The launch follows a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esgtoday.com\/climate-tech-bezero-carbon-raises-50-million-to-expand-carbon-credit-ratings-platform\/\">$50 million capital raise<\/a> announced late last year by the company to fund the development of its environmental markets-focused ratings, risk and analytics tools, and is the latest in a series of new products by the company, including its new Scorecard, announced last month to help buyers self-assess carbon risk with screening of early stage and live projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to BeZero, the new carbon credit portfolio construction tool utilizes a discounting methodology developed by the company, similar to that used in bond markets, that it uses to define a \u201crisk-adjusted tonne of CO2e.\u201d Risks assessed by the discounting methodology include both micro and macro factors, including country, sector, and methodology risks, and allowing for diversification when constructing a carbon credit portfolio to avoid over exposure to a single risk type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using this methodology, the tool enables users to examine their carbon credit portfolios and to calculate the number of credits of a given quality needed to make credible tonne-based carbon offset or reduction claims to support their net zero strategies, according to BeZero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sebastien Cross, co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer at BeZero Carbon said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThe voluntary carbon market continues to evolve rapidly and we\u2019re proud to be providing ongoing innovation to support this. Our end-to-end toolkit enables market participants to understand and manage risk from the inception of a project to the point its credits are retired. This tool specifically helps bridge the gap between the credits on offer in the market and the tonne-based claims buyers are seeking to make.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London-based carbon credit ratings startup BeZero Carbon announced today the launch of a new carbon credit portfolio construction tool, aimed at enabling carbon credit buyers to develop credible net zero strategies, and to understand risk across their carbon credit portfolios.
