BeZero Carbon

BeZero Carbon is a global carbon ratings agency for the Voluntary Carbon Market, founded in London in 2020. It publishes an independent, eight-point BeZero Carbon Rating (AAA to D) expressing the likelihood that a given carbon credit achieves a tonne of CO2e avoided or removed, alongside risk factor scores, summary analysis, methodology assessments and reference data across forestry, blue carbon, soil and agriculture, cookstoves, engineered removals and superpollutant projects. The BeZero Ratings API (v3, OAuth 2.0 client credentials) lets exchanges, marketplaces, brokers, data providers and corporate buyers pull ratings, project reference data and premium risk factor scores directly into their own platforms, and its ratings are distributed through Bloomberg, ICE, CUSIP and LSEG.

BeZero Carbon publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Projects API and Ratings API. Tagged areas include Company, Carbon Ratings, Carbon Markets, Climate, and Sustainability.

BeZero Carbon’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 23 more developer resources.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/bezero-carbon: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
