A Verra VCS methodology is an approved technical protocol under Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard that specifies how a particular project type must quantify, monitor and report greenhouse-gas emission reductions or removals. Each methodology defines baselines, additionality tests, measurement procedures and monitoring requirements so that issued Verified Carbon Units are credible and comparable. It is the rule set against which carbon-credit projects are validated and verified.

- Methodologies set the baseline scenario, additionality criteria and monitoring plan for project categories such as reforestation, cookstoves or renewable energy. They standardise quantification so credits are fungible and auditable, and are increasingly tokenised on-chain for transparent tracking.
