Criteria of the German ETA accept CarbonFix credits
The German
Emissions Trading Authority, which is responsible in Germany for the
implementation of emissions trading and the project based mechanisms
of the Kyoto Protocol, has released criteria for organisations
involved in the voluntary balancing of their emissions.
The criteria
addresses a ra  nge of issues in which organisations should comply
with. These include:
-
Preventing
emissions is a priority.
-
Providing
realistic emission calculations.
-
Verifying
this information by third party certifiers.
-
Balancing the
remaining emissions with high quality carbon credits.
Credits
generated according to the CarbonFix Standard (CFS) meet these
criteria for balancing the emissions as credits certified according
to the CFS are 'real, additional, measurable, permanent,
independently verified, unique and have sustainable development
benefits'.
Companies
following this criteria can now balance their emissions by credits
generated in projects using the CarbonFix Standard.
