A monitoring report (MR) is a document that outlines the results of monitoring and measuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions or removals from a specific project. The report is used to verify that the project or program is achieving the expected emission reductions or removals stated in the PDD.
The monitoring report typically includes data on the quantity and type of emissions or removals, as well as information on criteria and procedures, the methodologies, and assumptions used in the monitoring process. The report may also include a summary of any issues or challenges encountered during the monitoring process, as well as any actions taken to address them.
The monitoring report is typically prepared by the proponent and assessed by a validation and verification body that assesses the data and ensures that the project is in compliance with the requirements of the ICR requirements, ISO 14064-2 and the PDD. The MR is then submitted to the ICR along with the VerR, and provides the foundation for issuing carbon credits Ex-post based on the results.
