High-quality carbon credits start before a project is developed and credits are issued. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Calyx Compass. Our new early-stage decision tool helps investors, corporate offtakers and developers maximize the impact of their projects. They can quickly screen, prioritize and de-risk methodologies and project types. We’re launching with six project types and quickly adding more based upon customer requests.

Here’s how it helps:

  • Increase the impact and decrease risk: Compass is based on the in-depth, unbiased analysis of over 1,000 GHG ratings, driven by experts, not algorithms. Zero in on the top risks for projects with insights from our experts who have deep knowledge of carbon project design, implementation, methodologies and more.
  • Meet the expectations of the market: Understand the most rigorous rater’s approach and how to generate high-quality climate benefit claims.
  • Increase ROI, faster: You can get the info you need to make decisions in minutes rather than months of engaging consultants, at less cost and high return on investment.
  • Give buyers confidence: Demonstrate you’ve applied Calyx Global’s independent expert guidance on integrity design and documentation, increasing buyer trust in your credits.

Calyx Compass in action: Identify and prioritize what to assess when considering a project
“Understanding structural risks is a starting point for our projects. If someone came to me with an AR project based in Argentina, I would use Compass to know what items to focus on in order to understand any potential integrity issues.”

- Large corporate investor

Calyx Global has already been supporting some of the most quality-conscious investors in the market, including Meta, Microsoft, Volkswagen ClimatePartner and Frontier, with their early-stage assessments. Now, we’re excited to package our rigorous research and make it available to all.

Calyx Compass is launching with project types including: 

  • Afforestation/reforestation
  • Agricultural land management
  • Biochar
  • Household biodigesters
  • Improved forest management
  • Manure management

This summer, we will be adding: Orphaned well plugging, landfill gas, cookstoves and ozone depleting substances. Additional project types are being added as customers request them.

If you’re investing in or developing carbon projects, you want to maximize return to the climate, communities and your bottom line, while minimizing risk. Every choice, from the methodology to how it is implemented, counts. Calyx Compass is here to make that process easier.
