What is this Rating?

Rating agencies are independent, third-party organizations that use a combination of technical, policy, and regulatory expertise to evaluate the quality of a carbon project. Their ratings (or grades) indicate their level of confidence that a particular project meets high standards for durability, additionality, and verifiability, among other important project attributes and risks. Overall, a high rating indicates that the project is very likely to achieve its carbon reductions.

An ‘A’ rating means BeZero believes there is high likelihood that a given credit achieves one metric ton of CO2e removed or avoided. BeZero rates offset projects on a single scale: AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, B, C, D
