Certification Status
Specific information about the certification of Carbon Xtract's carbon credits is not available. However, it is generally understood that third-party certification (such as through the Verified Carbon Standard, VCS) is important for the validity of carbon credits. This process would typically involve showing the effectiveness of CO₂ capture and adherence to approved methodologies by certification bodies like Verra.
