ClearBlue's new EV Aggregator pools carbon credits from EV projects, making it easier and more affordable to participate in the CFR program.
TORONTO, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ClearBlue Markets has unveiled a new solution to help clients earn electric vehicle (EV) credits through the Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) while reducing costs. The ClearBlue Markets EV Aggregator is a proprietary tool that pools carbon credits from EV projects, making it easier and more affordable to participate in the CFR program.
Addressing Key Challenges
The CFR requires participants to undergo verification by accredited third parties, a process that can be prohibitively expensive. This financial barrier discourages many from pursuing EV project credits despite the critical role EVs play in helping Canada achieve its climate goals.
"ClearBlue's EV Aggregator enables smaller EV charger owners to participate in the CFR program more easily and affordably," said Michael Berends, CEO of ClearBlue Markets. "This accelerates Canada's transition to zero-emission vehicles."
How ClearBlue's EV Aggregator Works
The ClearBlue EV Aggregator pools data from EV chargers into a single account, reducing participation costs and increasing credit marketability. It also minimizes the financial burden of third-party verification, enhancing profitability. ClearBlue's team of experts manage the complexities of CFR regulations and the credit generation process on behalf of clients.
The EV Aggregator streamlines the entire CFR process—from registration to monitoring, reporting, verification, and credit transactions—via an automated, user-friendly platform. Clients can access a personalized dashboard that provides real-time project data, credit tracking, and financial insights. The EV Aggregator is available through the ClearBlue Vantage carbon intelligence platform, offering seamless access to powerful tools for tracking and optimizing carbon credits.
Why This Matters: Supporting EV Adoption
Canada has set ambitious targets for zero-emission vehicle sales, aiming for 100% of new light-duty vehicles by 2035, with interim goals of 20% by 2026 and 60% by 2030. To meet these targets, widespread EV adoption is critical, and CFR credits offer a vital incentive for EV infrastructure development.
"Our EV Aggregator simplifies and automates the crediting process," Berends added. "It provides clients with a turnkey platform that consolidates project data, removes barriers to market access, and offers CFR credit price insights with up-to-date market data market data."
Who Can Benefit and How to Get Started:
The ClearBlue EV Aggregator is designed to assist small compliance category 3 (CC3) credit creators, including EV charging site hosts and network operators, as well as larger entities with EV fleets or charging infrastructure. Clients range from municipalities to industrial players, and anyone with EV infrastructure may be eligible to generate valuable credits.
In addition to facilitating credit creation under the CFR, the EV Aggregator also supports other low-carbon fuel standard programs, including those in British Columbia, California, Oregon, Washington, and the European Union, and will expand to additional jurisdictions over time.
