CICS Approved by MassDEP as Carbon Emissions Verification Body

MassDEP is in the process of reviewing and accepting Facility Reports from all Massachusetts companies required to file reports in the MassDEP module of the Climate Registry Information System (CRIS).  Upon completion, those reports will be moved into “Verification in Progress” status and the reporting companies will select a Verification Body through the MA GHG Registry.   Verifications for 2010 reports must be completed by the end of this calendar year. 

“We are pleased to be able to assist Massachusetts firms with this important effort,” said Kurt Teuscher, president of  CICS in the U.S. “CICS is a leading global expert in carbon verification and consultancy.
