Establish the starting position
A defensible emissions claim begins with an understanding of the baseline. Available operating data, the relevant methodology and the scenario without the proposed change provide the foundation for assessing a reduction.
Connect energy and measurement
Energy output and emissions performance should be considered together. A monitoring framework needs to identify what will be measured, how the data will be recorded and who is responsible for its quality and traceability.
Keep evidence and approvals distinct
Measurement, independent assessment and regulatory decisions have different roles. A filing or approval step does not establish that carbon credits have been issued. Eligibility and the applicable validation, verification and issuance requirements remain important.
Pursue value with integrity
SaltSpring Energy connects productive energy use with a disciplined approach to emissions reduction. Eligible, independently verified reductions can add carbon value, subject to applicable requirements and actual performance.
This perspective explains our approach. It does not announce an operating asset, regulatory approval, transaction or issued carbon credit.
