    How Carbon Compared Works

    We help businesses and individuals evaluate, compare, and invest in high-quality carbon removal projects.

    Our Process

    Carbon Compared provides a standardised approach to evaluate and compare carbon removal projects.

    1. Project Verification

    We carefully verify all carbon removal projects, ensuring they meet our standards for permanence, additionality, and verification.

    2. Standardised Metrics

    We analyse each project using consistent metrics including cost per ton of CO₂, storage duration, removal method, and co-benefits.

    3. Transparent Results

    Access detailed comparisons and analysis to make informed decisions about which carbon removal projects align with your goals and values.

    Compare Carbon Removal Projects Side-by-Side

    Our interactive comparison tool lets you evaluate verified carbon removal projects across multiple dimensions to find the perfect match for your net-zero sustainability goals.

    Multiple Quality Metrics

    Compare cost per tonne CO2, permanence duration, BeZero integrity ratings, additionality, and global location all in one comprehensive view.

    BeZero Verified Quality

    All carbon removal projects undergo rigorous BeZero verification to ensure high integrity, permanence, and real climate impact for your net-zero goals.

    Global Carbon Markets

    Carbon removal projects from around the world, spanning direct air capture, biochar, enhanced weathering, and nature-based solutions.

    SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard. Version 2.0. What's New?

    Jul 11, 2026

    The newly published Version 2.0 of the Corporate Net-Zero Standard from SBTi makes carbon removals a scheduled obligation for the first time. From 2035, large companies must support removals covering at least 1% of their ongoing scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, rising to 100% of residual emissions by their net-zero year.

    Purchasing Carbon Credits: A Strategic Guide

    Aug 29, 2025

    Navigating the voluntary carbon market to purchase carbon credits for your organisation requires a strategic and informed approach. Carbon credits, when used responsibly and chosen carefully, can be a valuable tool to address residual emissions and contribute to global climate goals. However, the market is complex, with varying quality and impact among projects. This guide outlines key factors to consider when choosing which carbon credits to buy, ensuring your investments are effective, credible, and aligned with your broader sustainability objectives.

    Carbon Glossary

    Key Terms

    Common terminology in carbon removal

    • Additionality

      The principle that carbon removal or emissions reductions would not have occurred without the incentive of carbon finance. Essential for ensuring carbon credits represent real climate benefits.

    • Afforestation and Reforestation

      Afforestation plants trees on land that has not carried forest in recent history; reforestation restores tree cover on land that was forested and has since been cleared. Both remove CO₂ from the atmosphere as the trees grow.

    • Article 6 (Paris Agreement)

      The section of the Paris Agreement governing how countries cooperate on emissions reductions, including transferring them internationally. It sets the rules for authorisation, corresponding adjustments, and a UN supervised crediting mechanism.

    • Baseline

      The reference scenario describing what emissions or carbon storage would have been without the project. Credits are issued for the difference between the baseline and what the project actually achieved.
