VCS the global bench mark standard for voluntary emission reductions

21st November 2007 by Sarah Whitworth

CarbonFootprint talks about how the VCS provides a credible but simple set of criteria that will provide integrity to the voluntary carbon market.

The VCS will ensure that all project-based voluntary emission reductions that are independently verified to meet its criteria – defined as Voluntary Carbon Units (VCUs) - represent real, quantifiable, additional and permanent project-based emission reductions.
