The integrity gap

Most carbon claims fall apart under scrutiny.

Modeled estimates. Self-reported data. Verification funded by the party being verified. The market has no shortage of credits — it has a shortage of evidence.

The problem isn't supply. It's proof.

Buyers are being asked to trust numbers they can't check, produced by methodologies they can't audit, verified by parties with a financial interest in the outcome. That's not a market — that's a liability.

of voluntary credits reviewed in 2025 lacked source-level measurement data.

Modeled, not measured

Estimates built on assumptions instead of instruments. If the model is wrong, every credit downstream is wrong.

Misaligned incentives

When the developer picks and pays the verifier, independence is a claim — not a structure.

Closed data

Methodologies behind paywalls, raw data never published. Trust without transparency is just branding.

Our answer

Evidence, not assurances.

We rebuilt the verification stack from the instrument up. Sensors in the field. Independent verifiers paid by the registry, not the developer. Raw data published alongside every credit.

  • 01 Measurement hardware installed and calibrated at every site we onboard
  • 02 Verifiers assigned by rotation — developers never choose who audits them
  • 03 Raw sensor data, methodology, and attestation published with each batch
  • 04 Retirement records permanent, public, and independently checkable
The chain of evidence

From instrument reading to retired credit

Four stages. Each one produces an artefact the next stage depends on — and anyone can audit.

01

Measure

Field instruments log removals continuously. Satellite and soil data cross-check every reading against the site's baseline.

02

Verify

An accredited verifier — assigned by rotation, paid by the registry — audits the batch and signs a public attestation.

03

Issue

Credits enter the registry with a unique ID, the full data trail, and the verifier's signature permanently attached.

04

Retire

Buyers retire against their targets. The record is permanent, public, and impossible to double-count.

Removal pathways

Four methods. One standard of proof.

Different science, different timelines, different costs — held to the same measurement and verification bar.

Biochar

Carbon locked into soil for centuries

Agricultural residue is pyrolysed into a stable carbon form and applied to soil, where it resists decomposition for 500–1,000 years while improving water retention and yield.

Enhanced weathering

Geology, accelerated

Crushed basalt spread across farmland reacts with rainwater and atmospheric CO₂, forming stable bicarbonate that eventually reaches the ocean — the planet's own thermostat, sped up.

Permanence

Direct air capture

Engineered removal, geological storage

Industrial-scale filters pull CO₂ directly from ambient air. The captured carbon is mineralised underground in basalt formations, where it becomes rock within two years.

Living carbon, rigorously monitored

Native-species restoration on degraded land, monitored by LiDAR and ground plots. Buffer pools and long-term stewardship contracts protect against reversal risk.

Built for scrutiny

Designed to be checked, not just believed.

Every credit CarbTrust issues carries its full provenance: the instrument that measured it, the verifier who signed it, the methodology version applied, and the exact site coordinates.

Your auditor can trace any tonne in your portfolio back to source without asking us for anything. That's the point — infrastructure that doesn't require trusting the operator.

We stopped buying credits we couldn't explain to our auditor. CarbTrust was the first platform where the answer to "how do you know?" wasn't a brochure.

Whether you remove carbon or account for it

For Suppliers

Get paid for what you actually remove

Rigorous measurement isn't a burden — it's leverage. Projects that can prove their numbers command better prices and longer contracts.

  • Instrumentation and MRV tooling included
  • Multi-year offtake with pre-payment
  • Verification coordinated and funded by us
  • Onboarding in under four weeks

Questions

The things buyers actually ask

Traditional registries record what developers submit. We generate the measurement ourselves through instrumentation we install and maintain, assign verifiers by rotation rather than developer choice, and publish the raw data alongside every credit. The registry function is the last step, not the whole product.

We do, from a pooled fee collected at issuance. Developers never select or pay their own verifier, and verifiers are rotated across projects. It's the same principle that separates auditors from the companies they audit — structural independence rather than a stated commitment.

Credits are only issued against measured removals, so under-delivery shows up as fewer credits rather than unbacked ones. For reversal risk on biological pathways, we hold a buffer pool funded by a percentage of every issuance, and buyers are made whole from that pool if a reversal is confirmed.

Our methodologies are built against the ICVCM Core Carbon Principles and our claims guidance follows the VCMI Claims Code. We also structure retirement records to satisfy GHG Protocol reporting and the emerging EU CRCF framework. Documentation for each is available on request.

Yes, and we encourage it. Every offtake agreement includes site access rights. We coordinate visits directly with developers and can arrange technical walkthroughs with the verifier who audits the site.

Spot purchases start at 100 tonnes. Multi-year offtake agreements — which is where most of the pricing advantage sits — typically start at 1,000 tonnes per year. We'll tell you honestly if a smaller volume is better served elsewhere.
