Environmental accounting systems allow credit users and credit producers to come together to track and trade credits.

Credit users select a project site, calculate potential credits, verify actual environmental achievement through restoration efforts, and register and issue credits generated.

Credit producers determine credits needed and preferred procurement strategy for obtaining credits.

Supporting Tools

Through an accessible registry platform, credit users and credit producers are able to track and transfer credits to achieve environmental goals.

Existing tools can support a wide range of ecosystem service accounting, from the provision of clean air and water to community flood and fire protection.
