The Reserve develops protocols specifying eligibility criteria and detailing steps to estimate, monitor, and verify GHG reductions achieved by specific types of projects. While each protocol contains guidance specific to individual project types, Reserve protocols also adhere to general project accounting principles taken from ISO and WRI/WBCSD standards. Although the ISO and WRI/WBCSD standards are largely consistent in their basic requirements, they have different terminologies and structures. Reserve protocols may utilize terminology from either or both standards depending on circumstances.
