Under development

This section provides an overview of methodologies currently in development for the International Carbon Registry (ICR). Each methodology is designed to meet the ICR methodology requirements following the ICR Methodology Approval Process, ensuring scientific integrity, transparency, and alignment with global best practices such as ISO 14064-2.

Here, you can explore methodologies in various stages of development—from concept notes to validation and stakeholder consultations.

Stay informed as these methodologies progress through public consultations, validation by approved VVBs, and final approval by the ICR. If you have any comments or feedback your insights are invaluable in shaping the final methodologies.
