Application of air quality models and simulation tools to estimate pollutant concentrations, predict dispersion patterns, and assess the impact of emissions on air quality.

Developing and implementing mechanisms that ensure the fair and equitable distribution of benefits derived from EBF activities. This may include revenue-sharing arrangements, community benefit funds, or participation in decision-making processes.

Blockchain based registry is a log and account registry on what projects have developed credits, who has bought the credits, who retired the credit and according to what methodology that enhanced with blockchain technology to improves efficiency, trust and user experiences.

Carbon capture refers to the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide emissions to mitigate climate change and reduce greenhouse gas concentrations.

Entity structure that uses bottom up system with no central authority implementing smart contract. Members have access to own tokens and vote on initiatives of entity.

Leakage, in the context of EBF, refers to the unintended consequences or negative effects that may occur as a result of implementing a specific action or project aimed at addressing an environmental issue. It refers to the displacement or shifting of negative impacts from one area or activity to another, often undermining the overall effectiveness of the intended intervention.

Outcomes-based assessment is an approach used to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of interventions, programs, or policies by focusing on the outcomes achieved rather than on the practices. It involves assessing the extent to which desired outcomes, such as changes in condition, well-being, or behavior, have been achieved as a result of the intervention.

Permanence risk refers to the possibility of released or re-emitted carbon, such as through forest fires or decay of stored biomass, which would negate the intended emissions reductions or removals.

Practice-based assessment refers to the evaluation of a project based on specific practices or activities implemented within an organization, project, or initiative. Instead of focusing solely on broad outcomes or indicators, practice-based measurement emphasizes the assessment of specific actions, processes, or interventions to understand their effectiveness and impact.

Renewable Energy Credit (REC) is a market based instrument focusing on renewable energy generation using megawatt hours as unit of measure sourced from electricity generators. REC can underlie claim use of renewable electricity generation and lower company or organization’s market based electricity emission

Neighboring entities collaborate on a joint carbon offset project where the carbon credits generated are shared between them. This could involve implementing emission reduction activities, such as renewable energy projects or methane capture initiatives, on both properties to collectively generate carbon offsets.

Carbon credit is tokenized as digital representation of real world carbon credit on blockchain through platforms such as Toucan, Nori or others. The paper certificate or some other sort of evidence is translated into an entry of public digital ledger

Voluntary carbon markets are self governed and not enforced or legally mandated in which companies, organizations or individual generating carbon offsets can issue and sell them to others to decrease their carbon emissions. This includes several markets such as American Carbon Registry (ACR); Climate Action Reserve (CAR) Registry (APX, Inc); Gold Standard Registry (APX, Inc); Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Registry (Verra); Climate, Community, & Biodiversity Standards (CCBS) Registry (Verra); Social Carbon Registry (Markit); Plan Vivo Registry (Markit)
