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.
Carbon trading has become extremely popular among individuals and organizations, resulting in a considerable development of the carbon exchange market with the main intention of reducing global carbon emissions.
An organization looking to reduce their carbon footprint can purchase credits to cover the emissions they release into the air. Each credit equals one ton of CO₂ equivalent (CO₂), meaning an entity can offset one ton of its own CO₂ emissions for every purchased carbon credit.
Carbon trading is the process of buying and selling carbon credits. Some of these credits are permits that allow a company or other entity to emit CO₂, and some of these credits represent one ton of CO₂ emissions that’s already been offset. Together, they form a market-based system aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions that cause global warming.
Initial carbon trading practices were based on cap-and-trade regulations that introduced market-based incentives to reduce pollution, which, instead of imposing certain laws and hard limits, cap-and-trade programs reward entities which reduce their emissions, while charging penalties to those that can’t. The foundation of this framework was established in the Kyoto Protocol in 2005, ratified in the Paris Agreement in 2015.
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.
