Stationary Operators

At Lucideon we offer independent third-party verification of Greenhouse Gas emissions for companies that fall under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). Since 2005 it has been a mandatory requirement for companies who fall under EU ETS to report annual emissions data - data which must be independently verified.

Lucideon is now accredited to ISO 17029:2019/ISO 14065:2020 to provide global verification of GHG emissions data for the EU Emissions Trading scheme. We have RvA (Dutch Accreditation Council) ) accreditation for EU ETS covering Ireland and the rest of Europe. [Note that the Irish accreditation body INAB is working with RvA towards being an accreditation body for EU ETS in the future].

With industry-leading experience and accredited by RvA, Lucideon provides:

• Annual Emissions Verification
  We will develop a tailored verification plan so that your installation's annual emissions are verified quickly and accurately, allowing emissions data to be reported on time and efficiently
  
• Split Verification
  By spreading verification across the year and reviewing data centrally, we can identify potential issues early, minimising the risk of non-compliance and ensuring that verification can be carried out cost-effectively and with minimum disruption to you
  
• Activity Level Data Report Verification
  These verifications can be complex and poor verification can be costly. An experienced verifier is a critical part of the regulator-operator-auditor loop to help you through the process
  
• Site Closure Verification
  Lucideon performs ‘site closure' verification for sites that require verification of items to leave a mandatory scheme. Lucideon has the capacity to provide verification at short notice to the timeframe your Competent Authority sets

We offer:

• Single Site Verification
  For single-sited companies or multi-sited companies where sites operate independently

• Multi Site Verification
  For companies with common reporting, across sites within one or more countries. Here a central data verification at head office is accompanied by compliance visits to the actual sites. This approach has been adopted by many large companies AND trade associations who manage carbon reporting for their clients

• Remote Verification
  Lucideon has perfected an unrivalled system for remote verification. Clients in the aviation sector and offshore industry have benefited from this for several years. For some classes of installation there is the potential to waive site visits during Phase IV of EU ETS. For those clients with suitable installations Lucideon will help them through the process of obtaining site visit waivers
