Method · REBOISEMENT
The Low-Carbon Label is an official certification framework from the French Ministry of Ecological Transition. It guarantees that emission reductions are real, measurable, verifiable and additional.
How it works:
1. The project owner submits a file describing the reference and project scenarios.
2. The difference gives net emission reductions in CO₂ equivalent.
3. An independent auditor verifies the data in the field.
4. The ministry issues the Label and carbon credits are issued.
5. The project is monitored with periodic verifications.
