Carbon capture and storage (CCS) perpetuates business as usual, it doesn't represent the paradigm shift we need for energy production. Subsidising the oil and gas industry to clean up their own mess doesn't make sense. If they think this is a good idea, let them invest some of their healthy profits in it. And invest our money in developing energy storage technology to bridge the gaps in renewable electricity production. https://lnkd.in/eDTG5MyN

??????????’?? ???????? ????????: ?? ???????? ?????????????? ????????-?????????????????? ???????????? ?????????????? ?????? ?????? ?????????????????? The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) has announced that carbon credits issued under existing renewable energy methodologies will no longer receive its Core Carbon Principles (CCP) designation. This affects nearly a third of the voluntary carbon market, emphasizing the need for high-integrity carbon credits. ??????????????????: o??The exclusion of renewable energy-based credits is rooted in the principle of “additionality,” ensuring only projects that genuinely need carbon credit revenues for viability are included. o??ICVCM’s decision aims to build a robust and trustworthy carbon market, channeling significant finance to the Global South for genuine climate solutions. o??While current methodologies are excluded, ICVCM is open to reviewing more rigorous renewable energy methodologies, particularly in regions where renewable energy deployment is costly or challenging. ?????? ???? ??????????????: o??This move strengthens the alignment of carbon markets with ESG principles, ensuring that carbon credits truly contribute to climate mitigation. o??Carbon Trading and Offsets: By setting high standards, ICVCM enhances the credibility and effectiveness of carbon trading and offsets, crucial tools for companies striving to meet their ESG targets. o??The decision supports the decarbonization of energy grids in least developed countries, fostering sustainable development and climate resilience. As ICVCM continues to set and uphold global standards, the voluntary carbon market stands to become a more effective and reliable mechanism for driving real environmental change.

???? 32% of Voluntary Carbon Market affected by the high-integrity CCP? label???? The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) recently dropped a bombshell: current renewable energy methodologies won’t make the cut for the coveted high-integrity CCP? (Core Carbon Principles) label. ???? So, what does this mean for the voluntary carbon market? Let's dive in: Rejected Methodologies ?? Eight renewable energy methodologies got the boot! ?These methodologies didn’t meet the CCP Assessment Framework’s requirements on additionality. (Translation: They didn’t prove the projects wouldn’t have happened without carbon credit revenues.) ?? A whopping 236 million unretired credits are affected, making up a hefty 32% of the voluntary carbon market. ?? Gold Standard and Verra, some of the big names in the field, are impacted. Approved Methodologies ??But it's not all doom and gloom! ? The ICVCM approved a methodology for detecting and repairing methane leaks in gas systems (LDAR), covering 19 million unretired credits (2.6% of the market). ??An updated version of a previously approved landfill gas (LFG) methodology also got the green light. ??In June 2024, four LFG methodologies and three for destroying ozone-depleting substances (ODS) were approved, covering 8 million unretired credits. Future Assessments ?? What’s next? ??ICVCM is busy assessing other popular carbon credit types, like REDD+, Jurisdictional REDD (JREDD), and clean cookstoves. ??They’re open to reviewing more rigorous renewable energy methodologies once developed. Impact and Goals Why should you care???♂? ??ICVCM aims to build a high-integrity carbon market to fund climate solutions and finance the Global South. ??They emphasize that companies should prioritize decarbonizing their value chains and use carbon credits as a supplementary measure. ??Their goal? Ensuring carbon credits deliver genuine emissions reductions and positive social and environmental benefits. Governance and Standards ?? Setting the bar high! ??The CCPs provide a global benchmark for high-integrity carbon credits, ensuring transparency, accountability, and quality. ??ICVCM is all about continuous improvement programs to strengthen methodologies and standards over time. ??ICVCM’s latest decisions reflect a commitment to enhancing the integrity and effectiveness of the voluntary carbon market. They’re ensuring it contributes meaningfully to global emission reduction goals and supports sustainable development. ????
