Modified on Mon, 9 Dec at 4:54 PM

Gold Standard VERs and CERs were declared eligible for all project types for the CORSIA pilot phase, with some restrictions on vintage, microscale and Land Use and Forestry projects. 
  
Vintage 
Gold Standard projects that have a first crediting period start date on or after 01 January 2016 are eligible to supply credits for CORSIA, for credits with vintages between 01 January 2016 and 31 December 2020. 
  
Microscale 
Microscale projects that use the Gold Standard Validation and Verification Fund are not eligible to supply credits to the CORSIA scheme. 
  
Land Use and Forestry 
Planned Emission Reductions (PERs) are not eligible under CORSIA. Gold Standard VERs from certain Afforestation/Reforestation activities are not eligible, but credits from soil carbon, agriculture, and livestock projects may be eligible.
