Carbon · RV Assurance

MRV, credits and assurance readiness.

Renewable Vision supports Saudi project owners in moving from carbon opportunity to validation-ready evidence, monitoring-ready data rooms and issuance-ready credit pathways. We prepare and coordinate; a DNA-accredited Validation and Verification Body validates and verifies.

Free for companies

The GCOM preparation tools you would otherwise pay a consultant for, free for Saudi companies.

Using the carbon portal software costs nothing. It is built around GCOM's published Criteria, Standards and Procedures (November 2024). Work done by the RV team stays paid and is priced per engagement.

Free for every company

  • A company workspace that follows each project through the eight GCOM steps, from preparation and planning to credit issuance, with your team invited by email.
  • The evidence data room: each project's PDD, ownership evidence, permits, additionality and monitoring documents in one place. 100 MB of storage per company, files up to 20 MB.
  • The project self-assessment: 19 readiness dimensions, a methodology match, and an indicative credit volume and revenue at five price scenarios.
  • The VVB readiness simulator: seven checklists mapped to GCOM's documents for Validation and Verification Bodies.
  • The VVB marketplace: a reference list of verification bodies.

Paid human services

Each is priced after intake, within the indicative price band published on its page.

Founding companies: 10 places

The first 10 companies that register in the portal and are verified by the RV team no later than 31 December 2026 also receive one GCOM Project Readiness Review, normally SAR 25,000 to 75,000, free of charge.

GCOM project preparation and assurance readiness services

We provide project readiness reviews, PDD and methodology support, digital MRV data rooms, VVB coordination, and carbon asset monetisation support. We sit between project owners and DNA-accredited Validation and Verification Bodies.

Track B · in preparation

Our own accreditation track

Renewable Vision Assurance is being prepared against the GCOM VVB Criteria, Standards and Procedures, alongside ISO 14065 and ISO 17029 management systems. Accreditation is granted by the Designated National Authority only. We are not a DNA-accredited Validation and Verification Body today.

Service portfolio

Five client-facing services. From project intake to credit issuance.

Every service has a fixed scope and a defined deliverable list. The data room is free for companies; the other four carry a published indicative price band. All deliverables are produced in audit-grade Arabic and English, version-stamped and source-linked.

Our own accreditation track (not a client engagement)

Service 06 describes the impartiality framework, quality-management roadmap, competence map and accreditation document set we are preparing for ourselves. It is not offered as a client engagement and carries no price band. We are not a DNA-accredited Validation and Verification Body today.

Client journey

From project idea to issued credit.

Ten stages. Each stage is a deliverable we produce, a checkpoint we evidence, or a hand-off we coordinate with a DNA-accredited Validation and Verification Body.

  1. 1Intake

    Client enters project data and uploads ownership evidence.

  2. 2Methodology match

    Platform recommends the applicable GCOM methodology (M1 to M5) and the required data.

  3. 3Readiness score

    Platform identifies missing items before formal validation.

  4. 4PDD builder

    Platform generates a structured PDD draft and evidence index.

  5. 5MRV setup

    Monitoring plan, meter registry, calibration tracker, QA/QC log.

  6. 6Validation package

    Platform exports a validation-ready package for a DNA-accredited VVB.

  7. 7Monitoring cycle

    Client uploads metered data and supporting documents.

  8. 8Verification package

    Verification-ready monitoring report and evidence pack.

  9. 9Issuance pathway

    Project proceeds through DNA approval and credit issuance.

  10. 10Monetisation

    Credits routed to domestic or international buyers, subject to eligibility.

Independence architecture

Advisory and assurance are structurally separate.

GCOM Criteria section 1.1.2 prohibits the same body from performing both validation and verification of the same project. Renewable Vision separates advisory from assurance in how the work is organised and in the controls applied to it.

Our assurance line is designed to stay separate from advisory through eight controls: separate staff, separate reporting line, separate document access, separate client engagement records, an independent review committee, restricted project assignment, automated conflict screening, and a signed declaration before any assurance engagement is accepted.

This is a governance design the company commits to and applies. It is not presented as an audited or externally certified fact.

Renewable Vision also develops its own carbon and hydrogen project work. Where an advisory engagement touches a pathway we develop, we disclose it at scoping.

Renewable Vision is not a DNA-accredited Validation and Verification Body.

Separate staff

Assurance personnel do not work on the same project as advisory personnel.

Separate reporting line

Advisory and assurance report through separate lines, with the assurance line reporting to the independent impartiality review committee.

Separate document access

Distinct repositories with role-based access. Cross-access is logged and reviewed.

Separate client engagement records

No shared engagement record. Each engagement is filed under its own line of work.

Independent review committee

An impartiality review committee, following GCOM Standards section 3.5.

Restricted project assignment

Assignment is blocked where an advisory engagement exists on the same project.

Automated conflict screening

Run before any assurance engagement is accepted.

Declaration before engagement

A signed conflict-of-interest declaration before any assurance work begins.

Readiness tracker

VVB accreditation readiness simulator

Seven structured tabs mapped to GCOM Criteria, Standards and Procedures: eligibility, impartiality, quality system, human resources, sectoral scopes, accreditation process and the separation model. The simulator tracks Renewable Vision's own preparation. It is not a self-accreditation.

Why local assurance capability matters

A Saudi technical layer between project owners, GCOM, accredited VVBs and credit buyers.

Saudi Arabia's carbon market needs local capability that understands national projects, Arabic and English documentation, GCOM procedures, Saudi industrial context, renewable energy project structures, local grid data and stakeholder expectations.

Saudi regulatory and operating context

We work in the Saudi regulatory, financial and operating context: published GCOM procedure, Arabic and English audit documentation, and the tender and disclosure record we track on RV Intelligence.

Audit-grade documentation

All deliverables produced in audit-grade Arabic and English. PDD, monitoring reports, validation files, verification packages.

Digital MRV evidence collection

A purpose-built data room with meter registry, calibration tracker, QA/QC log and audit trail, all version-stamped and source-linked.

Faster project preparation for VVB review

We run the validation-readiness checklist before the engagement starts, so findings are addressed earlier. Less rework, less calendar time.

Commercial packages

Six packages with published scope and indicative price bands.

Final scope is confirmed after intake. Bands are indicative and reflect typical Saudi engagements as of May 2026.
