Climate Claim Quality Defined Independently

Absolute Climate develops rigorous, industry-leading standards for climate technologies that ensure every claim reflects real, measurable impacts on the atmosphere.

Featured In

Carbon markets require trust, and trust requires quality assurance.

Projects in today's carbon markets vary widely in quality, standards are fragmented, registries face numerous conflicts of interest, and overcrediting is rampant.

When markets favor quantity over quality, climate outcomes get compromised. To address these issues and build better carbon markets, Absolute Climate employs a new approach rooted in quality assurance.

What We Offer

Based on a universal standard for consistently measuring climate impacts, Absolute Climate develops emissions quantification methodologies for negative-emissions processes and low-carbon products that support issuance of negative-emissions certificates and environmental attribute certificates.

Creates Clarity

Buyers can match credit purchases to specific mitigation claims

icon
Reduce Risk

Removes substantially more risk than just relying on registries

icon
Reward High-Quality

Rewards producers and buyers of high-quality credits by clearly differentiating them from credits with less certainty

icon
Build Trust

Credits are more likely to be issued accurately and stand up to external scrutiny

Negative-Emissions Certificates (NECs)

NECs are carbon credits/offsets representing durable, net, atmospheric carbon dioxide removal. They are certified against our methodologies and issued through our registry partners for use in voluntary and compliance markets.

For: direct air capture and storage, biomass carbon removal and storage, enhanced mineralization, and marine carbon dioxide removal.

Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs)

EACs are certificates representing the production and corresponding emissions intensities of low-carbon commodities. They can be decoupled from physical supply chains and sold to willing buyers for use in book and claim and other chain of custody systems to unlock capital for low-carbon projects.

For: power, cement/concrete, iron/steel, other metals, chemicals, fuels, and fertilizer.
FOR SUPPLIERS

Make your climate impact count.

Whether you're removing carbon from the atmosphere or producing low-carbon products, Absolute Climate can help you prove your project's impact in a way that differentiates your claims, elevates your reputation, and builds enduring trust with your customers.

Differentiate your climate impact

In a fragmented and complex market, it can be hard to successfully communicate your project’s advantages. Our independent, science-backed standard quantifies your impact so that quality is clear, certified, and easy to communicate to buyers, investors, and policymakers.

Streamline your path to market 

We translate complex monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) requirements into clear, actionable guidance with document templates, digital tools, and straightforward processes to reduce compliance friction and help your project come online faster.

Unlock new demand

Our environmental attribute certificates can decouple the climate benefit from the sale of physical products. This allows buyers who can’t yet source your low-carbon product directly to still be able to invest in it, enabling demand and price signals to support clean industries while we wait for physical supply chains to catch up.

Build lasting trust

Partnering with Absolute Climate gives you a trusted, independent mark of quality that resonates with buyers looking for transparency, durable claims, and long-term credibility.

For Buyers

Derisk your climate purchases.

From carbon removal credits to environmental attribute certificates, Absolute Climate gives you objective, science-based assurance that what you’re paying for is what you’re getting. We can connect you with projects we are certifying or conduct quality assurance on projects you are interested in buying from.

Purchase with confidence 

Absolute Climate’s independent, science-based standard and methodologies provide clear, consistent, and objective evaluation of the climate impacts of different instruments, allowing you to make more informed and confident purchasing decisions.

Mitigate risks of greenwashing and litigation 

Our transparent, rigorous certification process ensures that every credit reflects real, measurable climate outcomes to help you mitigate risks and protect your organization’s reputation from greenwashing accusations and legal risks.

Support high-integrity low-carbon products

Buying low-carbon products directly or via book and claim systems only helps your actual footprint if the underlying emissions intensity is real. Our environmental attribute certificates verify exactly that so that your supply chain and market-based claims are defensible.

Lead with transparency and integrity 

Universally applied and scientifically rigorous standards allow you to clearly demonstrate the integrity of your decarbonization spending to customers, investors, and, regulators.
