I have a CarbonFix certified project, what will happen with me?
The current CarbonFix approach and methodologies will form a core part of Gold Standard 'A/R Requirements’ (
link). They will be launched by the mid of 2013 and will include new rules and procedures for the certification under Gold Standard. This will involve a technical alignment of the CarbonFix Standard with Gold Standard procedures, governance structures and infrastructure.
Existing CarbonFix projects may transition using the 'CarbonFix Transition Guideline' (
link). Until the 'A/R Requirements’ are released, the CarbonFix Standard remains applicable and you can continue your current CarbonFix project as before, but under the Terms of the Gold Standard.
I'm a project developer and I'm interesting in developing a project under the CarbonFix Standard. What do I have to do, now?
The CarbonFix Standard remains applicable until Gold Standard 'A/R Requirements’ is launched in mid-2013. So, during this time, you will be able to prepare your project information according to the criteria and procedures outlined in the CarbonFix Standard v3.2.
Please note, that with a certification under the CarbonFix Standard you will not be Gold Standard project. Once Gold Standard Gold Standard 'A/R Requirements’ are released, a gap analysis will be undertaken, which will advise on what additional steps might be needed to meet Gold Standard 'A/R Requirements’. There is a possibility that your project will find direct approval under the new Gold Standard scope for afforestations / reforestation - but there is no guarantee in any way.
Until the certification under the new Gold Standard scope is achieved, no Gold Standard forestry credits are issued.
I am a buyer interested to buy CarbonFix credits, where can I get them?
Just as before you can contact the projects directly. Their contact details are on the individual
project pages.
