Coal mine methane (CMM) projects are an important source of offsets and there are a number of GHG accounting standards for a variety of offset programs. This course provides guidance to help you navigate these programs, as well as comprehensive and detailed technical instruction on accounting for GHG reductions, project emissions, and displacement at CMM projects:
There are a wide variety of GHG programs that include CMM projects as emission reductions and thus provide some guidance on CMM GHG accounting. For instance:
The CMM-related guidance provided in these programs ranges in terms of purpose, scope, and specificity. This course draws on all of these resources and provides comprehensive guidance specifically on how to account for and document GHG reductions, project emissions, and emission reductions as a result of displacement of more carbon-intensive energy sources.
The course includes quizzes and exercises to help you learn to apply key lessons. A Certificate of Proficiency is available and requires the passing of an exam for an additional fee.
Key concepts covered include:
