Gold Standard Reopens Public Consultation on Livestock Methane Methodology

August 18, 2025

If you work in carbon markets, agri-tech, or methane mitigation, here’s your heads-up: Gold Standard (GS) has reopened its public consultation for the In-Situ Capture and Conversion of Cattle Enteric Methane methodology – but only until August 21!

Why It Matters:

📌 Methane has over 80x the warming impact of CO₂ over 20 years
📌 Projects must align with countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement
📌 Designed for global use across eligible livestock systems
📌 Crediting period: 15 years (shorter if legal mandates come into effect)
📌 Could unlock climate finance through high-integrity methane credits, already popular in OTC markets

This is a limited-time opportunity to shape a global methodology with real mitigation potential!
