Each project gets vetted and reviewed against our rigorous Criteria for High-Quality Carbon Dioxide Removal to maximize climate impact and minimize risks. Only 10% of projects reviewed pass our criteria. Once they pass through multiple reviews and get approval from Carbon Direct experts, our team creates Project Review documentation to clearly explain why we chose this project. Customers can review details on the Platform for each project in each portfolio.

Project review details include: 

• How the projects work

• Project location, with interactive maps

• Climate impacts - additionality and baseline, accounting, MRV, durability, leakage

• Harms and benefits - co-benefits, environmental justice, and more
