-## Policy Guide
-
-This policy is published to Hedera network and can either be imported via Github(.policy file) or IPFS timestamp.
-
-Latest Version - 0.0.3
-Hedera Topic - [0.0.3972127](https://explore.lworks.io/testnet/topics/0.0.3972127)
-
-
-### Available Roles
-
- - Project Proponent - Project developer who proposes and executes cookstove project and receives credits(VER)
- - VVB(Validation & Verification Body) - Independent third party who audits project's critical documentation and monitoring reports
- - Gold Standard(GS) - GS is the trusted registry overseeing the entire project cycle and issuing the credits(VER)
-
-### Important Documents & Schemas
-
- 1. Registry Account Application(RAA) - Account applications to become a project proponent, VVB with registry
- 2. Project Inception Document (PID) - Preliminary design of project highlighting eligibility, additionality and methodology criteria along with stakeholder consultation report
- 3. Project Design Document (PDD) - Submitted after PID is approved, detailed report on project execution, emissions calculations and sustainable development goals.
- 4. Monitoring Report (MR) - Monitoring report contains analysis on cookstove usages on the sample group and estimates carbon avoided/reduced
- 5. VER Credit Request(VCR) - Requesting specified number of credits into Hedera account
- 6. Measuring Device - Registering a stove usage IOT device alongside the cookstove for automatic MRs
- 7. VER Auto Credit Request(VACR) - Requesting automated issuance of credits based on data sent by a measuring device
-
-### Token(Carbon credit)
- Verified Emission Reduction(VER) equivalent to 1 ton of CO2 offset
-
-### Step By Step
-
-#### Registry(Gold Standard) Flow
-
-Registry is allowed to publish and edit policy config, schemas, tokens and all the workflow logic associated with it. They are responsible for approving projects, project proponents, VVBs, and credit issue requests.
-
-1. Login into the service using registry credentials
-
- 
-
-2. Feel free to play around with policy config by clicking on edit icon and understanding the differnt schemas used by policy
-
- 
-
- 
-
- 
-
-3. Registry can review account applications by clicking manage accounts
-
- 
-
-4. Registry can review project inception documents allowing the listing of projects on standard website and trigger project execution on ground.
-
- 
-
-5. Once PDD and MR are approved by VVB, project proponents can submit credit issue requests(VER) which registries have to take decisions on.
-
- 
-
-6. Once VER issue request is approved, an end-to-end trust chain can be viewed by administrator. Since everything is happening transparently on public ledger(Hedera), anyone can trace the source of credits and each step that happened in the process.
-
- 
-
-
-#### Project Proponent Flow
-
-1. Complete the sign up form(RAA) to become a project proponent
-
- 
-
- 
-
-2. Wait till the application is approved by the registry admin. Once approved, proponents will be able to submit project inception documents. This includes stakeholder consultation report as well.
-
- 
-
- 
-
-3. Once project is approved by registry, a detailed PDD(project design document) needs to be submitted. This is the most important document highlighting the technical details of project. It includes calculations around baseline, project and leakage scenarios for accurate calculation of avoided emissions.
-
- 
-
- 
-
-4. After PDD approval, project proponent will execute the project on ground and submit regular monitoring reports(MR)
-
- 
-
-5. Once a monitoring report is approved by VVB, project proponent can request corresponding carbon credits(VER in this case) to be credited in their account. It would need a VC document ID for both monitoring report and it's approved review by VVB.
-
- 
-
- 
-
-6. Once registry reviews and approves the credit request, they'll be credited into the hedera account provided by project proponent. This is represented by successful minted status.
-
- 
-
-
-#### VVB Flow
-
-VVB is the external independent third party responsible for reviewing Project Design Documents and Monitoring reports submitted by proponents. They can comment and reject/request changes as well.
-
-1. After logging in as VVB, they can view review requests related to project documents. First step is to review PDDs submitted by project proponents.
-
- 
-
- 
-
- 
-
-2. After PDD approval, proponents will be able to send monitoring reports for review. Once approved, project proponents will be able to claim corresponding VERs.
-
- 
-
-
-## Futureproofing(Automated credit issuance)
-
-This workflow includes a bonus flow which is a major distinction from other existing policies. Building monitoring reports for cookstove projects is a very manual and error-prone process due to distributed nature of project. Often, a sample group of households are selected to be monitored and results are extrapolated for all the households(in thousands) leading to overcrediting. Since this methodology focuses on having direct measurement devices associated with a stove, an automated way of monitoring is possible.
-
-
-
-1. Project proponent can register a measuring device associated a given cookstove
-
- 
-
-2. Device can be approved/rejected by the VVB
-
- 
-
-3. Once approved, project developer can raise on-demand credit issuance associated with approved devices. These requests would contain stove fuel usage and temperature data collected automatically by the device
-
- 
-
- 
-
-4. After an approval from VVB for the automated monitoring report, VER mint will be initiated in owner account. This will help in faster crediting cycles along with a transparent process for tracking all the intermediate steps. It'll be a huge boost to scaling up the supply of credits in VCM(Voluntary carbon markets).
-
-## TODO
-This policy was created during a hackathon so there may be couple of bugs here and there and it may not be foolproof. Here are some todos to make it production ready. You can reach out to the policy [author/contributor](https://github.com/gautamp8) for reviewing or reporting issues relevant to this specific policy.
-
-[ ] Improve and document list column names for each of the roles, some review IDs are coming as null
-[ ] Improve all the schemas(especially PID, PDD). Add support for dynamically selecting fields on basis of fossil fuel or electric device
-[ ] Automate emissions calculations on basis of incoming parameters of equations from schemas
-[ ] Add Guardian support for list data type in schemas. Helpful for usecases where we're sending device usage data regularly via an API
-[ ] Thoroughly test and improve the futureproofing IOT device workflow, there are dummy checks and thresholds currently. Schemas need to be updated to accept list of usage parameters.
-
-## Existing Cookstove Policy Comparison
-
-Latest version of Guardian provides a policy for [improved cookstoves](https://docs.hedera.com/guardian/guardian/demo-guide/carbon-offsets/improved-cookstove). This new Guardian policy builds on top of it to make it more robust, aligned and future-proof. [Here's a section in demo video](https://youtu.be/nOQpLmbW0hA?t=1318) on differences using policy compare feature provided by Guardian.

-# Gold Standard Methodology – Emission Reductions from Safe Drinking Water
-
-In many regions, households and institutions rely on boiling water typically using biomass or fossil fuels to make drinking water safe. This practice leads to significant fuel consumption and associated GHG emissions.
-
-Gold Standard Methodology – Emission Reductions from Safe Drinking Water provides the standardize approach for quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions achieved through the implementation of safe water supply and water treatment technologies.
-
-This methodology enables project developers to introduce zero emission or low emission water treatment and supply technologies such as Household Water Treatment (HWT), Institutional Water Treatment (IWT), Community Water Treatment (CWT), and Community Water Supply (CWS) systems.
-
-## Baseline Scenarios
-
-* Actual boiling
-Under this baseline condition, users already boil drinking water using biomass or other fuels to make it safe, reflecting existing practices in the absence of the project. Baseline emissions are therefore calculated based on the type of fuel used, stove efficiency, and the volume of water currently boiled by households or institutions.
-
-* Suppressed Demand
-Under this baseline condition, users do not boil water despite unsafe sources due to constraints such as lack of fuel, time, or suitable stoves. The methodology assumes that, in the absence of these barriers, users would boil water to meet safe drinking needs, and baseline emissions are therefore calculated as if the required water volume were boiled using locally representative fuels and stoves.
-
-## Applicability
-The methodology is applicable under below conditions:
-* Treatment technologies include bleach/chlorine, water filter (Ceramic, Sand, Composite, Membrane, etc.), UV disinfection, etc.
-* For rehabilitation projects, the Project Developer (PD) must provide evidence that the existing technology is non-operational and that no maintenance or repairs were planned or carried out for at least three (3) months after it became non-operational.
-* End users include households and commercial or institutional premises, such as shops, schools (day or boarding), prisons, army camps, and refugee camps.
-* The project technology performance level must be demonstrated through laboratory test reports or official notifications confirming that the technology either (i) achieves a 3-star or 2-star (“Comprehensive Protection”) rating under the WHO International Scheme to Evaluate HWT Technologies, or (ii) complies with the applicable national standard or guideline for household drinking water treatment technologies. If no national standard or guideline exists, compliance with the WHO International Scheme is required.
-* Conduct annual water hygiene education campaigns for end-users.
-* To claim SDGs, include monitoring parameters in the monitoring plan to demonstrate and confirm contributions to SDGS.
-
-## Policy Guide
-
-### Available Roles
-
-* **Project Developer** - The Project Developer is responsible for managing and executing the project from start to finish. This includes submitting required project documents to the Standard Registry, assigning Validators and Verifiers, ensuring compliance with applicable methodologies and standards, and coordinating with relevant stakeholders to support effective project implementation and reporting.
-
-* **Validation and Verification Body** - Verifiers are independent parties who check whether a project’s emission reduction and sequestration claims are correct. They review project documents and emissions data, carry out site visits or audits if needed, and provide validation or verification reports to the Project Proponent and the Standard Registry.
-
-* **Authorization Body (Gold Standard)** - The Standard Registry acts as the authoritative body responsible for maintaining project records. Its role includes managing the registration and tracking of approved projects, ensuring compliance with established protocols and procedures, and facilitating communication with Verifiers and relevant oversight bodies.
-
-### Important Schemas
-
-* **Project Form** - Key Information regarding the project activities and project developers.
-* **Project Design Document** - Describes the project in detail, including its design, methodology, baseline, and expected emission reductions.
-* **Validation report** - Documents the independent assessment confirming that the project design complies with applicable standards and methodologies.
-* **Monitoring Report** - Provides recorded data and evidence of project implementation and performance during the monitoring period.
-* **Verification Report** - Confirms that the monitored results and claimed emission reductions are accurate and meet the required standards.
