We carefully source carbon projects to maximize credibility & minimize risk

Each project is carefully selected and analyzed by our team of experts through a rigorous evaluation process. All the projects in the ClimateSeed portfolio have successfully passed the following three-level process:
Process EN

Initial quality screening of certified projects

We identify potential carbon projects based on environmental and social KPIs, along with factors such as project typologies, methodologies, and geographic locations. All candidate projects are certified by recognized international or national standards and independently audited by a third party.

Banking due-diligence & reputational analysis for all project carriers

Our banking due-diligence covers anti-money laundering assessment, anti-terrorism, and reputational analysis. This process involves a thorough review of global sanctions, embargoes, and watchlists. Project developers provide detailed documentation, including organizational structure, articles of incorporation, and financial records, to ensure full transparency and compliance.

Project evaluation  framework review

We apply a project evaluation framework developed by our experts to assess climate impact, social and environmental impacts, and reputational risks. Project claims are carefully reviewed and challenged, with only the highest-quality projects added to ClimateSeed’s portfolio and continuously monitored.

Q&A

 

What is a carbon credit?
A carbon credit is a unit of measurement that represents one metric ton of CO₂ (tCO₂e) or the equivalent of another greenhouse gas (GHG) that has either not been emitted into the atmosphere or has been permanently captured and stored. This unit accounts not only for CO₂ but also for other greenhouse gases, which are converted into an equivalent amount of CO₂ based on their Global Warming Potential (GWP). For example, one ton of methane, with a GWP of 28, is equivalent to 28 tons of CO₂, demonstrating how different gases are factored into the calculation of carbon credits.

For more details, read our dedicated article
Why are high-integrity carbon credits essential for driving real and lasting climate impact?

For a carbon credit to generate real change, it must meet strict criteria that guarantee credibility and measurable impact:

  • Verification: Certified by independent bodies to ensure real CO2 reductions.
  • Permanence: Reductions are durable and protected from reversal.
  • Additionality: Projects prove they wouldn’t exist without carbon credit funding.
  • Transparency: Traceable data builds stakeholder trust.

Through a rigorous selection of projects, some specialised organisations ensure that every contribution generates a tangible and credible impact, aligned with the highest industry standards. Contact us for more details. 

What is the difference between ex-ante and ex-post carbon credits?

Carbon credits are issued based on when emission reductions occur : either in the past or the future:

- Ex-post credits: These retrospective credits represent emission reductions that have already been achieved and verified.

- Ex-ante credits: These forward-looking credits, represent anticipated emission reductions that have yet to happen. Often used in projects like reforestation, they provide value in financing future emission reductions in long-term initiatives. 

At ClimateSeed, we specialize in helping organizations build carbon credit portfolios that align with their climate strategies. Contact us for more details. 

Which should you choose as a contributor between ex-ante and ex-post carbon credits?

Both types of carbon credits play essential roles in mitigating climate change:

Ex-post credits provide verified, measurable reductions, guaranteeing that your contribution has an immediate and positive impact. The vintage year adds transparency by indicating exactly when the environmental benefit occurred. 

Ex-ante credits are crucial for funding early-stage or ongoing carbon projects with high potential. By investing in these credits, you help scale solutions critical for long-term sustainability.

At ClimateSeed, we specialize in helping organizations build carbon credit portfolios that align with their climate strategies.

What are the main standards that certify carbon removal and avoidance projects?
The main standards that certify carbon removal and avoidance projects include globally recognized frameworks such as Verra's Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), Gold Standard, and the American Carbon Registry (ACR). These standards ensure that projects meet strict criteria for additionality, permanence, and environmental integrity. They verify that the projects contribute to real, measurable, and long-term climate benefits.
What is the difference between carbon removal and avoidance projects?

Carbon reduction projects can be grouped into two main categories: carbon removal and carbon avoidance projects.

Carbon removal is the elimination of existing carbon emissions, by absorption, after they have entered the atmosphere. Carbon removal projects can take place in two ways, either with the use of technology or done naturally. Examples include; enhanced rock weathering, biochar, agricultural land management, and blue carbon projects. 

Carbon avoidance is the prevention of future carbon emissions being released into the atmosphere. Some examples include, renewable energy, household and community devices, such as cookstoves or biogas, and waste management.

They both can generate carbon credits and are equally important in the fight against climate change. For more information, read our dedicated article.

What is the difference between the Voluntary Carbon Market and the Regulated Carbon Market?

The key distinctions between the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) and the Regulated Carbon Market lie in their frameworks and participation. The VCM is voluntary, allowing companies and individuals to buy carbon credits to finance carbon removal and avoidance projects beyond legal requirements. The Regulated Carbon Market, on the other hand, is government-mandated, requiring companies to comply with emissions caps by purchasing allowances or credits under schemes like the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). The VCM offers flexibility and broader project options, while the Regulated Market is more strictly controlled and enforced. For more information, read our dedicated article.
