Type of project: Waste Handling and Disposal (carbon removal)
Legal or NGO standard: Verra
Project durability period: Permanent
Independent or 3rd party validation/verification: First Environment, Inc.
Annual emissions reductions/removal: 17,902 mtCO2e (January 1 – December 31, 2021) *
* This represents the most recent verified annual emissions reduction, taken from the project verification report, dated March 31, 2022
Details of “accountability measures” if reversal or shortfall:
Enterprise Mobility carbon offset credits are paid for by rental customers who opt-in to the carbon offset program and these purchases are matched by the Enterprise Mobility Foundation. The carbon offset credits are for emission reductions that have already occurred and been validated by an independent third-party review. If purchased credits are reversed, they will be replaced by Terrapass with credits of comparable quality.
The pertinent data and calculation methods needed to independently reproduce and verify the number of emission reduction credits issued using the protocol may be found in Section 4.0 – Verification Findings of the Project Verification Report, which is publicly available at Midshore Regional Solid Waste Facility (MRSWF) Landfill Gas Combustion Project | Terrapass.
