CDR methods are categorised in three ways. First, MRV protocols are clustered according to their CDR removal process (based on classifications from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC]). Second, users can click into a cluster to view the CDR methods that have associated MRV protocols. Third, users can view the names of the different standard development organisations that have developed MRV protocols within this CDR method type. At all levels of detail, the CDR methods are scaled according to total credit issuance (from information supplied by AlliedOffsets). The larger the node, the bigger the credit issuance associated with that protocol. Project numbers and credit issuance are updated weekly.
The right-hand panel offers numerous filtering tools: users can search for and filter between the IPCC CDR classification, CDR method, specific standard development organisations and MRV protocols. Additional filtering functions are available at the bottom of this panel, including new data on whether protocols have attributional or consequential lifecycle assessment characteristics, their jurisdictional scope, use in voluntary or compliance carbon markets and whether they explicitly consider permanence, additionality, baseline setting, and leakage.
Customising your view is possible using the legend on the left-hand panel. MRV protocols with triangles rather than circles do not have any issuance data that AlliedOffsets can access; or they have no issuance at present. Users can adjust graph settings to organise the data by project count or credit issuance or use a logarithmic scale.
