Carbon Credits
Carbon credits, also known as carbon offsets, are permits that allow the owner to emit a certain amount of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. One credit permits the emission of one ton of carbon dioxide or the equivalent in other greenhouse gases.
The carbon credit is half of a so-called cap-and-trade program. Companies that pollute are awarded credits that allow them to continue to pollute up to a certain limit, which is reduced periodically. Meanwhile, the company may sell any unneeded credits to another company that needs them. Private companies are thus doubly incentivized to reduce greenhouse emissions. First, they must spend money on extra credits if their emissions exceed the cap. Second, they can make money by reducing their emissions and selling their excess allowances.
Support In Methodology Development:
With the rapid technological development in the various filed of applications towards carbon avoidance and absorption activities, there is a procedural gap of required approved methodologies in almost all the carbon standards around the world. We, with our deep experience in dealing with all possible standards, have a niche service cater to the need of methodology development and approval under various standards, e.g. green hydrogen and green amonia, green steel, transportation energy efficiency & modal-shift, green mobility, metal recycling, etc.

Carbon Avoidance Projects
We enable high quality credit generation from avoidance projects (which do not emit GHG at all). Avoidance projects include renewable power generation projects (solar / wind power generation), and farming emission avoidance projects. Farming emission avoidance projects are also known as REDD+ projects, and these are projects that involve farming without deforestation, wetland destruction or those which use soil management practices that limit GHG emissions.
- Renewable Energy
- Energy Efficiency
- Waste management / recycling
- Waste to energy
- Fuel switching
- Electric Mobility
Carbon Removal Projects
Credits issued from removal category projects which remove GHG directly from the atmosphere include projects in afforestation, wetland management, and direct air / GHG capture together without neutralizing it. We champion best global standardization for such projects for high quality credits that can be easily traded in International markets.
