Coal Transition Integrity Methodology
Keeping Coal in the Ground. Permanently.
A comprehensive methodology for issuing and managing high-integrity carbon credits from coal mine transitions and closures.
What We Do
Methodology Standard
QH Carbon develops and maintains the QH-CTIM, a comprehensive 26-section standard for issuing carbon credits from coal transition activities.
Registry Operation
We operate a secure, auditable registry system that maintains complete records of all issued, retired, and transferred carbon credits.
Verification Oversight
Independent verification bodies assess all projects against QH-CTIM standards with consistent methodology application.
