Act, points, redeem
Residents log a low-carbon act. The platform calculates the reduction and the points. Points buy a merchant benefit, and the merchant redeems it into settlement.

Inclusive carbon
Methods for behaviour, points you can redeem, reductions you can register as assets
MeetCarbon Cloud inclusive carbon covers the resident app, the merchant app and the operator workspace. Low-carbon acts are calculated into reductions and points. Points are redeemed against merchant benefits. Pooled reductions can pass through a methodology, verification, CPR registration and issuance, then into the carbon-asset ledger. Public institutions score participation and reduction contribution, and pack working practices for reuse.

Three loops
Daily points, reduction assets and institutional review on one book
All three loops share the same calculated acts. Points go to people, reductions roll up to institutions and batches, and reviews look at participation and contribution.
Reduction, CPR, ledger
Personal and project reductions are pooled by institution, area and period, then registered and issued as CPR after methodology and verification, and pushed to the carbon-asset ledger.

Methodologies
Scenes calculate automatically, projects follow verification
Methodologies fall into two classes. Class II covers everyday low-carbon acts and is calculated from a formula. Class I covers projects such as solar, charging and building retrofits, with stricter data and verification. Factors below are samples for this page. Go-live uses the locally filed methodology and the factor for that year.
Class II · scenes
Walking, bus, metro, household electricity savings, taking delivery without cutlery, and similar daily acts. The formula is simplified. Data can be a manual log with evidence, or a source the operator configures.
The platform calculates automatically and samples records under the rules.
Class I · projects
Distributed solar, charging facilities and building retrofits with a clear boundary. Activity data needs to be complete. Results are pooled into CPR.
Issuance usually waits for third-party verification.

The calculator uses the sample factors on this page and a sample rate of 100 points per kilogram. Live rules, daily caps and local factors are set in act accounting and platform settings.
Who uses it
Residents redeem, merchants clear, the platform sets the rules
The resident app and the merchant app are separate. The operator workspace sets methodologies, reviews and scores. Both apps follow those rules.
The question they ask
How much did I avoid today, and what can these points buy?
What they look at
- Cumulative reductions and points on the carbon account
- Log walking, bus, electricity savings and similar acts
- Redeem in the points mall, and join campaigns in community and knowledge
Capabilities

Points
Earning, spending, caps and validity are all in the rules
Act points are reductions times a factor. Check-in, campaigns and achievements are extra rewards. Spending is mainly redemption and donations. A lottery is not a shipped capability.
Earn
| Low-carbon act | Reduction × point factor, under the methodology | Daily cap per act |
|---|---|---|
| Daily check-in | Streak increases the reward, with a daily ceiling | Sample 30 points/day |
| Campaign | Bonus points after the campaign conditions are met | Set per campaign |
| Achievement | One-off reward for a first log or a cumulative reduction | Once each |
Spend
- Benefit redemptionDeduct the points the item requires; complete when the merchant redeems
- DonationDonate points to a named project and book the consumption
Caps and controls
- The account has a daily total cap. Each act also has its own cap and a minimum log threshold.
- Points have a validity period. Expired points leave the available balance.
- An institution can override the default factor. The override stays on the rule version.
- Repeats in a short window, implausible distance, or missing evidence go to review and are not posted until they pass.
Figures such as 30 points and 365 days are sample defaults from the product design. Live values are whatever platform settings currently hold.
CPR
Six steps from a pooled reduction to a batch that can be booked
Inclusive carbon pools the reduction, checks the methodology, handles verification, registration and issuance, then pushes the batch to the carbon-asset ledger. Allowance trading, compliance surrender and combined asset reports stay in the carbon-asset product.
- 1Pool
Sum reductions that are calculated and have passed checks, by institution, area and period.
- 2Methodology
Check that the formula, factor version and activity data match the filed methodology.
- 3Verify
Send the calculation report when an external verifier is required. Class II scenes can be sampled.
- 4Register
File the registration. States move through draft, in review, approved and rejected.
- 5Issue
After approval, write the CPR batch number and issuance time.
- 6Push
Push the batch to the carbon-asset ledger. Trade status is written back by that product.

On-chain evidence is optional and is not a shipped module on this page. Agree it separately if a project needs it.
Where data comes from
Acts can be logged by hand, or taken from a configured source
Every record has to match a methodology and its evidence. Automatic collection depends on whether the operator has configured that source. This page does not assume a particular external interface is already connected.
Resident app log
Residents submit an act in the app, with evidence when required. Records that fail checks do not earn points.
WalkBusElectricityGreen consumption
Institution campaigns
Campaigns created by operators produce participation records and bonus points.
Projects and meters
Class I projects such as solar, charging and retrofits use activity data inside the project boundary.
Configured sources
Travel or electricity sources are connected per project. Manual logs still work before that connection exists.
Merchant redeem
Redemption orders are cleared in the merchant app and write back point consumption and settlement.
Carbon-asset write-back
After a CPR push, trade and position status is written back onto the batch by the carbon-asset product.
What this product does not do
- Allowance and CCER trading, compliance, transfers and combined asset reports live in the carbon-asset product.
- Organisation-wide greenhouse-gas inventory and verification files live in the inventory product. Inclusive carbon accounts for behaviour and project reductions.
- A link to a local official inclusive-carbon platform is a separate integration. CPR on this page is in-platform registration and push.
Scenes such as the zero-carbon card can send behaviour events into inclusive-carbon accounting. Point rules still follow this platform’s settings.
How to start

Platform
Rules are versioned, ledgers can be traced
Inclusive carbon, energy, inventory, carbon assets and ESG do different jobs. Connect a figure or push a result when you need the neighbour.
Isolation across institutions
Government bodies, schools and hospitals can run on one platform, with data split by institution.
Three factor tiers
A local factor wins, then a national factor, then the platform default.
Point audit
Issuance, freezes, redemption and expiry each leave a line that can be replayed.
Report export
Participation, contribution and CPR batches can be exported for review or verification.
Role permissions
Operations, review and read-only scoring are authorised separately.
Pool by period
Reductions and CPR are summed by institution, area and time window.
How neighbouring products connect
Inclusive carbon owns behaviour and the first half of a pooled reduction asset. Organisation emissions, energy books, allowance trades and disclosure indexes each have their own product.

Questions
Settle the boundary first
How do inclusive carbon and carbon assets split the work?
Inclusive carbon covers act accounting, points, merchants, methodologies, and CPR registration, issuance and push. Carbon assets cover the ledger after receipt, trades, compliance and combined reports.
Is this the same number as a GHG inventory?
Inventory accounts for greenhouse-gas emissions inside an organisation boundary. Inclusive carbon accounts for reductions from personal acts and defined projects. Reports can cite both. Each calculation keeps its own boundary.
If the city already runs an official inclusive-carbon platform, do we still need this?
The official platform holds the local account and local rules. MeetCarbon Cloud inclusive carbon runs scenes, points and merchants inside the institution, and connects acts or reduction results to the other side per project. The interface follows that platform’s current specification.
Can the factors and points on this page be used as-is?
No. They are samples. Before go-live, replace them in methodologies and platform settings with the locally filed factor and the factor the institution has confirmed.
Do step counts, bus rides and grid data arrive automatically?
The resident app supports a manual log. Automatic collection is configured per project and still passes the checks. Manual logs and campaign points work when no source is configured.
Is on-chain evidence switched on?
Evidence on a chain is an optional agreement. It is not on the default workspace menu. Registration, the report and verification comments already stay with the batch attachments.
Start by fixing the scene and the methodology
Tell us whether this is a public institution, a campus, a park or a community, and which acts and merchants you want. We will walk through the overview, point rules and a CPR batch for that institution.
