In June 2024 during London Climate Action Week, Isometric hosted a two-day workshop on the future of monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) in carbon dioxide removal (CDR).
Over two days, more than 100 attendees from across industry, policy and the scientific community discussed and debated the most pressing problems in MRV.
All CDR pathways share one fundamental challenge: how to best apply MRV practices to increase high-quality supply, generate greater demand and scale the carbon removal industry.
This paper distills hours of discussion centered around answering that question. Participants shared their views on best practices in MRV and the conditions needed to ensure carbon removal credits are properly verified.
Nine key principles emerged from the discourse between the industry’s leading buyers, suppliers and scientists. This paper sets out those principles of rigorous MRV.
Isometric remains committed to supporting the implementation of these principles in order to help achieve our mission—to scale carbon removal responsibly and fast. We encourage readers to do the same.
