The Methane Offset Calculator

The methane calculator determines the quantity of SPC (semi-persistent carbon pool of soil-applied biochar) required to offset a specific methane emission or, conversely, the amount of methane that can be offset by a given amount of SPC. By applying the Total Climate Effect (TCE) framework, the calculator ensures a scientifically robust balance between the atmospheric decay of methane and the carbon sink properties of the semi-persistent carbon pool.

CINK Calculator

The CINK calculator quantifies the carbon-sink value of soil-applied biochar, splitting it into its persistent and semi-persistent pools to compute CINK_H over any time horizon. Carbon Standards uses the CINK units to value C-sinks and the Total Climate Effect (TCE) to value the climate cooling of temporary ones.

Lifetime Footprint Tool

Every tonne of CO₂ you have ever emitted is still partly warming the atmosphere today. The Footprint Calculator estimates your accumulated lifetime emissions based on country-specific data and individual parameters - not to guilt-trip, but to quantify: how large is the warming effect you are responsible for right now, and what would it take to counterbalance it with verified carbon sinks?
