Project Registration
Project developers can submit a project by uploading the necessary forms and supporting documents to the Reserve website. The Reserve administrators will pre-screen projects for eligibility. Eligible projects will be listed on the Reserve as “works in progress.” Once listed, all project submission forms and their supporting documents will be publicly available (coming soon) and project developers can begin project activities that will undergo verification at regular intervals.
Once verified, projects and their resulting carbon reductions will be registered as CRTs (carbon reduction tons or “carrots”). Registered tons will be serialized and available for movement between accounts.
Eligibility: Review the appropriate protocols to determine your project’s eligibility.
Submitting a Project
- Open an account on the Reserve.
- Review the Getting Started Guide
- Create a new project in the Reserve system:
• From the Manage Projects area click “Upload Documents.”
• Follow the directions to upload the required forms. View the table below to determine the forms that need to be uploaded. - Pay the submission fee for your project.
• The system will invoice you once your documents have been uploaded and the project has been submitted. - Your submitted project will be:
• listed,
• returned to you for revisions, or
• denied.
Managing a Listed Project
- Conduct project activities.
- Select a verifier, who will submit the conflict of interest form.
- Carry out verification.
- Submit verified project documents; verifier submits opinion on-line.
• Project documents and verifier opinion will be reviewed and either approved or returned for revisions.
Registering a Project
- Once the project verification is approved, your account will be invoiced the CRT issuance fee of $0.15/CRT.
- Pay the issuance fee.
- Once payment is received, the CRTs will be created and automatically deposited into your account.
