ACR Program
We have a long track record of pioneering science-based methodologies for activities that reduce and remove greenhouse gas emissions in forestry and land use, energy, industrial and transportation sectors.
GHG emission reduction and removals projects that use ACR methodologies and are registered to our program meet the requirements of our ACR Standard, which is rooted in sound scientific practice to ensure that all the carbon credits we issue are real, additional, permanent and independently verified.
Credits issued from these projects can be used in compliance markets, such as ICAO’s CORSIA, as well as towards voluntary climate commitments. For more information, please see Our Markets.
The ACR Standard
The ACR Standard details requirements and specifications for the eligibility, quantification, monitoring, reporting, verification, registration and issuance of project-based GHG emission reductions and removals as carbon credits. The Standard establishes the level of scientific integrity that every project must meet in order for ACR to register its GHG emission reductions and removals as tradable environmental assets denominated in metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
