ZEV CATALYST — POOLED CFR / LCFS EV CREDITS

Turn Electric Kilometres Into Credit Revenue.
Hassle-Free.

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.

How It Works

Six Steps. One Pool. Zero Admin Load.

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.

1
Credit Creation Agreement
The fleet owner or charging operator signs a credit creation agreement with Climate Decode. This is the instrument that lets us register credits on your behalf under Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations or the equivalent US LCFS structure. Your facility enters the pool.
Onboarding
2
Facility & MRV Set-Up
Climate Decode adds your facility to the programme and runs a one-time MRV onboarding — defining monitoring boundaries, metering points, and the data schema required by the regulator.
One-Time
3
Data Collection (Your Choice)
We collect charging events and electricity supplied on an agreed cadence — via API integration with your charge-point management system, an Excel template, or direct CMS access. Whatever fits your stack.
API / Excel / CMS
4
Reporting & Verification
Climate Decode prepares every regulatory report and submission, and funds the third-party verification process upfront. You do not pay verifier invoices, legal costs, or registration fees.
CD-Funded
5
Monetisation
Post-verification, Climate Decode sells the pool’s credits and transfers the vast majority of the revenue to you. We only retain a small management fee, agreed at signing. No hidden costs. Transparent settlement every cycle.

TerraNova Platform Access
Clients get live access to TerraNova Incentive Manager and Market Watch — track credit volumes, verification status, pool pricing, and expected revenue in real time. No manual follow-ups required.

Who It’s For

Built for Fleets & Charging Operators That Don’t Have the Scale to Go Alone

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.

Fleet Operators

Small & Medium Commercial EV Fleets.

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.

  • Delivery & last-mile EV fleets (LDV, MDV, HDV)
  • Municipal, transit, and school-bus electrification
  • Corporate mobility & ride-hail operators
  • Off-road / industrial electric fleets (forklifts, yard tractors)
Charging Infrastructure

Public & Private Charging Network Operators.

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.

  • Public DC fast-charging & Level 2 networks
  • Depot / private fleet charging operators
  • Retail and workplace charging providers
  • Behind-the-meter & home-charging aggregators
Platform Integration

Every Pool Participant Gets Live Platform Access

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.

ZEV Catalyst + TerraNova

Incentive Manager & Market Watch — Your Real-Time Credit Cockpit

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.

Why ZEV Catalyst

No Hassle. No Verification Payments. Simple, Transparent Revenue.

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.

No Admin Burden

We Run the Regulatory Machine

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.

  • CFR / LCFS credit-creation agreement drafted & filed
  • Facility registration & MRV plan
  • All regulator-facing reporting & submissions
  • One-time onboarding, then fully managed
No Verification Payments

Climate Decode Funds Verification

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.

  • No verifier invoices for participants
  • No legal, registration, or platform fees
  • We only earn when you earn
  • Pool-scale economics make it work
Transparent Revenue

Small Management Fee. Real-Time Platform.

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.

  • Small management fee, agreed upfront
  • Vast majority of the credit revenue paid to you
  • Live credit & revenue tracking in TerraNova
  • Clear settlement each pool cycle
  • Market Watch shows live CFR / LCFS pricing
