Implementation of the monitoring plan

Once the project is operational, project participants are required to implement the monitoring plan:

Project participants shall implement the monitoring plan contained in the registered project design document, archive the relevant monitored data and report the relevant monitoring data to a DOE contracted to verify the net anthropogenic greenhouse gas removals by sinks achieved during the crediting period specified by the project participants (6/CMP.1, Annex, paragraph 26).

Implementation of the registered monitoring plan is required for verification, certification and issuance:

The implementation of the registered monitoring plan and its revisions, as applicable, shall be a condition for verification, certification and the issuance of temporary certified emission reductions (tCERs) or long-term certified emission reductions (lCERs) (6/CMP.1, Annex, paragraph 28).
