This paper looks at the implications of digitalization for the verification of GHG emission reductions or removals. It presents two promising blueprints for using digital approaches to verify carbon projects. The blueprints explore the different roles of project participants and verifiers. They are discussed on the basis of two use cases covering different complexities of project types and digitalization potentials: Grid-connected renewable electricity generation, and afforestation/reforestation (A/R) projects. Finally, the paper formulates a set of principles to contribute to the current discussion on digital verification.
