We design MRV systems that quantify climate outcomes and enable access to carbon markets. This includes activity data systems, emissions reduction calculators, verification-ready documentation, monitoring protocols, and integration with your MEL so climate and development outcomes are tracked together.
Climate MRV
Verification-ready climate data — underwritten by financiers, defended to auditors.
MRV that is bolted on at the end fails at verification. MRV that is built into operations survives it.
What you get
- Activity data systems that field teams can maintain
- Emissions reduction calculators aligned with the relevant standard (Gold Standard, Verra, ISO 14064)
- Verification-ready documentation and audit packs
- Monitoring protocols with sampling, GPS, and photo verification
- Integration with your MEL so climate and development outcomes are tracked together
How we work
-
Pick the standard
Gold Standard, Verra (VCS), ISO 14064, or another — depends on the buyer and the methodology.
-
Design the system
Activity data flows, calculation engine, monitoring frequency, and QA/QC.
-
Run it
First cycle is the most expensive. After that it is routine.
-
Verify
Audit pack preparation, third-party verification liaison, and lessons for the next cycle.
Why Merstat
- Methods aligned with the buyer's standard
- Calculators documented and reproducible
- Integration with MEL so climate and development outcomes are tracked together
Frequently asked questions
Which standards do you work with?
Gold Standard, Verra (VCS), ISO 14064, and others. We pick the standard with you based on the buyer, the methodology, and the geography.
How long to stand up an MRV system?
12–20 weeks for a working system; the first verification cycle typically takes another 6–9 months.
Do you integrate MRV with our MEL?
Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Climate and development outcomes should be tracked in one place.
