    To enroll a methane digester project, submit the completed enrollment worksheet and signed contract to the SWCD or the Delta Institute.

  2. The Delta Institute will review the application, contract, and other materials, and in two weeks or less contact the project owner and the local SWCD, if applicable, directly regarding the completeness of the application.

  3. Once the application is complete, the Delta Institute will countersign the contract and send you and the local SWCD a copy of the completed application materials.

  4. Depending on the size and type of project, land enrolled in conservation tillage, grass plantings, or tree plantings may be field verified by the local Soil and Water Conservation District on a yearly basis. Depending on when the application packet is finalized, verification will occur either in the fall or the spring.

  5. When completed, the verification reports are sent to CCX® and trading can occur. If there is a problem with the verification of the acreage, the Delta Institute will immediately contact the project owner and SWCD, if applicable.

  6. CCX® will review the verification reports over a two to three week period and notify the Delta Institute when the carbon can be traded on the exchange.

  7. After trading, the Delta Institute will pay the project owner for the carbon traded. Payment will typically occur within one month of selling the carbon credits on the CCX®.
