Overall, the quantitative road test results underscore the importance of standardizing protocols so that at least across offset programs, and for a given project type, “a ton is a ton”. Currently, as this road test illustrates, this is not quite the case project protocol and all of CCX’s project protocols), modifications to some of the sample projects, and clarifications based on reviewer comments.
