BeZero Rating
Independent risk assessment of carbon projects using satellite data and AI analysis. Provides ratings from AAA to D based on additionality, permanence, and overestimation risks.
Why bezero rating matters for carbon credit buyers
BeZero Carbon is one of the leading independent carbon ratings agencies. Its ratings run from AAA down to D and express the likelihood that a credit achieves a tonne of CO₂e avoidance or removal, factoring in additionality, permanence, leakage, and over-crediting risk. Because project documentation is written by the projects themselves, an independent rating is one of the few external quality signals buyers can rely on. Carbon Compared displays BeZero ratings for listed projects to registered users.
