What is the difference between a cash fee project and Share of Proceeds (SOP) project?

Modified on Tue, 27 Feb at 3:39 PM

In its second year, a carbon project can choose the Cash-Per-Credit Fee Structure or the Share of Proceeds Fee Structure. In the former, the project pays all of its fees in cash. In the latter, a project can pay a portion of its fees in carbon credits (VERs or CERs): 2% of the total issuance for VER projects and 1.5% of the total issuance for CER projects. This option is only available for carbon projects in the Energy & Waste sectors.
