Credit routing engine

From kilowatt-hour to traded credit, end to end

Pick a project, a standard, a verifier, and a buyer channel. The engine returns the annual credit revenue, fees, and the issuance pathway the project would actually walk through to be sold.

Saudi carbon market context

How Saudi-issued credits clear the market

Saudi Arabia hosts both the regulatory framework for domestic carbon credit issuance (GCOM Designated National Authority) and a regional voluntary market venue (RVCMC). Projects route through the Credit Routing engine above to either domestic compliance use, regional VCM exchange, international corporate offtake, or government-to-government Article 6 transfers.

Data sources and methodology

Saudi Renewables Inventory, v2026-Q3

Renewable Vision compilation v7: KAPSARC Renewable Energy Projects Dashboard (July 2026 data, snapshot 12 September 2026), cross-checked against the SPPC / Principal Buyer renewable project register (11 September 2026) and developer disclosures; five dedicated off-grid systems carried from company announcements.

Credit methodology

Net electricity supplied to or displacing the grid × baseline grid emission factor of 0.568 tCO₂ / MWh (Saudi 2024 average, KFUPM). Indicative ex-ante only; sellable credits require approved methodology, MRV, validation, verification, registration, and issuance.

GCOM SA-DNA M2 method

Disclaimers

Indicative, screening-grade. Credits require approved methodology, MRV, validation, verification, registration, and issuance under Saudi GCOM or an eligible VCM standard.
