BioCarbon Standard (BCS)

BioCarbon’s GHG Crediting Program establishes a high-integrity framework for Verified Carbon Credits (VCCs) generated by projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The program applies to climate mitigation projects across multiple sectors, including nature-based solutions, forest conservation, carbon removals, clean energy, energy efficiency, sustainable transport, and waste management.

Through the BioCarbon Standard, eligible projects must meet requirements for additionality, conservative GHG quantification, monitoring, leakage management, uncertainty assessment, safeguards, permanence, independent validation and verification, and avoidance of double counting.

BioCarbon Cert administers the program and makes programmatic decisions based on documented evidence, independent assessment, and the applicable requirements of the BioCarbon Standard.
