Does the Registry track CERs and ERUs?

The Registry only serves as the Gold Standard project database for CDM and JI projects. Instead of issuing CERs or ERUs, a Registry public report is used to display the Gold Standard certified CDM and JI projects and the range of UNFCCC serial numbers that have been certified for the CERs or ERUs. The Registry does not provide ownership or retirement status for CERs or ERUs, only whether the credits have been Gold Standard certified. The reason for this is that one credit can only be held in one registry, and CERs/ERUs are already issued by the UNFCCC registries and held in UNFCCC-linked registries. Currently, there are no automated linkages between these registries and the Gold Standard Registry.
