ACR operates a transparent registry system to record the issuance, retirement and cancellation of serialized, independently verified carbon credits to emission reductions and removals projects.
The ACR registry includes a range of credit labels that are based on credit attributes and eligibility for use in different markets.
To help stakeholders better understand and communicate what the credit labels mean, ACR created an infographic that simply and accurately explains each:
- CORSIA eligible. Credits eligible for use by airlines for their compliance targets in the appropriate phase of the U.N. ICAOʼs Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).
- CCP approved. Credits issued under methodologies that have earned Core Carbon Principles approval from the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM).
- Verified removal. Credits that have been separately quantified and independently verified to have removed and durably stored CO2 from the atmosphere.
- Sustainable Development Goal(s). Credits that support specific U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Ecology eligible. Credits eligible for use in Washington State’s Cap-and-Invest program.
- ARB eligible. Credits eligible for use in California’s Cap-and-Trade program and in WCI-linked markets.
To promote clarity, consistency, accuracy and impact in the marketplace, we encourage ACR stakeholders to use the infographic in communications.
