SBTi Net-Zero Standard v2.0

SBTi Removal Budget Planner

Find out what your carbon credit budget achieves under the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard v2.0: which recognition level you reach, which credits it buys and how that develops over the coming years.

Step 1 of 4

Your situation

Four things we need to know. The fields are filled with an example company so you can see how it works; replace them with your own figures.

Company name (optional)

SBTi company category

Category A Category B

Category B is for smaller companies. Not sure? Most large companies are Category A.

Annual emissions in tonnes CO₂e

SCOPE 1

SCOPE 2

SCOPE 3

From your latest carbon footprint, the same figures your SBTi target is based on.

Which recognition level do you aim for?

EngagedTake responsibility for at least 1% of your total emissions, at about €18 per tonne. AdvancedAll of scope 1 and 2, and at least 10% of your total emissions, at about €18 per tonne. LeadershipAll of your emissions, at about €71 per tonne. Category B: 10% of total emissions.

Per year. You can adjust it later.

Internal carbon price (optional)

€

If your company uses an internal carbon price, the planner can use it as the minimum price per tonne. Use our internal carbon price as the minimum price

Step 3 of 4

Looking ahead

Your emissions, budget and credit prices all change over time. Answer a few questions and see how your plan develops.

How far ahead do you want to plan?

How fast will your emissions go down?

How will your budget develop?

How do you expect credit prices to move?

Your budget against what SBTi asks

Where prices are heading

Price per tonne from 2027 to 2040. The band shows the range from cheaper to more expensive than expected; the line follows your answer above. Nature-Based and Biochar credits are getting scarcer, and high-quality Emission Reductions rise with demand until 2035 before easing slightly. Enhanced Rock Weathering stays around today's price, while BECCS and DAC get cheaper as they scale. This is how Cawa's carbon experts expect the market to move, based on Cawa's own market data and independent research. Our insights come partly from direct contact with project developers, so they can differ here and there from other market sources.

Key dates

11 Jun 2026v2.0 published. The voluntary Ongoing Emissions Responsibility programme introduces three recognition levels: Engaged, Advanced and Leadership.
1 Feb 2027v2.0 takes effect. Companies declare their intent when they submit targets; recognition is awarded at the end of the five-year cycle.
End 2027Version 1 closes for new targets. Existing v1 targets stay valid until the end of their cycle.
2035Removals become mandatory for Category A: 1% of ongoing emissions, rising to 100% by the net-zero year. The durable share rises from 10% to 100% over the same period. The rest of each level can still be covered with high-quality Emission Reductions.
By 2050Net zero (in your target year, no later than 2050). All remaining emissions must be neutralised with removals, stored for the long term.

How this works. All figures are indicative and are not an offer or financial advice.

Recognition levels follow the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard v2.0 (published 11 June 2026, effective 1 February 2027). The standard sets carbon prices in US dollars ($20 and $80 per tonne); we convert them to euros at about €0,89 per dollar. Coverage is assessed over the five-year target cycle; this planner shows it per year.
A level is met either when your budget is at least the required coverage × the SBTi carbon price, or Cawa's Emission Reductions price for that year if higher (contribution route), or when the tonnes you buy cover the required share of emissions (tonne-for-tonne).
If you enter an internal carbon price and switch it on, the planner never prices a covered tonne below it. It stays the same every year.
The planner spends your whole budget on the mix you choose. When that is more than the level asks, the difference shows as room to spare.
Current prices: at these prices, we are confident we can source the best available projects within each technology, with the lowest risk, as assessed with Cawa's V3 quality methodology.
Future prices show how Cawa's carbon experts expect the market to move over time. They researched this using Cawa's own market data, direct contact with project developers (which is why our view can differ here and there from other market sources) and independent sources: Ecosystem Marketplace (2025); Sylvera (2026); Sylvera (2025); LSE Grantham Research Institute (2026); CDR.fyi & OPIS (2026); BloombergNEF (2024).
From 2035, Category A companies must support removals for 1% of ongoing emissions, rising to 100% by the net-zero year. The rest of each level can still be covered with high-quality Emission Reductions, for every company; where the mandatory removals need it, the planner moves budget from Emission Reductions to the removal types in your mix.

Based on the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard v2.0 (June 2026) and Cawa project data.
