Hard truth: issuance takes time because verification takes time. That delay protects buyers and the integrity of credits.
Most participants get this wrong because they expect near-term issuance. Registry-grade projects run on a 12-24 month timeline.
Typical timeline stages
Baseline evidence and control period documentation, registry submission, third-party verification, and issuance with buffer allocation.
Why the delay is required
Audits, MRV records, and registry checks must be completed before issuance. This is how double counting and overstatement are prevented.
What you should plan for
Landholders should commit to long-term monitoring and documentation. Buyers should plan procurement cycles around verified issuance windows.
Quiet confidence
A slower timeline is a sign of discipline. We will not shortcut the verification process.
