Navigating the LSRS: A technical review of the GHG Protocol’s new Land Sector and Removals Standard
The new era of climate accounting
On January 30, 2026, the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol released the final Land Sector and Removals Standard (LSRS). This is a landmark framework that brings land-based emissions and removals onto the corporate balance sheet with the same rigour as traditional financial reporting.
Downforce's ISO-validated, US-patented methodology meets the standard's primary data criteria, which means removals from your organisation’s land is measured rather than estimated, and you can report with confidence.
