Offset Project Registration, Verification and Crediting Procedure

While the various project types have different eligibility and quantification requirements, all CCX offset projects go through the same standardized registration, verification and crediting process.  Members of the CCX staff are available to assist project owners in assessing the eligibility of their project(s), as well as provide technical support throughout the crediting process.

To assure quality and legitimacy of Offsets transacted in CCX, CCX rules require an independent verification report on project eligibility and effectiveness before the exchange will issue Offsets to the Member’s CCX Registry account.  Every GHG mitigation project enrolled in CCX must be validated as conforming to CCX eligibility standards and undergo independent verification before it can be issued tradable Offsets in the CCX Registry.
