How the Calculator Works
See how the estimate is built before you run the numbers.
This section mirrors the calculator experience: a clean overview, the formula logic, and a rotating step-by-step card sequence that explains how the estimate is formed.
Estimate Flow
Five connected steps build the estimate.
The calculator follows a clean path from project fit to indicative value. Each stage uses the output of the one before it, so the process stays readable and credible.
01
Industry
Sets the correct emissions logic
02
Production
Defines the yearly calculation base
03
Factor
Matches your sector benchmark
04
Credits
Projects annual carbon credit volume
05
Market Value
Turns volume into a value band
Calculator Logic
Carbon Credits = Production x Sector Factor
Input operational scale, apply the sector factor, and turn the outcome into an indicative annual carbon-credit and value snapshot.

Emission Factors Used
The indicative factors behind this calculator.
These reference factors are used to generate the high-level estimate for eligible industries. They are indicative only and do not replace methodology-level project review.
Aluminium Recycling
10 tCO2eIndicative factor used for recycled aluminium projects.
Copper Recycling
4 tCO2eIndicative factor used for recycled copper projects.
Lead Recycling / Lead Battery Recycling
1.5 tCO2eIndicative factor used for lead recovery and battery recycling.
Plastic Recycling
2.5 tCO2eIndicative factor used for avoided virgin plastic production.
Waste to Energy / Waste Management
1.0 tCO2eIndicative factor used for waste-management and waste-to-energy pathways.
Biomass Energy
0.8 tCO2eIndicative factor used for biomass-energy substitution pathways.
Production vs Carbon Credits

Structured project review
Your submission gives the team a clearer starting point for a detailed opportunity assessment.
Estimate context included
Industry, production, and calculator outputs can move with the lead for faster follow-up.
Verification-minded guidance
Indicative results are only the starting point; credible carbon value depends on project structure and evidence.
Calculator FAQs
Answers to the questions teams usually ask before relying on an indicative estimate.
These points explain what the calculator does, what it does not replace, and how to move toward a detailed review.
No. This calculator provides an indicative estimate based on industry factors. Final results depend on project methodology, data quality, verification, and carbon standard requirements.
