Is there an additional delay associated with approval of a new methodology?
The use of a proposed new baseline or monitoring methodology will result in an additional step in the project cycle since the proposed methodology must be approved by the EB prior to validation of the project. The complete process should take no longer than four months from the submission of the methodology, provided that no major revisions are required. Project developers should initially consult the UNFCCC website to determine if there is an appropriate methodology that can be applied to the project.
