Reduced project screening time by 50% or more through precise filtering and benchmarking
Enhanced knowledge building and knowledge sharing across the team
Improved scalability by reducing reliance on individual expertise
Takayuki Kageyama Co-CEO Carbon EX IncAs a platform provider, we focus our efforts on ensuring the integrity of carbon credits. As part of our review processes, we've been using BeZero’s Project Fundamentals. With its filters and data export feature, we've managed to cut our review time in half and significantly improve the efficiency of our early-stage screening.
As carbon markets mature, platforms like Carbon EX are playing a critical role in supplying companies with high-quality emissions reduction opportunities. CarbonEX is a marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of carbon credits and renewable energy certificates. A key responsibility is ensuring clients access credits that meet their needs across quality standards, pricing, and regional fit. But evaluating credit integrity has long been a bottleneck. The process often involves combing through dense project documents to extract key metrics. Manual reviews using tools like Google Sheets were time-consuming, difficult to delegate, and carried the risk of missing critical details, limiting both efficiency and scalability. To improve the speed and consistency of carbon project assessments, Carbon EX needed access to analysis-ready datasets.
Carbon EX uses BeZero’s Project Fundamentals primarily for filtering and benchmarking carbon projects. The platform feature allows its team to screen projects based on specific data points, such as the fraction of non-renewable biomass (fNRB) for cookstove projects, enabling quick identification of projects that meet internal criteria. With the ability to export datasets, their team can carry out offline reviews and integrate key project data directly into internal frameworks, supporting a more structured, criteria-driven review process. Project Fundamentals also supports collaboration by making it easier to share knowledge and involve colleagues without deep technical or risk expertise.
BeZero’s Project Fundamentals have become a key part of Carbon EX’s early-stage project screening process. What once took up to an hour per project can now be completed in half the time or less, thanks to precise filtering tools and digitised access to critical indicators. This not only accelerates the review process but also enables wider team involvement: colleagues can apply thresholds aligned with internal benchmarks or frameworks like the ICVCM’s Core Carbon Principles, and independently carry out initial due diligence. By exporting datasets for offline analysis and integrating them into internal systems, teams can work more autonomously and consistently. The intuitive design of BeZero’s platform makes it easier to onboard new team members, reducing reliance on a single expert and enhancing institutional knowledge-sharing. Continuous feature improvements further reinforce trust in the platform as a core tool for faster and better due diligence.
