Removals meeting removals requirements by storage pool
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Reports physical GHG removals that meet the standard's removals requirements, disaggregated by storage pool.

Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. This is an explicit reporting requirement for an independently reportable physical-inventory result. Storage pool is a mandatory structural dimension, so the outcome is published as a structured disclosure rather than as one total removals quantity. It is not the same identity as ghg-removals-and-storage because the source-specific qualification and storage-pool reporting requirement define a distinct boundary and table structure.

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Source-edition basis: Land Sector and Removals Standard, Version 1.1, published 30 June 2026; effective 1 January 2027.
- Identify the storage pool for each reported removal amount.
- State that reported amounts meet the standard's removals requirements.
- Disclose the physical GHG inventory boundary and applicable scope treatment used for the reported removals.
Record-specific limitations
- Only removals meeting the standard's removals requirements are included.
- The source requires separate storage-pool reporting; it does not support combining qualifying removals with emissions, avoided emissions, GHG credits, or credit-adjusted values.
- The source extract does not specify a reporting unit or calculation equation.
- The GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals Standard v1.1 was published on 30 June 2026 and becomes effective on 1 January 2027; it was not yet effective on the 2026-08-27 catalog date.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
