SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0, published 11 June 2026
Calculate your carbon credit budget for SBTi V2
The new SBTi standard, published in June 2026, turns carbon removal from a nice-to-have into a scheduled obligation. It comes in two parts: until 2035 you take part voluntarily, from 2035 buying removals is mandatory. Enter your emissions to see what each part will cost you.
Step 1Your emissions
Enter your most recent emissions
We use these three numbers to calculate how many carbon credits you will need: voluntarily until 2035, mandatorily after.
We assume you are a Category A company. It applies to companies with more than 1,000 employees or €450m turnover, and from just 10,000 tCO₂e Scope 1+2 in high-income countries. In practice, it is almost every European enterprise.

Why these numbers
We price one portfolio, not a menu: primarily biochar for the durable share and high-integrity nature-based removal for the rest. That is the blend most European buyers actually procure. Prices are curated Senken market data, positioned between a cost-minimised and a balanced portfolio.
- Durable (biochar-anchored): €120–180/t
- Nature-based (ARR): €30–50/t
Pricing reflects Senken market data as of June 2026 and is reviewed quarterly.
Assumptions
Category A company, base year 2025, net-zero year 2050, linear decarbonisation to 10% residual emissions (CNZS A.6), 100% long-lived GHGs, contribution prices per CNZS-C40, obligation per CNZS-C45 (illustrative until reviewed in V3).
This tool provides illustrative estimates based on the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0 (June 2026), criteria C40 and C45, using simplified assumptions disclosed above. The post-2035 requirement is described by the SBTi as illustrative and subject to review in V3. This is not professional, legal or regulatory advice.
Methodology: linear decarbonisation to ~10% residual emissions by the net-zero year (CNZS A.6, p. 9); tier coverage per C40 Table 4; removal obligation per C45.1 and C45.4.
