Our Methodology

Our methodology is designed to accelerate the 'Sunset' of high-carbon materials. Just as the UK's Carbon Price Support drove coal off the grid by making it financially unviable, the NEEDC framework uses carbon finance to drive for example 100% Portland Cement out of the structural supply chain. We are not just selling offsets; we are funding the transition to a New World where 'High-Carbon Baseline' materials no longer exist.
