Wild Assets sources forward-delivered credits from carbon dioxide removal projects based on the key criteria detailed below, which serves as a general guidance for quality and conduct even if not fully materialized in the project as yet.
As an overarching approach, Wild Assets relies on widely trusted and accepted protocols, standards and procedures. This criteria is largely embedded in market standards.
Meeting this criteria does not guarantee business with Wild Assets. The criteria may change from time to time at Wild Assets’ sole discretion. Project developers meeting this criteria are encouraged to propose their forward delivered credits.
