Characteristics of GSS CERT units<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

There are 2 types of offset units within the GSS CERT System – each corresponding to the equivalent of 1 ton of CO2<\/sub> emissions.<\/strong>
Depending on the project and activity to which they apply, the units are marked with an additional 3-letter tag: GSS-red<\/strong> and GSS-seq<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

GSS Units are created within the framework of projects implemented by System Participants, based on the formalized rules of the GSS CERT System.<\/strong> The requirement for the creation of a GSS Unit is a positive result of Project verification, conducted by an independent Verifier. The condition for the creation of a GSS Unit is confirmation that the requirement for additionality has been met.<\/p>\n

Each GSS Unit shall confirm that either a reduction in GHG emissions or an increase in GHG removals of one (1) metric ton of CO2<\/sub> equivalent has occurred under the Project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    <\/strong>GSS CERT<\/strong> uses blockchain technology to record and consolidate data about each GSS Unit. Through the use of blockchain technology, all relevant data is consolidated: from the moment a Participant joins the GSS CERT System, through project validation, the process of monitoring, verification and creation of a GSS Unit, to each change of ownership of a GSS Unit and the issuance of a GSS Unit. The immutability of the data described by blockchain technology guarantees the certainty of trading GSS Units.<\/p>\n

    Due to the different nature of the projects covered by the GSS CERT System, there are 3 types of GSS Units. Each type is designated by a three-letter tag:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • GSS-red<\/strong> \u2013 a unit representing the reduction or avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions.<\/li>\n
    • GSS-seq<\/strong> \u2013 a unit representing the absorption\/removal of greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere by biological processes using natural processes<\/li>\n
    • GSS-tec<\/strong> \u2013 unit representing the uptake\/removal of greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere by a mechanical\/chemical process using technological solutions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
