Independent by design

The Decarbonization Toolkit is built by the team behind Sylvera’s carbon credit Ratings and EAC assessments. Answers are independent, following the rules of each standard, Sylvera engages directly with standard setters, including SBTi, and tracks how each standard changes. We update the toolkit as the rules move, and every answer shows when it was last reviewed.

FAQ

Is the Decarbonisation Toolkit free?

Yes, it’s free with a Sylvera account. Sign up to see prices, standards coverage, and answers to common buyer questions in the Sylvera platform.

Which standards does it cover?

SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2, the GHG Protocol, and AIM. For each instrument, the toolkit shows what each standard allows and where they disagree.

Which instruments are included?

Carbon credits, certificates, and lower-carbon commodities across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. That includes low-carbon fuels such as biomethane, renewable electricity certificates such as RECs and GOs, SAF certificates, lower-carbon cement and steel, and reduction and removal credits.

How is it kept up to date?

Every answer shows when it was last reviewed. SBTi V2 takes effect on 1 February 2027 and further guidance is expected, so we update the toolkit as the standards move.

I’m ready to buy. What next?

Use Market Gateway, which is also free. Submit one request with your requirements, such as vintage, certification scheme, or chain of custody, and compare offers side by side, with no access or transaction fees.
