12 Jun 2026·6 minHow Carbona calculates CO₂ avoided on every ride
The principle is simple: every time the app logs a GPS-validated ride, the route is compared to an equivalent car trip over the same distance. The emissions difference becomes a carbon credit, recorded on Carbona's Carbon Ledger.
No calculation is hidden in a black box. The methodology, the source of the emission factor, and the history of every credit issued can be checked by any external auditor — that's what "auditable" means in every conversation Carbona has with companies and cities.
