How Carbon Credits Work
Understanding the complete lifecycle from generation to retirement.
Project Development & Issuance
A climate project is developed and registered with a carbon registry. After verification, the registry issues verified carbon credits. Each credit represents 1 metric ton of CO2 equivalent avoided or reduced.
Trading & Market Activity
Carbon credits are traded on the voluntary carbon market. Sellers offer credits while buyers purchase them to meet net-zero commitments or earn trading revenue. Zerithal facilitates these transactions with real-time pricing and settlement.
Retirement & Impact Reporting
Corporate buyers retire credits to offset their emissions. Retirement is recorded on the registry, making each credit unusable. The buyer reports retired credits in ESG and compliance disclosures.
