Tool for the Estimation of Emissions Associated with Electricity Consumption

The proposed new tool provides procedures and requirements to estimate baseline, project, and leakage emissions from electricity consumption.

It is intended for use with VCS-approved methodologies and eligible projects where estimations of emissions from electricity use are required. The tool provides different options for proponents depending on the applicable electricity system and data availability.

The proposed tool is being developed by Verra and is currently at “Step 3: Draft Methodology Development” of the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process, 4.3 (PDF).

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# M0251 in the subject line.
