Module for CO₂ Captured from Air (Direct Air Capture) with Above-ground Mineralization and Storage

The module applies to activities that involve the mineralization and above-ground storage of CO2 captured directly from the air. Monitoring of CO2 storage would be done directly without relying on computational models.

The concept note was submitted by Holy Grail Inc (external). On December 19, 2024, the development of this methodology was put on hold. Verra will consider resuming the development once the following criteria are met:

• Resources are available to support the methodology development process
• The development process can be prioritized over other VCS methodology development work according to the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process.

Verra will reassess whether to resume the development of this methodology in Q2 2025.

Stakeholders interested in collaborating during methodology development or developing projects that this methodology might enable are encouraged to contact methodologies@verra.org. Please include the Methodology Development ID# M0306 in the subject line.
