Your scenario

Example inputs are editable. Tonnes are metric tCO₂e. All prices are your assumptions in US dollars.

1. Starting annual emissions
2. Reduction pathway
3. Separate contribution budget

Prices are illustrative inputs, not quotes. No credits are selected or purchased.

Project funding is separate from inventory reductions. This is not a carbon-neutral or net-zero claim.

Method, boundaries & limitations

Simple mathematics. Explicit limits.

How the model works

Baseline B = Scope 1 + Scope 2 + Scope 3. At the end of year y, E(y) = B × (1 − r)y, where r is the annual reduction fraction. The first reduction applies in year 1.

Cumulative emissions sum E(1) through E(n). Cumulative reduction compares that sum with B × n. Final-year contribution volume V = E(n) × the selected volume share.

Budget = V × [removal share × removal price + (1 − removal share) × other credit price]. The budget covers one final-year contribution, not the entire horizon.

What the model does not establish

No growth, changing boundaries, scope-specific pathways, inflation, delivery risk, fees or taxes are modelled. “Other credits” is a budget category, not a quality classification. Projects need separate due diligence.

The results are scenario arithmetic and do not establish target alignment, emissions verification, regulatory eligibility or the validity of any environmental claim.
