Environment Risk Ratings
The environmental market has an ever growing number of project mechanisms, standards and certificates that are used to generate credible emission reduction credits. However, in order for the market to grow to the size that is necessary for it to play a significant part in the attempt to stop climate change, there is a great need for a universal yardstick that can be used to compare all carbon credits.
The Carbon Rating Agency has created a new rating service that defines the “quality” of any carbon credit by analyzing the essential ingredients of a high quality credit.
Highlights
- Our Quality Rating service covers the entire spectrum of quality measures. Projects must be: real, measurable, additional, permanent, leakage proof, verified, unique/traceable, transparent, clear on ownership rights, positive on sustainable aspects.
- The service provides an independent and credible assessment and opinion of the quality of the credits developed under all of the offsetting systems in the global market.
- The result is graded on a 5-point scale that defines the quality of the carbon credit allowing any two carbon credits to be compared.
Typical customers
Since the quality of a credit directly informs its pricing these quality ratings are essential through the environmental market. They will be useful for:
- Regulators;
- Sell side players;
- Carbon credit originators;
- Project developers;
- Buyers; and
- Intermediaries.
