The Corporate Greenhouse Gas Verification Guideline.
(PDF) 2005, ERT.
The Corporate Greenhouse Gas Verification Guideline (CGVG) was created by Environmental Resources Trust (ERT) to highlight and summarize some of the key issues associated with the verification and review of corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventories. The CGVG is designed to assist and support the work of experienced providers of environmental verification services by providing policy neutral information on the scope and process of corporate inventory verification.

Verification System Design for RGGR and RGGI.
(PDF) 2005, Michael Gillenwater.
The Northeast States and several Mid-Atlantic States are currently developing a Regional Greenhouse Gas Registry (RGGR), a policy and accounting framework capable of quantifying and registering greenhouse gas emissions and project-related emission reductions or “offsets.” This registry framework will be used to support mandatory and voluntary greenhouse gas reporting programs and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a mandatory cap-and-trade program. This paper provides recommendations on the design of a verification system for all of the programs expected to be supported by RGGR, including mandatory and voluntary emissions reporting programs and the RGGI emissions trading and project offset program being developed and considered by Northeast policy makers. Specifically, the paper will consider the focus of the reporting system as it relates to the verification system design, the verification process, and data handling and documentation issues.
