Climate impact through EUA retirement

We help companies and individuals offset emissions by retiring Emission Allowances

Discover how retiring EU Emission Allowances creates permanent and verifiable climate impact by removing carbon permits from circulation and reducing the legally allowed emissions.

How it works

How EUA deletion works

When you offset with Minpact, you delete real EU carbon permits instead of funding uncertain future projects. This directly tightens the emissions cap for Europe’s heaviest polluters.

Each deleted EUA = 1 tonne CO₂ permanently removed from circulation.

Polluting companies must hold permits for every tonne they emit, fewer permits mean they must cut emissions and pay more.

Strict monitoring, reporting and €100/tonne penalties enforce real delivery (99% compliance).

Industries Impacted

Which industries are affected
by deleting EU emission permits?

European industries must hold permits for every tonne of CO2 they emit. When we help you delete permits, they lose the right to emit that CO2.

Power Generation

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

EU electricity generation
Steel mill with industrial smokestacks emitting smoke

Steel & Metal Production

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

Major industrial emitters
Cement factory with large smokestacks emitting thick white and gray industrial smoke

Cement & Construction

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

Building emissions
Commercial aircraft with visible exhaust contrails

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

Pulp & Paper

Paper mills and pulp producers must hold permits for their energy-intensive manufacturing processes.

Energy-intensive processes

Your offsets are not funding hypothetical project, they are tightening the legal emissions cap for Europe’s heaviest polluters.

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 a proven regulatory mechanism.

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.

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.

No additionality risk

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

Drives systemic change

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

Climate Project Funding

Your offsets fund
verified climate projects

Every ton offset through permit deletion prevents that ton from being emitted, but that's not all it does.

Each offset through Minpact also 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 purchases 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 €39 billion generated in 2024 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
positive climate impact

A transparent, regulated process with permanent emission reductions.

1

Offset with EUAs

Use our platform to purchase EUAs at transparent prices and allocate offsets to your activities. Our pricing is 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 emissions allowed, forever.

3

Verified impact

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