Ton-for-Ton Method

This is a method for determining the scale of a BVCM pledge.

Using this method, a company would deliver mitigation beyond its value chain proportional to the climate impact of some percentage of the GHG emissions of that company in a defined period (e.g., in a given year or since a reference year).

The volume of finance deployed towards BVCM would be determined by the price that a company pays per tCO2e of BVCM (in the case of carbon credits, this would be determined by market prices) and the percentage of unabated emissions that are being “matched” with BVCM in that defined period.
