How to get carbon credits for CBG
A practical walkthrough of what it takes to earn verified carbon credits from biogas plants — and where digital evidence makes or breaks the process.
The process
How the credit process flows for cbg
01
Onboard feedstock suppliers
Register farmers and aggregators supplying biomass, with duplicate detection at enrolment.
02
Log every delivery
Supplier, biomass type, weight and source village recorded at the plant gate with photo evidence.
03
Track plant operations daily
Structured digester operation logs replace the spreadsheet reconciliation that usually breaks down.
04
Reconcile and export
Production, dispatch and feedstock intake tie out in one report a verifier can follow line by line.
This is the same field-to-credit flow every methodology follows — see it explained in general terms on our impact page.
Why cbg credits get delayed or discounted
Almost every delay traces back to one of these four evidence gaps.
Feedstock arrives from hundreds of farmers with no consistent records
Plant logs live in spreadsheets that don't reconcile
Metering data disconnected from the credit calculation
Dual incentives (credits + subsidies) demand airtight documentation
CBG carbon credits — FAQs
Can TrueCarbon track feedstock from smallholder farmers to the CBG plant?
Yes. Farmers are registered as participants with duplicate detection, and every feedstock delivery is logged against a registered supplier with location and photo evidence.
Does the platform integrate with plant metering systems?
Metered readings can be logged through structured events today; direct meter/SCADA integration is on the roadmap. Talk to us about your plant's setup.
