What is a Project Design Document?

The essential blueprint for carbon credit project verification and registration

A Project Design Document (PDD) is the cornerstone of any carbon credit project. It provides a comprehensive description of your project's activities, methodologies, and expected climate benefits. A well-crafted PDD is essential for:

Registry Approval

Meeting all requirements for major carbon credit registries like Verra and Gold Standard

Third-Party Verification

Providing the foundation for independent auditor validation

Credit Issuance

Establishing the basis for quantifying and issuing carbon credits

Market Credibility

Building trust with potential buyers and stakeholders

Comprehensive Documentation

Detailed project description and implementation plan

Methodology Application

Proper application of approved carbon credit methodologies

Baseline Establishment

Scientific determination of baseline scenarios and additionality

Impact Quantification

Precise calculation of greenhouse gas emission reductions
