KBS Certification Services Pvt. Ltd. Has been contracted to undertake independent verification for the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions reported from the GCC Project activity ‘Water pumps energy saving through wetland treatment solution at Oman’ GCC Reference Number S00006 through submitted PSF version 01 dated 19/05/2021.

 The objectives of this project verification is to validate that the proposed GCC project meets the requirements of latest version of GCC project framework v2.1, GCC program manual v3.1, GCC program processes v4.0, GCC project standard v3.1, GCC project sustainability standard v2.1, GCC verification standard v3.1, GCC Environment & Social safeguards standard v2.0, ISO 14064-2 & ISO 14064-3, applicable GCC approved Methodology GCCM002, version 1.0, applicable legal requirements/rules of the host country, National Sustainable Development Criteria and CORSIA requirements and other GCC  requirements related to aspects such as project design, applicable conditions, project boundary, baseline scenarios, additionality, emission reduction, monitoring plan, local stakeholder consultation, global stakeholder consultation, GHG emission reductions (ACCs), environmental no-net harm label (E+), social no net harm label (S+), diamond SDG label (SDG+), CORSIA+. This report summarizes the final project verification opinion which is based on Project Submission Form v2.2 dated 25/08/2022.

The verification team confirms that the evidences submitted are of sufficient quantity, appropriate quality and reliable. The reported values, notations, units and sources in the PSF for all the monitoring parameters have been cross checked with the latest version of applicable methodology, GCC Project standard, GCC project sustainability standard, GCC verification standard, GCC Environment & Social safeguards standard v2.0, ISO 14064-2 & ISO 14064-3. During the course of verification and on-site visit, information provided was cross checked with the evidences submitted and guidance documents/tools/guidelines/forms.

Based on an understanding of the risks associated with reporting GHG emissions data and the controls in place to mitigate these, KBS planned and performed our work to obtain the information and explanations that we considered necessary to provide sufficient evidence for us to give reasonable assurance that the reported compliance with GCC requirements  are fairly stated.

Based on the information seen and evaluated we confirm that the implementation of the project will result in 901,494 tCO₂e over 09-year period of project activity with an average of 100,166 tCO₂e GHG emission reduction per year.
