The non-profit organisation CarbonFix provides project developers credible criteria to certify the quality of their climate forestation projects together with the quantification of their carbon credits.

Independent third party evaluations have judged the CarbonFix Standard as best standard for the voluntary carbon market.

Although, the criteria of the standard are structured in an easy and understandable way, some project developers might need further assistance. Therefore, different professional consultancies offer their support. Some of them also provide the possibility of financial investment.

The initial certification costs are largely dependent on the scale, complexity, and location of the projects, as well as the certification company. In average the price for the initial certification is about € 15 000 (US$ 20 000). Further certification rounds cost around € 8 000 (US$ 10 000).

	Prepare your project documentation with the foreseen templates. In case of questions contact the chairman of technical board.
	Create an account at the platform ClimateProjects and upload the necessary information of your project.
	Pay the pre-validation fee to CarbonFix € 1500 and request for a pre-validation of your documents through the ClimateProjects system.
	Contact a certifier to certify your project. Proceed in the same way as with the pre-validation.
	After your project is certified you open an account at the Markit environmental registry and can register and transfer your carbon credits.
