators with the development of a standardized framework for their MMRV/MRV/dMRV/aMRV systems and protocols by enhancing the accuracy and resolution, in time and space, of carbon sequestration measurements and carbon credits verification by using direct flux measurements. It outlines the minimal set of essential steps for planning, installation, data collection, processing, quality control, and reporting requirements for projects seeking to establish or verify carbon sequestration rates, and generate related credits, based on the quantification of fluxes of CO2 and other GHGs directly in and out of the air.
