Type of project: Energy industries (renewable/non-renewable sources)


Legal or NGO standard: Verra


Project durability period: Permanent 


Independent or 3rd party validation/verification: GHD Services, Inc. (GHD)


Annual emissions reductions/removal: 130,647 mtCO2e (2023) *

* This represents the most recent verified annual emissions reduction, taken from the project verification report in 2023.


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 have been validated by an independent third-party review. There is no reversal risk becasue the conversion process is irreversible. If credits generated by the process are found to be in error, 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 the Greater New Bedford LFG Utilization Project Monitoring Report which is publicly available at Greater New Bedford LFG Utilization Project I Terrapass.
