Isometric Certify recently launched to help streamline every step of the verification process for suppliers. Certify makes monthly credit issuance a reality—allowing suppliers to quickly and easily issue the highest-quality carbon removal (CDR) credits and generate revenue in months, not years.
This is the second of three posts exploring how you can use Isometric Certify and focuses on features that enable protocol compliance.
A core part of Certify is validation checklists for carbon removal projects. These checklists give suppliers clear guidance on what to include in their Project Design Document (PDD) and what documentation is required to align directly with our protocols. Checklists are currently available for biochar, enhanced weathering, and reforestation.
This required documentation is known as a validation package. To build a validation package today, suppliers must provide information on the key characteristics of a project and explain how the project aligns with the requirements in the relevant Isometric protocol. Suppliers use PDD templates and create supporting appendices to detail the specific capture, feedstocks, and storage mechanisms that make up their process.
Validation checklists consolidate all these requirements from across protocols into a single resource. This gives every supplier a comprehensive, unique list of what processes, documentation and testing will be required for a specific project. This automatically simplifies complex technical standards into a single source of truth for requirements (and categorizes them in an easy to follow format that follows the same structure as a PDD). Users are able to cross reference these requirements against the exact wording in the protocols, ensuring they know what’s required of them and can take the appropriate actions.
Carboneers used the biochar validation checklist to complete and submit their PDD in under two weeks—a process that would have previously taken months. The validation checklist was used to understand what information they needed to provide and allocate tasks to different members of their team.
“The validation and verification process is faster as there is a clear format for the data required. This improves reportability and verification. We now have more time to focus on what to monitor beyond the minimum requirements of the protocol.”
