Carbon Credit Economics

Carbon Credits • ROI

Every Litre Saved Is Carbon Credit Potential

Burning less diesel for the same work means less CO₂ released into the atmosphere. DECARB lets you measure that reduction directly from your fuel logs — and turn it into verifiable carbon credits that can be sold on voluntary markets, on top of the fuel savings you already earn.

No solar panels, no new vehicles, no waiting for trees to grow. The impact starts with the first tank.

Understanding Carbon Credits

Two Markets, One Measurable Reduction

Compliance Credits

  • Mandatory under government-regulated emission systems
  • Examples: EU ETS, California Cap-and-Trade

Voluntary Credits

  • Purchased by organisations to meet ESG and net-zero goals
  • Traded in open markets such as Verra and Gold Standard
Renewable Energy

Wind and solar farms replacing fossil fuels.

Nature-Based Solutions

Forest conservation and reforestation.

Emission Capture

Landfill methane capture and sequestration.

How DECARB Generates Credits

A Simple, Auditable Process

Mix DECARB into your current fuel supply, then calculate the CO₂ reduction using the accepted emission factor for diesel — 2.68 kg of CO₂ per litre. Typical fuel savings are 10–15%.

Formula

Fuel Saved (litres) × 2.68 kg = CO₂ Avoided (kg)

  1. Baseline — record current fuel consumption from your logs.
  2. Dose — add DECARB at 1 ml per litre of fuel.
  3. Measure — compare consumption for the same work output.
  4. Certify — convert litres saved into tonnes of CO₂ avoided for credit registration.

Forest trees sequester roughly 3 tonnes of CO₂ per acre per year. The 2,680 tonnes avoided in the case study equals about 894 acres of mature forest working year-round.
