On April 24, 2019 the Reserve Board of Directors approved the U.S. Landfill Project Protocol Version 5.0. The protocol update includes a revised Performance Standard Test and updated guidance and additional flexibility for monitoring, reporting, and verification, particularly with respect to continuous reporting and monitoring instrument QA/QC. The update also incorporates previously released errata and clarifications as well as minor editorial updates. The final protocol, summary, and protocol development information are available via the Landfill Project Protocol webpage.

The Reserve is hosting a free webinar on Thursday, May 23 to discuss the protocol update and how it affects project development and verification. Project developers and verification bodies are encouraged to attend and members of the public are welcome to join.
