Climate Impact Through Permit Deletion

Offset emissions by deleting carbon permits

Discover how deleting EU Emission Allowances (EUAs) creates permanent, and verifiable climate impact by removing carbon permits from circulation and reducing the legally allowed climate impact.

Industries Impacted

Which industries are affected
by deleting EU emission permits?

When you delete EUAs, you directly reduce emissions from Europe's largest carbon emitters. These industries must hold permits for every tonne of CO₂ they emit. when we buy and delete permits they lose the right to emit that CO₂. This means your offset is not just a promise, but a real reduction in emissions from the biggest industries in Europe.

Power Generation

Coal, gas, and oil power plants across Europe must hold EUAs for their emissions. Your deletion forces cleaner energy adoption.

Steel & Metal Production

Steel mills, aluminum smelters, and metal refineries need permits for their industrial processes and energy use.

Major industrial emitters

Cement & Construction

Cement plants, lime kilns, and glass manufacturers must hold permits for both process and energy emissions.

Building emissions

Airlines

All flights within Europe and international flights from EU airports must hold EUAs for their emissions.

Aviation emissions

Chemicals & Petrochemicals

Oil refineries, chemical plants, and petrochemical facilities need permits for their manufacturing processes.

Large industrial facilities

Make a real impact

When you delete EUAs through Minpact, these industries must reduce emissions - and pay higher prices for remaining permits. You're driving real climate action.

Why EUA Deletion Works

The advantages of
offsetting through deletion

Unlike traditional carbon offsets with uncertain outcomes, Minpact's EUA deletion provides permanent, and verifiable climate impact through proven regulatory mechanisms.

Direct impact

When we delete an EUA, that permit can never be used to emit CO₂. The impact is permanent - reducing the total cap of allowed emissions.

Direct mechanism:

Each deleted EUA = 1 tonne CO₂ permanently removed from circulation

Regulatory certainty

EUAs are backed by EU law with strict monitoring, reporting, and verification. Unlike project-based offsets, there's no uncertainty about delivery or permanence.

Compliance rate:

97.2% compliance with €100/tonne penalty for non-compliance

No additionality risk

Traditional offsets face additionality questions - would the project have happened anyway? EUA deletion eliminates this risk entirely through permanent removal.

Guarantee:

100% additional impact - permits are removed from registry

Drives systemic change

By increasing demand for EUAs, deletion raises carbon prices, accelerating industrial decarbonization and increasing funding for climate policies across Europe.

Economic impact:

Higher EUA prices → faster industrial transition to clean technology

Climate Project Funding

Your offsets fund
verified climate projects

Each offset through Minpact generates funding for EU-verified climate adaptation and mitigation projects. When Minpact buys and deletes EUAs to offset emissions, the revenue flows directly into Europe's climate transition.

Direct funding mechanism

Revenue from EUA auctions flows into EU member state budgets, funding renewable energy infrastructure, energy efficiency programs, and climate adaptation measures across Europe.

Verified impact projects

Funding supports EU-approved climate initiatives including wind and solar installations, building renovations, electric vehicle infrastructure, and nature-based climate solutions.

Scale of impact

With €43.6 billion generated in 2023 alone, EUA revenue represents one of the world's largest sources of climate financing, supporting the transition to a net-zero economy.

Process

How Minpact
creates climate impact

A transparent, regulated process that guarantees permanent emission reductions.

1

Offset with EUAs

We acquire European Union Emission Allowances from the regulated carbon market on your behalf, each representing the right to emit 1 tonne of CO₂. Pricing is transparently based on monthly EUA market averages.

2

Permanent deletion

EUAs are permanently deleted from the EU Registry, ensuring they can never be used to authorize emissions. This reduces the total emission cap forever.

3

Verified impact

Receive a certificate documenting the carbon offset with full traceability. Your climate impact is quick, real, permanent, and verifiable.
