Register a project
Credible Carbon supports new projects that comply with our registry rules. We only sell credits that have been shown to be Additional, Measurable and Permanent, and supported by Excellent Data. Not every CO₂-reducing activity qualifies, but we are on hand to help you understand the opportunities.
Every project must be AMPED
A
Additional
Beyond what law or business-as-usual would have delivered anyway
M
Measured
Quantified conservatively from real, auditable records
P
Permanent
Reductions and removals that hold, and that the project stands behind
ED
Excellent Data
The evidence that supports every claim — the hallmark of a Credible Carbon project
Registration process
- Submit a Project Idea Note (PIN) detailing operations and estimated carbon savings
- Enter into a Registration Agreement with the registry (exclusive access, initially 1 year)
- Abide by the Credible Carbon Registry Rules
- Pass periodic carbon audits by an independent auditor (at least every three years)
Transaction costs
Audit fee
~R 60 000 per audit
Transaction fee
10% of revenue
Legal fee (once-off, if required)
R 3 000
No upfront fees — all costs are deducted from credit sales revenue.
Audit process
Independent auditors assess:
- The project's existence and track record — we do not sell credits from planned projects
- The functioning of the technology or programme responsible for mitigation
- The plausibility of carbon saving estimates, grounded in recognised norms
- A discernible impact on poverty
