Frequently Asked Questions
How does the DEV Standard guarantee we avoid Greenwashing and legal risk?
DEV mandates the Ex-Post methodology, meaning you only purchase carbon tonnes that have been physically measured and verified after sequestration occurred. This eliminates the risk of buying phantom credits or relying on future projections. Furthermore, our Biocultural Mandate eliminates social risk, guaranteeing ethical project execution.
Where can we view the raw data for the carbon credits we purchase?
Full transparency is guaranteed. All critical project metadata and real-time tCO2 metrics are published on the RTD Ratings Open Data Platform (built on Blockchain). This ensures immutable traceability and allows your ESG auditors to access the raw data directly, eliminating third-party reporting friction.
Who verifies the data, and why should we trust the DEV Standard over established systems?
DEV's data is audited by WaveQuantum Earth, whose engineers, with experience including NASA missions, apply rigorous Systems Engineering principles (IEEE). Our structure ensures a strict separation of powers (Certifier, Auditor, Integrator). This audited governance system has been recognized by Standard & Poor's (S&P), validating our integrity structure to the financial markets.
We need specific volumes of credits to align with our Fiscal Year. Can Carbonless guarantee supply?
Yes. Our Turnkey Solution is designed to meet your precise volume needs, leveraging all 7 DEV Offset Types (OTs). We structure new projects or curate from our investment-ready portfolio to align with your corporation’s Fiscal Year Accounting requirements, ensuring a predictable supply for annual reporting.
How are we certain the financial benefits actually reach the local communities?
Our Project Integrators (PIs) operate under the strict Biocultural Mandate. This involves auditing the distribution of funds to the landowners and communities, ensuring compliance with our Fair Contract policy and guaranteeing that co-benefits (like job creation and food security) are delivered transparently on the ground.
We are in Europe/Asia. How does Carbonless manage the cross-border transaction and logistics?
Carbonless manages the entire pipeline. We use partners like Fidelitas Group to provide localized market access and financial infrastructure. We also offer specialized tax and financial advisory to handle the complexities of cross-border carbon asset transfers, ensuring compliance and efficiency for your international finance team.
