Atmospheric CO₂
May support removal only when permanently stored or durably mineralized. If converted to fuel, the more conservative claim is carbon recycling or fossil displacement, not permanent removal.
Claims & MRV
Carbon claims must follow the stream, pathway, and boundary.
A ton of fossil CO₂, atmospheric or terminal-air CO₂, used cooking oil, food waste, mixed MSW, methane, or biochar carries a different claim boundary. Carbon Recycling structures chain-of-custody, Scope relevance, evidence boundaries, and public language so airports, airlines, tenants, and concessions can communicate only what they can prove.
Claims-safe by design
Claim discipline
Reduction, recycling, diversion, utilization, displacement, storage, and removal are different outcomes.
Carbon Recycling Technologies’ MRV framework separates what happened physically from what can be claimed legally, commercially, and publicly. The goal is to make the carbon recycling system credible for airports, airlines, tenants, vendors, capital, regulators, and the public.
Claim matrix
Different stream types create different claim boundaries.
Fossil CO₂
May support emissions reduction, utilization, storage, or recycled-carbon fuel claims, with biogenic-removal treatment reserved for pathways and accounting that support that claim.
Biogenic Carbon
Food waste, used cooking oil, biomass, paper, and organics may support renewable feedstock, diversion, methane avoidance, biochar, compost, or biogenic storage claims depending on pathway.
Mixed Waste
Airport trash and MSW require separation or accounting for fossil and biogenic fractions. Waste-to-fuel pathways need careful lifecycle and double-counting controls.
Methane and Biogas
Landfill gas, AD gas, and wastewater gas may support methane mitigation, RNG, energy recovery, and CO₂ capture claims. Credit ownership and double counting must be controlled.
Solid Carbon Storage
Biochar, hydrochar, mineralized products, aggregates, or durable materials may support storage claims only when durability, mass balance, and end-use tracking are defensible.
MRV architecture
The claim system must track source, control, route, conversion, and output.
Carbon Recycling Technologies’ MRV logic is designed for multi-stakeholder airport environments where the airport, city, airline, tenant, vendor, hauler, fuel producer, or registry may each have different rights.
Where it came from
Physical source, meter, contract, facility, tenant, hauler, generator, or regional asset.
How it moved
Collection, capture, sorting, hauling, treatment, storage, transfer, blending, or conversion data.
What it became
SAF, e-fuel, RNG, compost, biochar, material, storage, utilization, recycled product, or disposal.
Who can say what
Ownership, allocation, Scope boundary, registry logic, credit status, public claim, and double-counting prevention.
SmartSort claims discipline
Sorting visibility requires evidence before fuel or removal claims are made.
Waste to Wings explains that materials can be routed toward future fuel, recycling, composting, RNG, biochar, circular materials, or approved disposal. Carbon Recycling Technologies separates passenger education from verified downstream claims so airports avoid implying that every discarded item becomes SAF.
Passenger education
Signage can explain carbon-bearing resources and sorting routes in plain language.
Operational evidence
Claims require weights, route logs, processor data, contamination rates, chain of custody, and destination confirmation.
Claim type
Carbon Recycling Technologies distinguishes diversion, recycling, utilization, SAF feedstock, emissions reduction, storage, and durable removal.
Claims-safe growth
Build the claim boundary before the public story.
Make carbon recycling infrastructure visible while keeping every claim conservative, evidence-based, and defensible.
