Our unique approach focuses on partnering with cement and concrete producers to deploy CaptureCrete® and generate high quality carbon credits, enabling business and communities to offset their carbon footprint effectively and contribute meaningfully to global climate goals.
Carbon Limit’s proprietary technologies enable the generation premium carbon credits, with an estimated permanence of over 1000 years, providing assurance of long-lasting emissions reductions.
Each ton of CaptureCrete® treated concrete can capture and sequester as much as 100 kg of CO₂ (Removal Credits), while also offsetting the CO₂ emissions of the replaced conventional cement (Avoidance Credits).
The mineralized CO₂ remains stable under various pressures and temperatures up to 500 degrees Celsius, minimizing chances of reversals. The concrete can be reused as Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA), further increasing its capacity to capture and store CO₂.
Generated from the additional ambient CO₂ absorbed by any Carbon Limit treated concrete or cement based material.
Generated from the reduced use of cement or clinker in Carbon Limit treated concrete or cement-based material.
Carbon Credits generated from pre-cast and concrete blocks are validated by Bureau Veritas under Covalent’s Certificate Standard.
Project activities producing ready-mix concrete are currently being validated and registered under Verra.
Voluntary Credit Units (VCU’s) may be issued for the greenhouse gas emission reductions and removals associated with Carbon Limit’s CaptureCrete® since the project's start date.
Carbon Limit strives to comply with recognized standards such as the Gold Standard, Verified Carbon Standard, or Climate Action Reserve. Adhering to these standards further strengthens the quality and reputation of our Carbon Credits.
Additionally, we work with Covalent's Certification Standard (https://registry.covalent.earth), validated by Bureau Veritas (a world-leader in independent testing, inspection and certification services) and have applied to project certification with Verra, a global non-profit organization tasked with developing and managing standards for sustainable development, climate actions and environmental conservation, both playing a crucial role in validating the integrity of our carbon credits.
For example, Covalent’s standard insists on a minimum durability of 1,000 years for carbon storage, restricts carbon leakage to a maximum of 0.1 percent, and mandates corrective measures if necessary. The carbon credits are quantified in metric tons of CO₂-equivalent, allowing purchasers to counterbalance their impact on global warming.
This allows Carbon Limit to offer credible, high-quality carbon credits to the market.
The carbon credit market plays a vital role in the global fight against climate change by enabling organizations to offset their emissions through verified projects that reduce or remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Among these, carbon removal credits are particularly valuable because they represent tangible efforts to capture and store CO₂ permanently, addressing emissions that cannot otherwise be eliminated.
Removal credits are increasingly sought after by companies aiming to achieve net-zero goals, as they directly contribute to the reduction of atmospheric CO₂ levels rather than merely avoiding future emissions. By investing in removal credits generated by our innovative carbon-reducing concrete technology, you not only offset your emissions but also support scalable, high-impact solutions that drive a more sustainable future.
This framework, established by the Kyoto Protocol in 2005 and reinforced by the Paris Agreement in 2015, gave rise to the compliance carbon market, which mandates emissions reductions through programs like the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and California’s cap-and-trade program. Meanwhile, the voluntary carbon market (VCM), operating without government regulation, has grown significantly in recent years, driven by net-zero goals set by large, sustainability-focused corporations following the objectives outlined in the Paris Agreement.
The compliance or regulated carbon market was born out of the laws mandating emissions reductions. Examples of these include the E.U.’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), or California’s cap-and-trade program. At the same time, the voluntary carbon market (VCM) operates without government regulation and has grown considerably in recent years due to net zero goals established by large sustainably responsible corporations following the objectives established in the Paris Agreement.
In 2024 and coming into 2025, high quality engineered credits generated from construction clean-tech initiatives are highly sought after by these sustainably responsible corporations, and depending on the type of credit (Avoidance vs. Removals), these may typically transact anywhere between $50 - $600 per credit.
