Absolute Climate was founded to set a new benchmark for carbon removal quality. We are an independent standard and methodology developer that makes sure every carbon removal credit represents real, defensible climate impact. We’ve separated the process of issuing fungible carbon credits from assuring their quality – and eliminated the conflicts of interest in the process. Carbon removal credits need rigorous, science-based methodologies, not fragmented standards and perverse incentives – and buyers and project developers alike agree on the need for clarity, trust, and accountability in carbon removal.
At Absolute Climate, our mission is simple yet transformative: we're making sure carbon removal project claims match climate outcomes. We believe that carbon credits must do more than look good on paper – they must contribute to meaningful, measurable progress in mitigating climate change. Our goal is to create a universal framework that brings consistency, transparency, and scientific rigor to the industry, giving every buyer confidence in the impact of their purchases and every project developer a clear path to demonstrating the true value of their climate impacts.
Our team is made up of carbon removal and MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) experts who have been at the forefront of advancing climate solutions. With backgrounds at Carbon180 and Climeworks, we bring together deep expertise in carbon science, policy, and boots-on-the-ground MRV. At Absolute Climate, our team is dedicated to building a foundation of trust and accountability that the industry needs to scale responsibly.
