ICR Methodologies

Here all methodologies under the International Carbon Registry (ICR) are listed either under development or approved ICR methodologies. Methodologies are the backbone of GHG projects, providing standardized, consistent, scientifically robust frameworks for quantifying, monitoring, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigations.

Here, you can explore:

  • Methodologies Under Development: Innovative approaches currently progressing through the ICR methodology approval process, open for stakeholder engagement and feedback.

  • Approved Methodologies: Validated and approved methodologies readily for application at the project level, designed to support projects across various sectors.

ICR methodologies ensure consistency, transparency, and credibility, empowering project developers to create impactful projects for mitigating climate change. Whether you're initiating a new project or enhancing an existing one, ICR methodologies provide the tools needed to achieve verifiable and measurable results.
