City Government, British Columbia

Running two CFR streams — public charging plus own-fleet — under one city programme.

A mid-sized BC city operating a growing public DC fast-charging network across its sites and parks, while simultaneously electrifying the municipal car fleet and field service vans. BC’s clean hydro grid (~11 gCO₂e/MJ, per ECCC Specifications for Fuel LCA Model CI Calculations v4.0, Table 12) makes every dispensed kWh — whether to the public or to the city’s own EVs — high-yield credit-earning energy.

Electrified units powering the credit stream.

What the city receives each year.

At current CFR pricing (~$400 / credit), ~50 public DC fast chargers plus ~100 municipal EVs in British Columbia generate on the order of ~4,955 tCO₂e / year of CFR credits — around CAD 1.98 million in annual credit revenue, paid to the city after each annual cycle. Climate Decode retains only a small management fee.

Credit revenue across the first compliance cycle.

Projection pulled directly from the site CFR calculator — CFR reference CIs (Fuel LCA Model v4.0), EER per ECCC Schedule 5, BC grid CI ~11 gCO₂e/MJ per ECCC Specifications for Fuel LCA Model CI Calculations v4.0 (Table 12), and credit pricing at current market (~CAD 400 / credit).

Annual credit volume drifts down slightly year-over-year as the CFR reference CI tightens under the declining trajectory; revenue stays roughly stable at ~CAD 1.9M/yr across the cycle.

The work the city would otherwise have to build a compliance team to do.

ZEV Catalyst registers the public-charging network and the municipal fleet as two accounting streams under a single CFR Credit Creation Agreement, installs kWh sub-metering at every DC fast charger and depot connector, runs the MRV plan (energy dispensed, source, equipment class, logged session-by-session), and manages annual third-party verification with ECCC. The city signs one agreement, deals with one counterparty, and never sees a verifier invoice.
