Since CTI Certification was qualified as a third-party auditing agency for CCER projects after being approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in August 2014, with the service concept of "Customer-centered", and with the efforts of a group of experienced, rigorous and efficient auditors with high communication abilities, the auditing of low-carbon emission reduction projects of CTI Certification has obtained high reputation in the industry in recent years.

What is CCER?

According to the Interim Measures for the Administration of Greenhouse Gas Voluntary Emission Reduction Trading issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, the emission reduction involved in voluntary emission reduction shall be registered in the National Voluntary Emission Reduction Trading Register by the national competent authority, and the recorded emission reduction is called "Chinese Certified Emission Reduction (CCER)". After the voluntary emission reduction project is filed, it shall be registered in the national register and traded among the registered trading institutions. All domestic and overseas institutions, enterprises, groups and individuals can participate in the voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction trading.

What kind of projects can be developed into CCER projects?

According to the Interim Measures for the Administration of Greenhouse Gas Voluntary Emission Reduction Trading issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, any project that starts construction after February 16, 2005, and meets any of the following requirements can be developed as CCER project:

• Category (i): voluntary emission reduction projects developed with methodology registered by national competent authorities

• Category (ii): projects approved by the National Development and Reform Commission as CDM projects but not registered with the Executive Board of the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism

• Category (iii): projects that have been approved by the National Development and Reform Commission as CDM projects and have generated emission reductions before they are registered with the Executive Board of the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism

• Category (iv): projects registered with the Executive Board of the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism with the emission reductions not issued.

As far as the technical types are concerned, the main types of project technologies currently developed include wind power generation, photovoltaic power generation, water power generation, biomass power generation, waste incineration power generation, comprehensive utilization of landfill gas, bio-gas utilization, boiler waste heat utilization, industrial waste gas utilization, coal bed methane power generation, forestry carbon sink, etc.

CTI Certification has completed more than 1000 projects approved/certified by CCER/CDM/GS/VCS. The projects locate in China, South Asia, Southeast Asia and Africa. The project types include renewable energy (biomass power generation, wind power, photovoltaic, hydropower, etc.), natural gas power generation and cogeneration, biomass diesel oil, regional central heating, waste residual heat and pressure recovery and utilization, waste disposal (waste incineration power generation, landfill gas recycling), coal bed methane recovery and utilization, transportation, nitrogen oxide decomposition project, forestry carbon sink, etc.

CTI Certification owns a senior greenhouse gas project validation/certification team who can provide professional project validation/certification services, help enterprises publish authoritative reports and statements, carry out project registration and emission reduction certification to obtain tradable carbon credits and create carbon revenue.

It has successively obtained relevant qualifications in the field of greenhouse gas and energy saving services at both home and abroad
