Carbon Credit Rechner — Formel

How to Calculate Carbon Credit Value

Carbon credits represent verified emission reductions that can be sold on voluntary or compliance markets.

Formula

Gross Value = Credits (tons) * Price per Credit

Net Revenue = Gross Value - Broker Fee - Verification Cost

Market Prices

  • Voluntary market: $5-50/ton
  • EU ETS allowances: $55-80/ton
  • RGGI (US): $12-15/ton

    • Lösungsbeispiel

    A project generates 500 credits at $30 each, with $5,000 verification and 10% broker fee.

    1. Gross value: 500 * $30 = $15,000
    2. Broker fee: $15,000 * 10% = $1,500
    3. Total costs: $1,500 + $5,000 = $6,500
    4. Net revenue: $15,000 - $6,500 = $8,500
    5. Net per credit: $8,500 / 500 = $17.00/ton
