FAQ's about carbon credits
How to generate carbon credits with my heat pump? Heat pumps reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions released into the atmosphere. By replacing an inefficient heating and cooling system with a heat pump, homeowners can reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by up to 65%. This reduction in emissions can then be converted into carbon credits, which can then be sold on the carbon market. Additionally, homeowners can save up on their utility bills by switching to a heat pump.
How do I know if my heat pump /renovation project is eligible for carbon credits? Radical Zero is doing this for you and tells you how many carbon credits you can receive each year. Ask us we will provide an estimate of the potential carbon credits for free
Why do I need Radical Zero to receive carbon credits for my heat pump? 1) Because Radical Zero funds the project and only receive a percentage of the credits sales proceeds. It means no fees for you. 2) Carbon credits projects are complex and costly. You must first register your project in the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program. Each project needs to be registered and emission reductions have to be accurately calculated and documented. Radical Zero develops carbon credits projects for you.
What is it so difficult to develop carbon credits and why Radical Zero is focusing on it? Radical Zero is able to develop carbon credits in the most efficient way: either under Verra's standards or any other leading Registries. Individual Renovation Projects are be bundled together into a single, carbon credit project. Because Radical Zero is already bundling hundred of heat pumps and home renovation projects, your heat pump/renovation will benefit from our efficiency and scalability. Join us it is FREE.
Do Carbon credits markets really help with CO2 reductions? Carbon credits are often critized for encouraging businesses to delay real emissions reductions. While that may be true with large corporations/polluters, it is important to note that when used responsibly, carbon credits can be an effective tool for reducing emissions and helping to address climate change. Radical Zero is helping homeowners businesses/emitters to develop high integrity Carbon Credits .
How do you prove the additionality of heat pumps? To prove the additionality of a heat pump, it is important to calculate the estimated emissions that would have been generated without the heat pump being installed. The difference between the emissions with the heat pump and the emissions with the alternative energy source can then be used to determine the additionality of the heat pump's emission reduction. At Radical Zero we do this calculation for all heat pumps models and include additional emission reductions from a sustainable home renovations (insulation,...)
How long do I get Carbon Credits for? Is it a unique payment? We can develop the carbon credits on your behalf and renew them once a year for the duration of the crediting period (7 years with Verra, it can be renewed twice, = up to 21 years). As long a the emission reductions are happening and as long as the conditions of the contract with Radical Zero are fulfilled, carbon credits can be developed.
