China
- TÜV NORD China started emission certification program in 2007, providing the services of CDM validation, verification and voluntary emission reduction certification.
- In October 2007, a world-famous client, Tricorona, approached TÜV NORD China for a voluntary emission reduction project with Gold Standard. It’s a cutting-edge standard for carbon emission reduction which puts more emphasis on the assessment of environmental influence and sustainable development. The experts of TÜV NORD China held a global seminar to study and discuss the rules and best practice of gold standard projects, and work with the client closely and efficiently. In September 2008, they finalized the first issuance of Gold Standard voluntary emission reduction project in the world.
