Carbon project development & feasibility

Turn recovered materials into verified carbon credits.

Action Offset helps recyclers and resource-recovery operators discover whether their process can generate carbon credits — then develops, registers and verifies the project end-to-end. Independent and methodology-led. No broking, no platforms.

Start with a fixed-fee feasibility assessment — know if it's viable before you commit a cent to development.

What we do

Three ways to work together

Start with a low-commitment feasibility check; develop the projects that pass. A separate service helps suppliers answer customer emissions-data requests.

Start here
01

Feasibility / Go-No-Go

A fixed-fee assessment of whether your operation can generate credits: the right standard and methodology for your activity, eligibility, additionality and regulatory red flags, indicative yield, and a clear Green / Amber / Red verdict — before you commit to a full project.

Fixed fee · ~2–3 week turnaround
02

Project development

Full development of viable projects — design, validation, verification and issuance — under whichever standard fits (Verra, Gold Standard, ACCU and others). You own the project; our fee is fixed milestones plus a success share of the credits issued, so we're paid as credits are.

Milestone + success fee
03

Scope 3 / VSME readiness

Being asked for emissions data by a larger customer? A fixed-fee starter inventory and hotspot report to respond via the VSME framework — without an open-ended retainer.

Fixed fee
Process

From "could this work?" to credits in hand

A staged path — with a paid checkpoint before you spend on development.

1

Feasibility check

A fixed-fee Go/No-Go: standard and methodology fit, eligibility, additionality and regulatory risk, indicative yield, and a Green/Amber/Red verdict.

2

Development & validation

Viable projects are designed, submitted and taken through validation and registration with the chosen standard.

3

Verification & issuance

Monitoring, verification and first issuance of credits — which you own and can sell or retire.

Why Action Offset

A specialist developer, not a marketplace

Hands-on project development for operators who recover value from materials and resources.

📑

Methodology-led

Matched to the right standard and method for your activity — most recently developing an e-waste recovery project in Australia under Verra (VMR0008 + AMS-III.BA). The methodology follows the project, not the other way round.

⚖️

Honest about additionality

Under the 2024 rules, many projects don't qualify. A paid feasibility check tells you the truth up front — so you only invest in development when it's genuinely viable.

🤝

End-to-end & accountable

One point of contact from feasibility through registration, validation and verification to first issuance.

Most carbon projects fail on additionality, not ambition. We'll tell you which side of the line you're on — before you spend.

Standards & methodologies

Whatever standard fits your project

We're not tied to one registry or method. We assess your activity and recommend the route most likely to certify — voluntary or compliance.

Voluntary markets

Verra VCS, Gold Standard and equivalent registries — for organisations seeking high-quality, credibly-labelled credits.

Australian & compliance schemes

ACCU and related frameworks assessed on their merits for your activity.

The right methodology

Chosen to fit what you actually do — recovered-material and e-waste methods (e.g. VMR0008 + AMS-III.BA) are a current specialism, not a limit.

FAQ

Common questions

What does the feasibility assessment include?

The most likely certification route and methodology for your activity, which parts of your operation are eligible, additionality and prior-consideration red flags, regulatory-overlap checks, an indicative credit-yield range, the evidence you'd need, and a clear Green / Amber / Red verdict.

Which standards and methodologies do you work with?

Whatever fits the project — Verra VCS, Gold Standard, ACCU and others. We assess your activity first and recommend the route most likely to certify. Recovered-material / e-waste methods are a current specialism from live work, not the only thing we do.

Do you buy or sell carbon credits?

No — we're a developer, not a broker or trader. We don't buy or resell third-party credits. On development projects our fee is fixed milestones plus a success share of the credits issued, so we're paid only as your project delivers.

Why pay for feasibility first?

Full development is expensive, and under the 2024 additionality rules many projects don't qualify. A fixed-fee assessment means you find out before committing to validation and development costs.
