Under Development
The proposed methodology serves as a framework for quantifying the environmental benefits of using mass timber in the construction of buildings. By substituting the use and production of conventional structural building elements with mass timber products, GHG emission reductions are achieved as the project activities increase long-term carbon storage in the building pool. The proposed methodology is globally applicable.
SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENT
- The methodology was proposed by Timber Finance Management AG, Green Canopy NODE, South Pole, and Gordian Knot Strategies under an older version of the the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process (MDRP) (PDF).
- On January 14 2026, the development of this methodology was put on hold.
- Verra will reassess whether to resume the development of this methodology in Q3 2027.
