How Isometric charges for certification
Isometric charges buyers directly, rather than suppliers. This aligns Isometric’s incentives with buyers and avoids trade-offs between Isometric’s bottom line and certificate integrity.
Buyers pay a per-tonne certification fee, which is paid on delivery. This fee varies by pathway, rather than as a percentage of certificate cost, to reflect Isometric's own cost of certifying that pathway.
The price per tonne decreases when a supplier’s annual output exceeds the relevant threshold. The threshold is calculated based on total certificates issued between January 1 and December 31 in the prior year.
As suppliers scale up, Isometric’s cost to certify each tonne goes down—so Isometric passes on these savings.
Some pathways are more complex to certify, so the starting price is higher.
At scale these cost differentials diminish, so the price points converge.
The discounts to the fee are based on the number of certificates issued to a supplier in the prior calendar year.
Pricing tiers are set annually and take effect on January 1.
Isometric’s single certification fee covers everything—including VVB costs.
No annual account fees, secondary transaction fees, or retirement fees.
