SILC ensures reliable carbon credits that meet global standards, supporting decarbonization and fairness.
The SILC (Sustainability & Impact Lifecycle Certification) framework is a next-generation certification system for carbon and biodiversity credits.
It ensures every credit issued is transparent, high-integrity, and aligned with global standards — from project planning through to long-term impact.
At the heart of SILC is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) — a method that tracks a project’s environmental and social performance across every stage. This means we don’t just check a box at the beginning — we continuously assess impact over time.
Together, SILC and LCA provide a full-lifecycle framework that:
Certified carbon credits (CFCs)
Compliant with ISO standards and integrated with leading Emissions Trading Systems (ETS): EU ETS, CITSS, RGGI. Supports Result-Based Climate Finance (RBCF) to encourage measurable climate outcomes
Interoperability & reporting
Integrates with global verification systems, including EPA e-GGRT, IPCC and GHG Working Group tools. Issues Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), 45Q-compliant CF certificates, and International Renewable Certificates (IRCs) and Weather Derivatives
Transparency & access
A robust digital ledger that tracks all CFC issuances, trades, and retirements. Registry participants are required to complete KYC verification and are encouraged to adhere to ICROA/IETA best practices
