3.2 Documentation

In line with sections 6.11, 6.12, and 6.13 of ISO 14064-2:2019, project proponents must provide documentation that demonstrates compliance with the requirements of ISO 14064-3:2019. This includes project-specific documentation such as:

  • A reversal risk mitigation plan

  • A social and environmental risk assessment

Key Documentation Requirements

  1. Project Design Document (PDD):

    1. The PDD must outline all project characteristics.

    2. It serves as the foundation for project validation against the applicable methodology.

    3. The document must include all information specified in section 6.2 of ISO 14064-2:2019.

  2. Monitoring Reports:

    1. All projects must submit monitoring reports as per section 6.13 of ISO 14064-2:2019.

Handling of Sensitive Business Information

  • The NCS will not publish sensitive business information contained in the PDD unless it is strictly necessary to verify GHG calculations.

  • If sensitive information must be disclosed, project proponents will be notified in advance.
