Chapter 2: VCM project types and standards 2.9 Comparing standards of the forestry VCM Not all project types are eligible under all standards. Table 3 indicates which standards accept which project type. Ex-ante refers to an estimate of carbon credits that will be accrued by the project in future. Ex-post means that carbon credits are only certified once they have been accrued. In practice this means that the CarbonFix standard registers carbon credits that have not yet materialized. The advantage of this is that potential investors have assurance from the standard that these carbon credits will eventually be accrued. The credits have a specific identifier attached to their serial number that identifies them as ‘futures’. These are carbon benefits that may occur in future if the project is implemented according to the validated Project Description. Table 4 shows the numbers and types of projects that have been certified against the various standards. 75
