Why project developers and buyers choose Isometric

01

Certified fast

Certify, Isometric's AI-powered certification platform, uses agents to review the evidence and check every data point, so certification keeps pace with production and procurement cycles.

02

Accurately quantified

Every certificate is backed by protocols developed by the largest Science Team of any certifier, quantifying emissions for each facility and production method.

03

Fully traceable

Isometric publishes the data and calculations behind every certificate on the public Registry. Anyone can check the evidence themselves.

Isometric is accredited by ICVCM, CORSIA, and ICROA, and has nine protocols approved to use the Core Carbon Principles label.

Materials protocols

Isometric certifies low-carbon materials for construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure. Book and claim separates the environmental attribute from the physical product, so a verified certificate can be sold and retired independently of where the material is produced or used.

How certification works

Every project follows the same path set out in the Isometric Standard, from eligibility to certificates on the public Registry.

  1. 01

    Eligibility check

    Isometric confirms the project meets the Standard and protocol requirements.

    Before you start
  2. 02

    Public comment

    The project's design is published so scientists, industry experts, and the public can comment on it.

    10 days by default
  3. 03

    Validation

    An independent verifier, chosen by Isometric, reviews the design and visits the site.

    Once per project
  4. 04

    Verification

    Certify and an independent verifier review the evidence behind every certificate.

    In days
  5. 05

    Issuance

    Certificates are issued on the public Registry, with the data behind them.

    On the Registry

Inside every verification

Certify, Isometric's AI-powered platform, works alongside independent verifiers to review every data point behind a claim, not just a sample, doing in hours what used to take months.

FAQs

What are low-carbon materials?

Low-carbon materials, like cement and steel, are made with far fewer emissions than conventional production. Steel and cement account for around 14% of global carbon emissions. The technologies to reduce them exist, but they need reliable revenue to scale.

What does Isometric certify for materials?

Isometric certifies low-carbon clinker, cement, and concrete under its Low Carbon Cement Protocol. A protocol for low-carbon steel is in development.

What does a materials certificate represent?
Each Isometric materials certificate, known as an Environmental Attribute Certificate (EAC), represents the low-carbon attribute of a verified unit of production, such as one tonne of low-carbon cement, separated from the material itself. Buyers can claim it toward their climate goals without taking delivery of the material.
How does book and claim work?
Low-carbon materials are rarely made near the buyers who want them. Book and claim separates the low-carbon attribute from the material, so the producer can sell the material locally and the attribute to a buyer anywhere.
How is an EAC different from a carbon removal certificate?

A carbon removal certificate represents one tonne of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere. An Environmental Attribute Certificate (EAC) represents the lower emissions of a certified low-carbon material, such as cement, compared with the conventional alternative. Unlike carbon removal certificates, EACs expire, so a claim can't be made long after the material was produced.

Who can claim an EAC?

Only the organization named when an EAC is retired can claim its environmental benefits. Owning an EAC is not enough on its own. Isometric also allows co-claiming, so more than one organization can be named on a single retirement, as long as their claims don't overlap.

If an EAC is sold separately, what can the buyer of the physical material claim?

Once an EAC is sold separately, the physical material is treated as conventional. The buyer of the material can't claim its lower emissions or describe it as low emission, unless they are also named when the EAC is retired.

How does Isometric use AI in certification?

Certify, Isometric's AI-powered platform, works alongside independent verifiers to review every data point behind a claim, not just a sample, doing in hours what used to take months. Its agents surface anything that needs attention, and the verifier makes every decision before a certificate is issued. Certify also includes Remi, an AI assistant that helps project developers prepare their submissions.

How do I get a project certified by Isometric?
Get in touch with the Isometric team, who will confirm which protocol applies and check your project's eligibility, then guide you through validation and your first verification in Certify. Get in touch.
Who backs Isometric?
Isometric has raised $75 million from investors including Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), which owns the New York Stock Exchange, as well as AVP, Lowercarbon Capital, Plural, and John Doerr.
