Turn your decarbonization efforts into financial leverage with carbon compliance units. Cleo helps you do that, too!
Creation of carbon compliance units
Available in Canada
The Clean Fuel Regulations
Electrifying your fleet directly contributes to reducing your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Since 2023, this reduction allows you, as an owner or operator of electric vehicles in Canada, to generate carbon compliance units.
These units can then be sold on the carbon market to companies looking to offset their own emissions.
The more you reduce your emissions, the more units you generate, and the more revenue you earn.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
Learn more about the Canadian carbon market and our compliance unit valuation program.
What is a carbon compliance unit?
One compliante unit equals one metric ton of CO₂ avoided under Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR). These credits, generated by using electric vehicles, are certified and sold on the carbon market to industrial buyers. The result: your fleet can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, especially with large-battery vehicles like buses and trucks, or high-utilization EVs such as delivery vans. It’s a powerful lever to finance your transition.
How does Cleo help monetize these credits?
As an aggregator, Cleo consolidates carbon credits from its clients, certifies them, and negotiates the best price on regulated markets. With reliable data sourced directly from the charging infrastructure it manages, Cleo achieves top ratings from certification bodies, ensuring maximum value for your credits.
Do I need a large fleet to join the carbon credit program?
No. Even a small fleet can generate carbon credits. As an aggregator, Cleo maximizes credit collection and monetization to boost your earnings—regardless of fleet size. With just a few vehicles, you still benefit from the power of scale.
How long will this program last?
Carbon credit monetization programs are part of a long-term strategy to meet decarbonization goals. Their duration depends on regional regulations and policies, but the trend points to multi-year stability. Cleo continuously monitors regulatory changes to ensure compliance and maximize your revenue.
What drives the value of carbon compliance credits?
Carbon credit prices fluctuate with market demand, regulatory incentives, and emission-reduction targets. Stricter standards, stronger ESG commitments, and limited supply can drive prices higher. As an aggregator, Cleo consolidates large volumes of credits, negotiates top market rates, and maximizes the value of each unit, helping you optimize participation and capitalize on these dynamics.
Why isn’t this program more widely publicized?
Carbon credit monetization is still an emerging opportunity in fleet electrification. Many operators overlook its financial potential because programs vary by region and provider. Cleo removes this complexity with a turnkey solution that turns your energy transition into a revenue stream.
