"...provide an unbroken audit trail of offset custody and ensures that there is no double counting of offsets."
Aim of the Registry
To ensure the integrity of the trading system, ACX Registry Services has established an offset Registry that tracks the transfer of accredited offsets, both domestic and international, from creation through to the reirement of "spent' offsets, which have been used to reduce a quantity of GHG emissions.
The Registry provides an unbroken audit trail of offset custody and ensures that there is no double counting of offsets, thereby addressing a source of the speculation over the credibility of carbon offsetting to facilitate environmental benefits.
