BeZero Carbon rates individual carbon credits on a standardized scale to help buyers assess quality risk across forestry, renewable energy, and other offset project types.
BeZero Carbon is a carbon credit rating agency founded in 2020 in London that has raised $50M to create the first independent credit rating framework specifically designed for voluntary carbon offsets. The company rates individual carbon credits from certified projects including REDD+ forest protection, reforestation, renewable energy, and cookstove projects on a scale from BBB to AAA based on their likelihood of delivering the claimed carbon dioxide equivalent reductions. BeZero's analysts combine satellite monitoring, fieldwork, and quantitative modeling to assess project quality and permanence risk beyond what third-party certification standards alone provide. The company serves banks, trading firms, corporate buyers, and asset managers who need independent risk assessment to price carbon credits accurately and make portfolio decisions. As carbon markets have grown and quality scandals have emerged, financial market participants have demanded the same independent rating infrastructure that exists for other asset classes. BeZero competes with Sylvera and Calyx Global in the carbon rating market while targeting the financial institution segment with products designed for credit analysis and trading.
