Registry detail

How IMPT routes credits across carbon registries

Which carbon registries IMPT sources credits from, and how the routing decision is made for each booking.

The 11-registry portfolio

• UCR (Universal Carbon Registry) — India-issued energy and biomass projects, primary inventory.
• UNFCCC CDM — UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Clean Development Mechanism.
• Verra / VCS — voluntary carbon standard.
• Gold Standard — premium voluntary registry.
• GCC — Global Carbon Council.
• ACR — American Carbon Registry.
• CAR — Climate Action Reserve.
• BioCarbon — bio-sequestration credits.
• Cercarbono — South American registry.
• Plan Vivo — community-based projects.
• Puro.earth — engineered removals.

How routing happens

Per booking, IMPT's inventory layer selects from the available staged credits. Most current bookings retire UCR India energy credits — the primary inventory. Larger or specifically-requested credits (e.g. Gold Standard for a corporate programme) route via Thallo to the appropriate registry.

Why this design

Multi-registry sourcing reduces single-registry dependency risk and lets IMPT match credit type to buyer preference. UCR-routed credits are typically more cost-effective per tonne, leaving more of IMPT's commission available for platform investment. Premium credits are available for buyers willing to pay the difference.
