Not all carbon credits are created equal—but what actually defines “quality?” In this webinar, Carbon Counts hosts Dave Lindenmuth and David LaGreca explore how carbon credits are differentiated across voluntary and compliance markets, and why labels, ratings, and certifications don’t always tell the full story. Using real-world examples, we break down what common designations really mean and why buyer diligence remains critical in today’s carbon markets.
What you’ll learn:
How carbon credits are differentiated by type and perceived quality
What common labels, ratings, and certifications do—and do not—represent
Key differences between voluntary and compliance market signals
Why buyer diligence matters when evaluating carbon credit claims

After years of rapid growth, the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (CA-LCFS) is entering a new phase — one defined by market maturity, evolving compliance dynamics, and increased scrutiny from regulators and stakeholders. Credit prices, supply fundamentals, and policy signals are shifting, and strategies that worked in the past may no longer be enough.
In this webinar, EcoEngineers’ CA-LCFS expert unpacks what it means for the program to have “turned a corner” and how regulated parties, fuel producers, and investors should adapt. We explore how structural changes in the program are reshaping compliance planning, credit generation, and investment decisions, plus what these trends signal for the future of clean fuels in California and beyond.
In this session, you’ll learn:
What’s driving the CA-LCFS transition into a more mature market phase
How credit supply, demand, and pricing dynamics are evolving
Why project quality, carbon intensity accuracy, and verification matter more than ever
Join us to learn more about where the market is headed and how to position your organization for what’s next.
Access to European Union (EU) and global markets increasingly depends on credible sustainability certification, especially for renewable fuels, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and bio‑based or advanced products. Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) certification is widely recognized as one of the most rigorous and trusted sustainability systems in the world, offering verified environmental and social performance, robust greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction accounting, and full supply chain traceability.
Join us for this webinar, co‑hosted by RSB, EcoEngineers, and LRQA experts, to gain a clear and practical understanding of how RSB certification works and how it supports market access, compliance, and credibility. There are two times to join, convenient for those either in the Americas or European time zones: Thursday, April 16, at 10 a.m. CT or Thursday, April 23, at 10 a.m. CEST (3 a.m. CT).
During this session, we will explore:
When sustainability certification is required to enter new markets, including EU, UK, and voluntary market pathways.
What RSB certification is, how its Principles and Criteria ensure best‑in‑class sustainability and traceability across global value chains.
How RSB compares to other sustainability schemes, and why it is recognized as a rigorous, NGO‑backed system for fuels and advanced products.
How the certification process works in practice, following RSB’s structured eight‑step certification journey — from scheme selection to auditing and ongoing compliance. Documentation, system requirements, and audit expectations, including chain‑of‑custody, supply‑chain traceability, and operator responsibilities.
The session will use real case examples and practical insights from RSB and EcoEngineers auditors and technical specialists.

Join us for a focused session on the electric vehicle (EV) verification requirements and 2026 changes under California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (CA-LCFS) and Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR). If you are or will soon be generating credits under these programs, then this webinar is for you.
This session includes:
An brief introduction to the CA-LCFS and CFR regulations and its relevance for EV credit generation
The basics of validation and verification processes, including timelines and required data
Key requirements for EV infrastructure owners and credit generators
Common challenges and site visit expectations
Guidance on preparing for upcoming compliance deadlines and next steps to complying with the regulations
This session is ideal for municipalities, fleet operators, EV charging owners/operators, technology providers, charging network providers, and anyone new to CA-LCFS and CFR EV credit generation. Attendees gain actionable insights into EV verification.
This month, David LaGreca, Dave Lindenmuth, and Lisa Hanke explore the evolving landscape of carbon markets and regulatory policy, focusing on the strategic advantages and challenges faced by U.S. and international players. This session will cover the implications of U.S. isolationism, the impact of policies like 45Z, and the competitive dynamics between American and European carbon markets. Join experts as they debate market access, regulatory outcomes, and the future of carbon credits, with practical insights for both domestic and global stakeholders.
