We’re excited to share that oneshot.earth and Global Heat Reduction (GHR) have reached an agreement to bring GHR’s super pollutant methodologies and Heatprint™ data layer onto the Open Carbon Protocol (OCP).
GHR methodologies coming to OCP
Four GHR methodologies will be available on OCP:
- GHR002 — Methane recovery from anaerobic digestion of manure
- GHR003 — Methane recovery from landfill gas
- GHR004 — Methane emission reduction from enteric fermentation
- GHR005 — Emission reductions from rice cultivation
GHR methodologies combine traditional CO2e accounting with a unique radiative forcing approach that incorporates additional short-lived climate pollutants and their impacts over near-term and long-term timeframes.
These methodologies will be in “pending” status until OCP completes an expert-led peer review. Project developers interested in using them on OCP should get in touch with us at info@oneshot.earth.
Heatprint™ Data Layer integration
GHR’s Heatprint™ translates CO2e emissions reduction outputs into their global heat reduction outcomes. With this insight, super pollutant mitigation projects can demonstrate their full climate value while credit buyers and portfolio builders can prioritize and quantify investments that slow planetary warming between now and 2050.OCP will integrate GHR’s Heatprint calculator, enabling Heatprint data for any project on the OCP. This includes:
- Heat impact metrics (including between now and 2050)
- Standardized radiative forcing and heat units (nW/m2 and terajoules) and heat equivalencies
- Visual outputs embedded directly into project dashboards, credit listings, and retirement certificates
Both parties believe project developers and buyers deserve clearer, more effective ways to demonstrate the near-term climate impact of super pollutant credits.
“Climate markets need more than emissions data. They need insight into which projects reduce warming fastest and deliver the greatest climate ROI. By bringing Heatprint data into OCP’s platform, we’re helping make that impact measurable, comparable, and actionable.” — Kiff Gallagher, Founder & CEO , Global Heat Reduction
“The OCP was created to facilitate impactful climate action today. The GHR methodologies will be a great addition to our growing pool of methodologies. The Heatprint Data Layer is a great asset to demonstrate why super pollutant action is necessary now.” — Thomas Annicq, CEO and co-founder, oneshot.earth
More details on review timelines and Heatprint rollout to follow.

About oneshot.earth / OCP
The Open Carbon Protocol is a data-first registry created by oneshot.earth to document and incentivize impactful climate actions. Our flexible and collaborative registry allows project developers, experts, and stakeholders in the voluntary carbon market to create new methodologies and projects that evolve with the science and the market, financing planetary-scale carbon reductions and removals, and providing the right information that buyers need to make informed risk assessments.

About Global Heat Reduction (GHR)
Global Heat Reduction (GHR) is a climate decision-intelligence company that helps public- and private-sector organizations understand which actions reduce warming fastest. GHR’s Total Climate Accounting™ framework builds on traditional carbon accounting by measuring the full range of climate drivers, including super pollutants such as methane, refrigerants, and black carbon. Its Heatprint™ translates that science into a practical decision signal, helping organizations compare interventions, reduce physical risk, and maximize climate ROI.
