[INFOGRAPHIC] ACR Methodologies: A Diverse Portfolio of Scalable Climate Action
Share
For nearly 30 years, ACR has operated in global, national and state compliance and voluntary carbon markets, issuing more than 300 million project-level emission reductions and removals credits. All projects must be validated and verified in compliance with an ACR-approved methodology.
ACR methodologies support emission reductions and removals across various sectors, including forestry and wetlands, carbon capture and storage, industrial sources, and waste handling and disposal.
Super Pollutants
The following methodologies guide activities for emission reductions and removals from a variety of industrial processes and waste handling and disposal projects.
- Advanced Refrigeration Systems
- Certified Reclaimed HFC Refrigerants, Propellants, and Fire Suppressants
- Destruction of Ozone Depleting Substances and High-GWP Foam
- Destruction of Ozone Depleting Substances from International Sources
- Plugging Orphaned Oil and Gas Wells
- Capturing and Destroying Methane from Coal and Trona Mines in North America
- Landfill Gas Destruction and Beneficial Use Projects
Nature-based Solutions
The following methodologies support emission reductions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry projects.
- Afforestation and Reforestation of Degraded Lands
- Active Conservation and Sustainable Management on U.S. Forestlands
- Improved Forest Management on Canadian Forestlands
- Improved Forest Management on Non-Federal U.S. Forestlands
- Improved Forest Management on Small Non-Industrial Private Forestlands
- Restoration of Pocosin Wetlands
Carbon Capture and Storage
This following methodology supports emission reductions and removals from carbon capture and storage projects.
- Carbon Capture and Storage Projects
To ensure ACR methodologies are grounded in the latest science and the resulting credits are of the highest integrity, ACR’s process for the development and approval of methodologies is led by our highly qualified technical team with input from external stakeholders and subject matter experts.
To help organizations and stakeholders better understand and communicate the diverse portfolio of scalable climate action available through ACR, we’ve created an infographic that summarizes the methodologies we manage.
