Climes Credit Pricing: Evolving for Greater Impact

We are building Climes with the intent to make climate action accessible, impactful, and transparent. Our first and most widely distributed product, Climes Credit, simplifies the math behind carbon neutralization for brands and enterprises.

When we launched, 1 Clime was priced at Re. 1, which neutralises 1 kg CO2e by funding a high-quality climate project. So, if you were a brand looking to neutralise 5 kg CO2e with us, we'd give you 5 Climes Credits to fund the climate project (s) of your choice across the Global South.

At this price, we were able to finance carbon projects at a price ceiling of ~$12/tonne, which mostly included carbon avoidance projects like renewable energy, waste-to-energy, and clean cookstoves.

Over time, we raised the price to Rs. 2 per Clime which enabled us to finance projects at a ceiling of ~$17/tonne today. This includes a mix of carbon avoidance and removal projects like Regen agriculture, afforestation, reforestation, waste-to-energy, and more.

Looking ahead, we plan incremental price adjustments to support premium carbon projects like mangroves, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and enhanced rock weathering, targeting payouts of $85–$100/tonne.

From now on, all Climes sold in India will be priced at Rs. 2 or higher, as we onboard more high-quality, verified carbon projects across the Global South and beyond!

Why does this matter?

Firstly, we want to stay true to our commitment to transparency—ensuring that every Clime you purchase supports high-quality, traceable projects with measurable climate impact. Secondly, by adjusting our pricing, we unlock access to premium carbon projects that often remain underfunded, enabling impactful, verifiable, and enduring CO₂ removal.
