CRTs are issued to projects in “batches,” with each batch representing a quantity of CRTs awarded to a single project for a specific reporting period. The format of the Reserve serial numbers encodes project and registry information into the serial number. The table below identifies the serial number format that will be used by the Reserve.
All Climate Reserve Tonnes (CRTs) created within the Reserve are assigned a unique serial number to
eliminate double counting of CRTs as well as provide a pedigree for each CRT created. The unique serial
numbers associated with the CRTs persists as the CRTs are transferred between account holders and
retired.
