The general idea is that you get a recurring annual payment in Q4 of the year following each calendar year that has been monitored. The time between signing up for the Carbon+ Program and receiving your first payment therefore depends on which calendar year has been defined as the Project Start Year and if you have made sufficient progress to be eligible for monitoring in that year. Example: If you signed up to Carbon Plus in November 2022 and defined 2023 as your first monitoring year, you will get your payment in Q3 2024. If you have started implementing changes before signing up and requested backdating, the timeline does not change, as we currently process backdated years together with the last calendar year.
Timeline can vary based on timely data input and external verification processes.
