Environmental attribute certificates

In-value-chain reductions through Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs)

Where a lower-carbon input exists but you can't buy it physically, an EACs lets you fund it and claim the reduction across your value chain. ClimeFi support the procurement and management of those certificates with the same diligence discipline as the rest of your portfolio.
The opportunity

Decarbonise emissions you can't reach physically

An environmental attribute certificate decouples the environmental benefit of a lower-carbon commodity such as sustainable fuels, or low-carbon materials like steel or cement from its physical delivery. Book-and-claim systems let you support production anywhere in your value chain and claim the reduction where the emission sits in your inventory.

For most companies this is the largest untapped lever: Scope 2 and upstream Scope 3 emissions that no operational change can reach, addressed through instruments recognised by the GHG Protocol and sector-specific SBTi guidance.

The new bar

Value-chain interventions, procured to the highest standard

We help you fund the green premium of decarbonisation projects in hard-to-abate sectors in exchange for the resulting environmental attributes .

Unique right to claim

Sole claim to the emissions outcome within your value-chain layer, contractually secured — no double counting.

Regulatory surplus

Reductions beyond what regulation already requires, so the claim represents real additional action.

Functional-unit EACs

Certificates denominated per unit of product — tCO2e per tonne of steel or cement — verified against product carbon footprints and EPDs.

Assurance and registries

Third-party assurance and registry-based chain of custody, aligned with leading registries and book-and-claim frameworks.

Offtake structuring

Multi-year forward agreements on payment-upon-delivery terms, with credible scale-up plans behind every project.

Our approach

One diligence discipline across every certificate

Value-chain scoping

We map where in your value chain certificate markets exist and quantify your decarbonisation opportunity.

Quality screening

Vintage, geography and technology matching, with double-claim and chain-of-custody controls per registry.

Market-by-market sourcing

Price discovery and procurement in the markets where you consume, matched to your reporting standards.

Audit-ready evidence

Registry transfer, cancellation and an evidence pack for assurance, managed in the ClimeFi platform.

Standards & Criteria

Built on market-leading standards

The same four criteria apply to every certificate we procure, across every scheme and market.
