Voluntary Emission Reductions or Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) are a type of carbon offset exchanged in the voluntary or over-the-counter market for carbon credits. Verified Emission Reductions are usually certified through a voluntary certification process. Verified Emission Reductions are usually created by projects which have been verified outside of the Kyoto Protocol. One VER is equivalent to 1 tonne of CO2e emissions. Through these schemes, industries and individuals voluntarily compensate for their emissions or provide an additional contribution to mitigating climate change. VERs may be developed and calculated in compliance with one of several VER standards. These set out rules defining how emission reductions are measured. Standards provide assurance for buyers of VERs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Developing voluntary market projects to produce Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) - VER Projects )〕 At a minimum, all VERs should be verified by an independent third party.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sources of VERs, Types of VER, Land use change, Carbon Capture storage, biofuels, Forestry, Afforestation )〕 == See also == *CEB VER *Voluntary Carbon Standard *CDM Gold Standard *Certified Emission Reduction 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Voluntary Emission Reduction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
