Every kilometre your fleet runs on electricity earns clean-fuel credits under Canada’s CFR and the US LCFS programmes. Most small and medium operators never claim them — the registration, monitoring, and verification workload simply isn’t worth it on a small fleet. ZEV Catalyst solves that by pooling operators into a single programme. Climate Decode handles every regulatory step, funds the verification cost upfront, and pays you the vast majority of the revenue we generate — we only keep a small management fee. No admin on your side. No surprise bills.
Small and medium fleets and charging-infrastructure operators rarely have the scale or in-house MRV capacity to run a CFR or LCFS registration on their own. ZEV Catalyst pools you into a Climate Decode-managed programme — we handle every regulatory, reporting, and monetisation step end-to-end.
Canada CFR and US LCFS both reward electric-kilometres with tradable credits — but the registration, MRV, and verification burden typically only pays for itself above a material volume threshold. ZEV Catalyst pools small and medium operators so everyone captures credit revenue without the overhead.
If you run electric vehicles in last-mile delivery, ride-hail, corporate mobility, municipal services, transit, or logistics — every kWh dispensed into your vehicles is eligible to generate CFR (Canada) or LCFS (California / Oregon / Washington) credits. We handle the regulatory side; you keep running the fleet.
Every kWh dispensed from your chargers is a credit opportunity — whether the driver is a network member or a retail visitor. We pipe charge-point management system data into a compliant monitoring, reporting, and verification pipeline, then register and monetise the resulting credits under the appropriate CFR or LCFS credit-creation structure.
ZEV Catalyst isn’t a black-box programme. Every participating fleet and charging operator gets a TerraNova workspace with Incentive Manager and Market Watch modules switched on — so you see credit volumes, pricing, verification status, and expected revenue the moment they land.
TerraNova Incentive Manager tracks every credit your facility has generated, its verification status, and the revenue expected from the current pool cycle. Market Watch layers on live CFR and LCFS credit pricing, pool settlement history, and forward price signals — so you know what your electric kilometres are worth today, not next quarter.
The three things that keep most small and medium operators out of CFR and LCFS credit creation — admin overhead, upfront verification cost, and opaque settlement — are the three things ZEV Catalyst removes.
Credit-creation agreements, registrations, monitoring plans, quantification reports, submissions, and audit responses — all handled by Climate Decode’s CFR and LCFS specialists. You stay focused on running your fleet.
Third-party verification is the single biggest cost barrier for small operators. In ZEV Catalyst, Climate Decode fronts the verifier fees — you pay nothing out of pocket. We recover that cost through our small management fee, but only once credits have actually monetised.
Our management fee is agreed at signing and stays fixed cycle-to-cycle. The vast majority of each cycle’s credit revenue flows to you — and you can see the credit pipeline, pool pricing, and your expected revenue inside TerraNova. No quarterly black-box statements.
Five illustrative operators across Canada — different sectors, fleets, and provinces — all electrifying and turning that electrification into a CFR credit revenue stream through ZEV Catalyst. Numbers are indicative, based on current CFR pricing and representative fleet profiles.
A commercial greenhouse operator running EV forklifts across its grow-house operations, plus a small set of battery-electric loaders supporting an adjacent expansion site.
A national supermarket chain retrofitting six regional distribution centres with battery-electric material-handling fleets — one of the highest-volume operator footprints in the programme.
Underground mining operator replacing diesel haulage with a battery-electric rail system plus electric support and service equipment — one of the highest kWh-per-unit profiles under the CFR methodology.
A BC city running a public fast-charging network while electrifying its municipal car fleet and field service vans — a double CFR opportunity with the largest combined footprint in the programme.
A provincial utility electrifying its field-services and line-crew fleet — service vans, purpose-built electric utility trucks, and depot-hub charging on Canada’s highest-CI grid (SK ~218 gCO2e/MJ, ECCC Fuel LCA Model v4.0 Table 12). Credits still clear.
Figures are illustrative, based on CFR methodology and current market pricing (~$400 / credit). Actual revenue depends on fleet utilisation, electricity mix, jurisdiction, and verifier outcomes.
Before you commit to a fleet upgrade, a new charger rollout, or an electric-equipment swap, talk to us. We’ll model your CFR credit potential under your real operating profile, show you the annual revenue the programme would generate, and help you fold credit economics into your business case — so electrification pays for itself faster.
Estimate the Canadian CFR credit volume and revenue your fleet or charging network can generate — before you sign anything. Our calculator takes kWh dispensed, vehicle class mix, and jurisdiction, then runs the CFR quantification methodology and current market pricing to give you an indicative annual revenue range.
