Powering Projects for a Low-Carbon Future

A Project Owner is a registered organization that owns one or more GHG projects or is authorized by another entity (the project Legal Owner), to have overall control and responsibility for GHG project activity. The authorization is formally carried out through the Letter of Authorization or Nomination.

Project Owners play a critical role in ensuring the environmental integrity and transparency of emission reduction projects. They are responsible for guiding projects through every stage — from registration and implementation to credit issuance.
