Gold Standard Registry now includes more than 200 valid greenhouse gas reduction projects
11th September 2008
APX and the Gold Standard Foundation are pleased to announce today that the Gold Standard Registry now includes more than 200 valid greenhouse gas reduction projects in various stages of approval representing renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in over 30 countries. This dramatic growth — well ahead of expectations — represents a total potential of approximately 15 million metric tons of carbon equivalents (MtCO2e) per annum. In addition, there are now over 190 account holders, both approved and pending.
The Registry, built and operated by APX, manages the full lifecycle of a carbon credit including creation, serialization, transfers, and retirement, enabling trading of Gold Standard Voluntary Emissions Reductions (VER) credits and Certified Emissions Reductions (CER) credits around the world.
