Our proprietary issuance program partners with cement and concrete producers to generate high quality carbon credits tied to the deployment of CaptureCrete®, enabling motivated businesses and communities to offset their carbon footprint and achieve their sustainability goals.
Carbon Limit works with producers, third party verifiers, and credit registries to provide the highest level of transparency and data integrity for credit purchasers.
Each tonne of CaptureCrete® treated concrete can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 70 Lbs per cubic yard (42 Kgs per cubic meter) of concrete vs. conventional materials, with the potential of capturing and permanently storing CO₂ up to 80 Lbs per cubic yard (47 Kgs per cubic meter) of concrete.
Concrete reduction provides immediate impact, helping to mitigate the 7% of global CO₂ emissions caused by cement production. Captured CO₂ remains stable under various pressures and temperatures up to 500 degrees Celsius, minimizing chances of reversals.
Generated from the reduced use of cement (in concrete) or clinker (in cement) due to the positive impact of CaptureCrete®
Potentially generated from ambient CO2 absorbed by CaptureCrete®-treated concrete or cement materials. Carbon Limit is partnered with industry experts and government partners to develop the market standard for measuring net carbonation benefits.
Project activities producing ready-mixed 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 Credits generated from pre-cast and concrete blocks are validated by Bureau Veritas under Covalent’s Certificate Standard.
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 is vital in combating climate change by enabling organizations to offset their emissions through verified projects that reduce or remove CO2.
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.
