While your company receives the direct environmental benefit of the repair, the carbon credits are registered to the NOWOS Repair Center Expansion Project (Project ID: RIV-2025-PROJ-123 and 124). This follows the Rainbow Methodology, where credits are issued to the infrastructure that enables the emission reduction, in this case, our repair center, rather than the individual product being serviced.

This question highlights the important difference between a product and a project in the voluntary carbon market.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

1. Credits are Awarded to the Project, Not the Product. In the voluntary carbon market, credits are not tied to an individual product (like your battery). They are awarded to the certified project that makes the emissions reduction possible. Under the Riverse methodology (Project ID: RIV-2025-PROJ-123 and 124), our advanced repair facility is the project.

2. Credits Incentivize the Solution. The goal of this system is to incentivize and fund the creation of specialized facilities like ours. These facilities are the true bottleneck in creating a circular economy, and the carbon credits help us build and scale this vital work.

3. You Receive a Different, Powerful Value. Your company receives a direct and significant benefit: measurable Scope 3 emissions reductions. By choosing to repair rather than replace, you get to claim these reductions on your own environmental ledger, which is a powerful asset for your company's sustainability goals and reporting.

That's a common comparison, but it's actually a different system. Tesla's credits (in that example) often come from a compliance market (like California's), which operates under different, government-mandated rules. We operate in the global voluntary carbon market, where the rules are designed to fund specific, registered projects like our repair facility. The analogy isn't relevant here.

You could, but it's important to understand what that entails. To claim carbon credits, you would need to become a certified project operator yourself.

This involves:

• Operating your own industrial repair facility.

• Complying with the full, complex Rainbow methodology.

• Implementing rigorous data monitoring and tracking.

• Undergoing (and paying for) regular, independent third-party audits.

• Managing the official registration and issuance process.

This requires significant technical and operational investment.

Our service allows you to gain the core environmental benefit (your Scope 3 reductions) without taking on this complexity. It is therefore fair, and standard practice, for NOWOS as the entity enabling and executing the project to retain the credits.
