The Low Carbon Solutions classification provides a structured framework for navigating standards related to technologies and practices that reduce or remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere. This filter is organized into three primary approaches: Carbon Emission Reduction Solutions, Carbon Emission Removal Solutions, and Low Carbon Management.
Carbon Emission Reduction Solutions encompass renewable energy technologies (including renewable electricity and fuel gases), efficient technologies for energy and natural resource optimization, and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) across all stages from capture to utilization. Carbon Emission Removal Solutions focus on Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) applications in biofuel production, paper industry, and biomass-using industries, as well as Nature-based Solutions (NbS) including forest and wetland actions, soil carbon sequestration, and improved weathering techniques. Low Carbon Management addresses energy management, carbon management (including GHG inventories and carbon neutrality assessments), and natural resource management through recycling and circular economy principles. This classification enables users to locate standards that support the development, implementation, and verification of specific low-carbon technologies and management practices.
