Green-e Climate Protocol for Renewable Energy
The Green-e Climate Protocol for Renewable Energy (PRE) is a carbon offset project standard developed by CRS in 2007 for U.S. renewable energy and subsequently endorsed by the Green-e Governance Board for use in Green-e Climate. It includes methodologies for the assessment of additionality and the quantification of emissions reductions, along with other requirements related to tracking, prevention of double-counting and double-claiming, and verification.
As of September 19, 2011, CRS will no longer be approving facilities under the PRE. Approved facilities are listed below.
Appropriate use of the PRE shall be limited only to those entities selling Green-e Climate Certified products (listed here).
Use of the PRE by third parties, other than Facility Owners themselves, explicitly for the purposes of marketing specific renewable energy facilities as complying with the terms of the PRE, is not sanctioned by Center for Resource Solutions.
