At the end of February 2017, CTC submitted an application for Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) qualification to the International Verified Carbon Standard Association (VCSA). Following document review and expert assessment organized by VCSA, on April 14, 2017, CTC officially became the fourth domestic third-party validation/verification certification body designated by the Verified Carbon Standard Association.

The Verified Carbon Standard qualification is another international certification qualification in the field of greenhouse gas verification obtained by CTC, following its CDM Clean Development Mechanism and CCER greenhouse gas voluntary emission reduction qualifications. This qualification covers eight sectoral scopes: energy, energy distribution, energy demand, manufacturing industries, construction, metal production, fugitive emissions from coal/oil/gas, and waste handling and disposal. With this, CTC became the first designated operational entity under VCSA in the building materials industry, and can carry out validation and verification business for clean development mechanism projects within the corresponding professional scopes.

Since entering the field of climate change and greenhouse gas emission reduction in 2011, CTC has not only obtained third-party institution qualifications for mainstream international greenhouse gas emission reduction mechanisms, but has also actively participated in third-party work in the domestic carbon emission reduction market. Up to now, CTC has completed and is in the process of completing nearly 20 CDM validation and verification projects and nearly 30 CCER validation and verification projects. From March 2013 to April 2017, CTC cumulatively completed carbon dioxide verification and spot-check projects for nearly 1,000 enterprises across nearly 20 provinces and cities nationwide, making important contributions to domestic and international greenhouse gas emission control.

The acquisition of the VCS qualification by CTC effectively supplements the technical strength for validation and verification of greenhouse gas projects in China, can better meet customer needs, and promotes the development of international and domestic carbon trading mechanisms. As a third-party validation/verification/verification body for greenhouse gas emissions, focusing on quality and service is the fundamental point that CTC values most. CTC sincerely invites all project participants to jointly carry out friendly, open, and effective communication and collaboration in aspects such as technology, rules, and services, providing strong technical support for the establishment of the upcoming national carbon market and the enormous carbon trading market.
