Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
GHG verification is an independent, accredited assessment of an organisation's greenhouse gas emissions inventory against ISO 14064. In Qatar, QatarEnergy increasingly requires third-party GHG verification from operators in the energy sector. Organisations pursuing carbon neutrality, voluntary carbon market participation through the Global Carbon Council programme, or ESG disclosure also require accredited verification.
The Global Carbon Council (GCC) is a MENA-region carbon crediting programme administered by GORD (Gulf Organisation for Research and Development). It provides a framework for validating and verifying carbon offset projects in the region. GSustain is an approved verification body under the GCC programme, enabling us to verify emission reductions for carbon credit issuance.
A standard organisational GHG verification (ISO 14064-1) typically takes 4–8 weeks from scoping to issuance of the verification opinion, depending on the complexity of operations and data readiness. Environmental Impact Assessments vary by scope but typically range from 8–16 weeks. We provide detailed timelines during the scoping and proposal stage.
GSustain is headquartered in Qatar and has delivered projects across the GCC region. Our GAB accreditation is internationally recognised under the APAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA), enabling our verification opinions to be accepted across signatory economies. For engagements outside Qatar, we work with local regulatory advisors to ensure full compliance.
GSustain is GAB-accredited for GHG verification and validation (ISO 14065, ISO/IEC 17029), a Global Carbon Council approved verifier, ISO 14001/9001/45001 certified, a GSAS Trusted Service Provider, an Ashghal-approved environmental consultant, and an ISEP-accredited training centre. Our GAB accreditation carries APAC MRA international recognition.
