The proposed tool establishes procedures for the continuous quantification of net changes in emission reductions, removals, or carbon stocks over an integrated project area using atmospheric-based observations. Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is done directly in real-time, by measuring the GHG exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere (aMRV).

Summary of Development

On April 1, 2026 the development of this tool was put on hold per the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process (PDF). Verra will consider resuming the development once the following criteria are met:

  • Resources are available to support the methodology development process (including funding, Verra staff time, and external expertise).

Verra will reassess whether to resume the development of this methodology in Q3 2026.

Stakeholders interested in collaborating during methodology development or developing projects that this tool might enable are encouraged to contact methodologies@verra.org. Please include the Methodology Development ID M0444 in the subject line.
