SILC: Sustainability & Impact Lifecycle Certification Framework
FLFCO: Prolific-fund carbon registry system
SILC ensures reliable carbon credits that meet global standards, supporting decarbonization and fairness.
The N50 Carbon Registry operates a next-generation, standards-aligned platform for managing high-integrity carbon credits through the SILC framework. This system supports both compliance and voluntary carbon markets, issuing Carbon Funding Commitments (CFCs) that represent one tonne of verified CO₂e reductions or removals. CFCs are issued under ISO 14064-2/3 standards and align with the Paris Agreement, ensuring global legitimacy and interoperability.

What is SILC?

What is SILC?
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:

Applies or creates a modality and scientific methodology specific and bespoke to each project.
