An MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) platform is a system designed to monitor, report, and verify various activities and data, typically related to environmental and sustainability metrics. The MRV system is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the Riverse carbon credit program.
It provides a reliable basis for issuing carbon credits, ensuring that each credit represents a real, verifiable reduction or sequestration of carbon dioxide, thereby contributing to global climate change mitigation efforts.
Key Functions of the MRV Product:
- Measurement: Custom comparative LCA data model per project, to help you prove your impact to your stakeholders.
- Monitoring: Continuous observation and tracking of project activities to ensure they are operating as expected and adhering to the Riverse Standard. This involves gathering data on relevant environmental, social, and project-specific indicators.
- Reporting: Compilation of data into standardized reports. These reports must clearly demonstrate the project’s compliance with established criteria and its impact on greenhouse gas reductions or sequestrations. Reporting is typically required on a regular schedule and after significant project milestones.
- Verification: Independent assessment of reported data by a third-party auditor. This step is crucial to validate the integrity of the data reported and the effectiveness of the project in achieving its stated goals. Verification ensures transparency and trust in the carbon credits issued under the Riverse Standard.
