Introducing the
Rubicon Carbon Tonne™

The Rubicon Carbon Tonne (RCT®) is backed by a diversified portfolio of carbon credits designed to reduce risk and increase optionality for ambitious corporate buyers.

Available as a curated, off-the-shelf, diversified, and actively managed portfolio or as a customized portfolio tailored to your needs, the RCT® allows buyers to own the option to retire credits from a portfolio immediately or at any time until maturity.

Tom Montag, CEO, Rubicon Carbon

The Rubicon Carbon Tonne has numerous features that reduce risks for carbon credit buyers. 


All credits included in RCTs are vetted by our in-house Science Team, led by Dr. Jennifer Jenkins, a member of the IPCC team that shared the 2007 Nobel Prize with Al Gore.

Like a mutual fund, RCT®s are diversified. Diversified portfolios distribute risk among different projects, project types, geographies, vintages, etc., ensuring the buyer is not overexposed to the risks inherent in any single project.

Our curated portfolios are actively managed, which means that Rubicon Carbon can add and remove projects over time based on numerous factors, including their risk profile.

Our portfolios may include our novel risk-adjustment feature, which allows us to monitor internal and external risks and retire additional credits when a project’s environmental impact is less than its stated impact. 

All the credits in our RCTs have been issued (ex-post) by a credible registry, meaning the buyer assumes no future delivery risk. Buyers have the peace of mind that credits will be available to retire if they choose to do so at any point until maturity.

Rubicon Carbon customers only assume ownership of their credits upon retiring them. As a result, clients benefit from the portfolio’s ongoing monitoring, active management, and risk adjustment (where applicable), while reducing exposure to reputational and delivery risks. 

The Rubicon Carbon Tonne can help reduce costs for companies focused on sustainability.

RCTs can be built, priced, and tracked through our self-service platform.

Reduce Risks and Procurement Costs:

Through the RCT, clients get access to numerous best-in-class projects without incurring the costs of in-house expertise required to perform extensive project-by-project due diligence. In addition, clients can choose to add our novel risk-adjustment feature to mitigate potential over-crediting.

Buy Today, Retire Tomorrow:

As more companies approach their net zero deadlines, the demand for carbon credits is expected to increase, with many analysts anticipating carbon credit prices will rise. By purchasing RCTs today, buyers allow themselves the opportunity to reserve credits and save rather than risk overpaying tomorrow.

Future-Proof Your Net Zero Strategy:

Many corporate sustainability departments face high uncertainty over their emissions’ trajectory. By purchasing RCTs, companies can secure supply to protect against unexpected scenarios while ensuring their net zero goals stay on track.
