    SCM0002: Methane emission reduction by adjusted water management practice in rice cultivation

    This methodology quantifies emission avoidance through reduced anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in rice cropping soils.

  • A tall waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff surrounded by lush green tropical foliage.

    SCM0003: Methodology for Carbon Removals in Private Conservation Areas

    This methodology presents a procedure for determining the annual removal of CO2 from the atmosphere by areas of native vegetation located on private property in Brazil.

  • Two elephants in a grassy, bushy landscape, one larger with big ears and tusks, the other smaller, playing with its trunk.

    SCM0004: Methodology for the regeneration of Spekboom Thicket

    This methodology will provide a means to quantify net GHG emission removals from project activities that restore and regenerate Spekboom Thicket.

  • SCM0005: Methodology for regenerative land management

    This methodology provides procedures to estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission removals resulting from the adoption of regenerative agricultural practices that increase soil organic carbon (SOC) storage.

  • A jaguar resting on a log surrounded by lush green foliage in a jungle setting.

    SCM0006: Methodology for the Conservation of Areas of Biodiversity Importance

    This methodology is designed to offer a new financing mechanism for conservation efforts worldwide. The methodology quantified net GHG emission removals (NERs) from project activities that conserve terrestrial habitats of significant biodiversity and/or ecosystem value.

  • Ducklings swimming in a pond covered with green algae or duckweed.

    SCM0007: Methodology for the treatment of Harmful Algae Blooms

    This methodology provides a means to quantify net GHG removals through the treatment of harmful Algae Blooms in freshwater.

  • An aerial view of a green mangrove forest on the left and a body of water on the right, with a small island of trees in the water.

    SCM0008: Methodology for the Restoration of Mangroves

    This methodology provides a means to quantify net GHG emission removals (NERs) from project activities that plant and restore Mangroves.

  • Dense tropical rainforest with various green plants and trees, including palm-like leaves and twisted branches.

    SCM0009: Methodology for Afforestation, Reforestation, Revegetation

    This methodology provides a means to quantify net GHG emission removals (NERs) from project activities that plant and restore native forest habitats. In doing so, it aims to facilitate the implementation and scaling up of native forest restoration efforts globally.

  • A scenic landscape with rolling grassy plains, winding water channels, and distant buildings under a cloudy sky near a body of water.

    SCM0010: Methodology for Peatland Restoration

    This methodology provides a modular approachmto to quantify net GHG removals and/or reductions from peatland restoration.
