Protocols In Progress
The California Registry is working to develop supplemental greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting and verification protocols which complement the California Registry’s existing Protocols. During this process, the California Registry creates a multi-stakeholder process that encourages expert and public participation in developing industry-specific protocols.
This process generally includes the following components:
- Voluntary multi-stakeholder workgroup. Group tasked with developing the draft protocols.
- Internal Review. Workgroup members’ respective organizations review the drafts and provide feedback.
- Expert Review. Revised drafts are typically sent to industry, policy and academic experts, along with targeted questions and solicitation of general comments.
- Agency and Public Review. Revised drafts are posted on the CEC and Registry websites, listserv messages are sent to the California Registry’s database to solicit comments, and a public workshop is held.
- Board Review and Consideration The protocols are presented for consideration and approval to the California Registry's Board of Directors.
- Ongoing opportunity for public feedback and comment.
