💧**INTRODUCING WASTEWATER CARBON PROJECT RATINGS** 💧 Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are essential for public health and safety and environmental protection, but they emit various greenhouse gases during their processes. Wastewater carbon projects can reduce GHG emissions through several strategies. They can also contribute to a range of SDGs by improving access to clean water, generating clean energy, advancing sustainable industrial practices and mitigating impacts on ecosystems. We review four strategies wastewater carbon projects can utilize, how they work, where these projects are typically found and more in this post: https://bit.ly/3Z4Y5iO

🌍 **VCM Quality Update: Looks like continued improvement** The Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) continues to show signs of improvement in 2024, with lower issuances of low-quality credits compared to 2023. Year-to-date E-rated credits are down by 36% compared to 2023, though this is slightly less than the Q1 drop of 50%. Click on the image below to read why. #carboncredits #carbonmarket

Last week The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) announced it has not approved a number of renewable energy methodologies from existing GHG crediting programs as eligible for Core Carbon Principles (CCP) labels. Recognizing the potential of renewable energy projects, the ICVCM has extended an invitation to carbon crediting programs to update their methodologies. The decision by the ICVCM aligns with our analyses of renewable energy projects, specifically large-scale hydropower, solar PV and wind, reinforcing the need for continuous improvement and higher standards in renewable energy methodologies. To date, we have 140 ratings of renewable energy projects. Read more on our analyses: https://bit.ly/4dhfUj6

It’s been almost a week since the SBTi published its Discussion Paper on Scope 3 Target Setting, creating a frenzy of discussion, frustration and confusion. The result was a lot of noise. As always, we’ve done our best to stay out of the fray and simply focus on what this means for our customers. While many hoped that the SBTi would endorse the use of offsets for Scope 3 abatement, that was not actually the purpose of the effort. It is useful to focus on what the SBTi is actually proposing. First, new options for focusing Scope 3 action on the most significant emissions and where companies have greater leverage. A separate document on the effectiveness of carbon credits makes clear that there needs to be more independent analysis on this topic. While we do not endorse any particular approach to offsetting, we recognize that the lack of clarity is frustrating for many market actors. Subscribers to the Calyx Global Platform can access the full post that dives into reasons for SBTi's snail's pace and how companies can move forward in the meantime. The SBTi will not provide draft changes to its Corporate Net-Zero Standard until the end of the year and is aiming to publish v2.0 in 2025.
