Transforming Sustainability

Aerobic composting of mixed food and green waste typically generates approximately 0.75 metric tons of carbon credits per ton of waste processed. In Alberta, facilities participating in regulated or voluntary markets can realize the following value ranges:

• Alberta TIER (compliance) market: $30 to $50 per ton CO₂e
   
• Voluntary carbon market: $5 to $15 per ton CO₂e
   

A composting facility processing 20,000 tons of organic waste annually can generate 15,000 carbon credits per year (20,000 × 0.75). This translates to potential annual revenue of:

• $450,000 to $750,000 under the TIER compliance market
   
• $75,000 to $225,000 under the voluntary carbon market
   

These figures highlight the significant carbon credit value that can be unlocked through properly documented and verified composting operations.

Carbon credits (also known as emission offset credits) are a powerful tool for reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. They allow organizations to offset their carbon footprint by supporting verified projects that actively reduce or remove emissions from the atmosphere.

How It Works

Many businesses and individuals are taking steps to reduce their emissions—but sometimes, internal changes alone aren’t enough to meet their climate goals. That’s where carbon markets come in.

By purchasing carbon credits, companies can compensate for their emissions by funding projects elsewhere that are making a measurable environmental impact.

The Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) is the world’s most widely used voluntary carbon offset program.

• Over 1,700+ certified projects 
• More than 877 million tonnes of emissions reduced or removed 

These projects undergo strict third-party validation and monitoring to ensure that every Verified Carbon Unit (VCU) represents one ton of real, permanent, and additional GHG reduction.

Why It Matters

Offsetting through credible programs like VCS:

• Channels funding into clean technologies and sustainable practices 
• Enables climate accountability 
• Offers a flexible path to net-zero goals
   

Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) is a generous federal tax incentive program that rewards Canadian businesses for pursuing innovation.

If your company is developing new processes, products, or technologies—with no guaranteed outcome—you may qualify for substantial tax credits. In fact, you could recover up to 33% of eligible R&D coststhrough SR&ED claims.

Is Your Work Eligible?

You might qualify if you’re:

• Testing new farming methods or materials 
• Building or refining prototypes 
• Tackling technical challenges with no clear solution 
• Advancing sustainable, environmentally conscious practices 

Why SR&ED Matters

Innovation can be costly—but SR&ED helps offset those expenses. Whether you’re a startup or an established company, this program makes R&D more accessible, helping you grow while reducing risk.
