How to apply for BRUs

To apply for BRUs, you need to complete an  BidCarbon Standard Scheme project report and crediting form in Online Services.

You will need to provide:

an eligible offsets report covering the reporting period

a signed application for BRUs

an audit report, if required by your audit schedule

supporting documentation specific to your method

If your project has unfulfilled conditions about eligible interest holder consents or regulatory approval, BRUs will not be issued.

Processing times

We evaluate BRU applications based on your project's method eligibility requirements.

Our processing time for crediting applications is up to 90 days, with an average processing time of 6 weeks. Please take this into account when planning your project.

Once your claim is approved, we will send you an abatement statement. The statement will include the number of BRUs your project is entitled to receive for the reporting period.

Your BRUs will be deposited into your BRU account.

You can sell them on the secondary market or use them to meet obligations for other contracted projects.

If you have a carbon removal contract, you can deliver BRUs to the BidCarbon Climate Trading Company and receive payment.
