What are Carbon Credits?
Carbon credits represent one tonne of CO₂e reduced or removed from the atmosphere. They are issued by standards such as Verra and Gold Standard and traded in voluntary and compliance markets.

However, carbon credits vary materially in quality.

Differences in additionality, permanence, leakage risk, methodology robustness and monitoring create significant variance in environmental integrity and financial risk.

Not all credits deliver the same climate outcome.
Types of Carbon Credits
Avoidance Credits
Prevent emissions that would otherwise occur
Examples: REDD+, cookstoves, renewable energy
Typically lower cost, higher delivery and baseline risk
Removal Credits
Physically remove COâ‚‚ from the atmosphere
Examples: afforestation, biochar, direct air capture
Higher durability, different technology and permanence risks
Each category carries different risk, pricing and durability characteristics. Sylvera provides independent ratings and analytics across both.
The problem with unrated credits
Without independent assessment:
Over-crediting risk may go undetected
Methodology assumptions are not stress-tested
Delivery risk is mispriced
Portfolio exposure is unclear
Counterparty diligence is incomplete
Lack of buyer and investor confidence
For procurement teams and investors, this creates financial, reputational and regulatory risk. For developers, it's difficult to secure project finance at premium price.
