Carbon Credits

1 Carbon Credit = 1 Tonne of CO₂ avoided or removed.

A certificate proving that a company or environmental project prevented the emission of one metric ton of CO₂ — or an equivalent greenhouse gas — in a given year.

Valid originating project categories

Forest conservation

REDD+ and equivalent programmes protecting standing forests from deforestation pressure.

Reforestation & afforestation

Restoring degraded or devastated zones — adding new carbon sinks that compound over decades.

Renewable energy

Wind, solar and hydro projects generating avoided-emission credits under recognised methodologies.

Ocean & wetlands

Blue-carbon ecosystems — mangroves, seagrass and coastal wetlands — among Earth's densest carbon stores.

Voluntary carbon credit demand trajectory

Demand 150× by mid-century. The supply chain has to be ready.

Sources of ecosystem credits

Three verticals. Diversified across project type and geography.

01

Voluntary Carbon Markets

Verified projects sourced from global VCM registries — Verra, Gold Standard, ACR — available for immediate tokenisation and retail distribution.

02

Renewable Energy

Wind, solar and hydro projects generating avoided-emission credits under recognised methodologies.

03

Mandatory Carbon Markets

Planned for future integration as regulatory convergence between compliance and voluntary markets becomes financially feasible — positioning COzero to capture institutional compliance demand.
