From the article:
Landfill gas offsets can now be accredited by Emeryville, California based forest carbon offset verifier, Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) following an expansion to the scope of its carbon offset verification services in response to escalating demand created by the launch of California's Cap and Trade program.
The company said that it is now accredited to verify landfill gas offsets under the Climate Action Reserve protocol and the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), and is pursuing accreditation related to the verification of projects that destroy ozone depleting substances (ODS) and livestock methane.
