VII. PROJECT CLASS G: Low emissions manufacturing
Definition:

Standards:
Prior to consensus on appropriate standards at the future review by the Participants, Participants must use the common line procedures outlined in Articles 54-59 of the Arrangement to submit a proposal for a low-emissions manufacturing project. The proposal shall include the GHG intensity of the production of the manufactured product, calculated in compliance with the GHG Reporting Protocol, taking into account Scope 1 and 2 emissions. The proposal shall present a rationale for why this level qualifies as low emissions. This information must be supported by documents which will be filed with the proposal. For projects relating to contracts of a value of at least SDR 20 million, there shall be an independent third-party review conducted on the project, either separately or conducted in concert with the preparation of the project documents. This above-mentioned documentation shall be published in standardized form on the OECD website at the date of the first draw-down (take inspiration from the ECG project Class A project transparency).
