Carbon credit development
DNV supports high-integrity carbon credit projects in hard-to-abate sectors, offering end-to-end services and sector-specific expertise to ensure credits are credible, verifiable, and aligned with leading standards.
Challenges in carbon validation
As pressure intensifies to accelerate decarbonization, companies in hard-to-abate sectors must find innovative, scalable solutions to reduce emissions. While operational efficiencies and clean technologies are crucial, carbon credit development offers an additional route to climate action when direct reduction is limited or delayed. However, credibility is key. To earn stakeholder trust and meet compliance expectations, carbon credits must be developed in line with rigorous, internationally recognized standards.
How our carbon credit services support you
DNV supports organizations in the full development lifecycle of high-quality carbon credit projects under internationally recognized frameworks such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), Global Carbon Council (GCC), Greenhouse Gas Crediting & Offsetting Mechanism (GCOM) and Gold Standard (GS).
Our advisory and consulting covers project design, documentation development, monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and pre-validation assessments to help project developers secure robust outcomes that stand up to third-party validation and verification.
Whether your project is nature-based, technology-driven, or focused on industrial abatement, DNV helps ensure your carbon credits are real, additional, and verifiable – meeting the highest expectations of integrity and transparency. With the operationalization of Article 6 of the Paric agreement underway, carbon credits will play an increasingly critical role in decarbonization across the globe.
