Puro.earth, the leading carbon removal Standard and Registry in the voluntary carbon market, has opened a public consultation on its carbon-crediting program on December 18th. The consultation aims to align the General Rules of carbon-crediting of Puro.earth with the Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) of the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (IC-VCM) and the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).
The final date for accepting public feedback is January 8th 2024. Any feedback can be sent to contact@puro.earth with subject line: Public Consultation General Rules.
The Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) of the IC-VCM were launched in March 2023 and demonstrate a set of ten principles defining high-quality credits with a focus on governance, emissions impact, and sustainable development. The goal is to create a carbon market that achieves real and verifiable climate change impact.
CORSIA is an initiative developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and adopted in October 2016. It is a carbon offset and carbon reduction scheme that helps the aviation industry compensate for the emissions they cannot abate at the moment.
