4 Project statuses in the Markit Environmental Registry are categorized as “Listed”, “Validated”, “Registered”, or “Issued”. A “Listed” project is in its earliest stages as a Gold Standard (GS) applicant after submission of a Local Stakeholder Consultation Report and completion of a GS pre-feasibility assessment. A project becomes “Validated” after a series of stakeholder consultations and feedback as well as an audit from an independent UN-accredit auditor, called a Designated Operational Entity (DOE). After a final document review by the GS, the project is then “Registered”. Finally, after another DOE audit and a GS review to verify project emissions reductions, the project is “Issued” CO2 credits.
