# Carbon credits on Senseible

Senseible turns verified MSME emission reductions into tradable carbon credits. A credit is only issued when the underlying evidence passes deterministic checks: SHA-256-unique source documents, sector-appropriate methodology, additionality flag, and a confidence band above the issuance threshold.

## What qualifies

- Verified rooftop solar generation displacing grid electricity (with localised IEA grid factor).
- Verified diesel-to-electric vehicle conversions in logistics fleets.
- Verified afforestation and agroforestry with geolocation evidence.
- Verified refrigerant leak prevention in cold chain.
- Verified energy-efficiency retrofits with metered before/after data.

## How issuance works

1. Senseible verifies each underlying document and assigns an evidence hash.
2. The methodology engine maps the activity to an accepted protocol version (VCS, GS, or an India CCTS-aligned variant).
3. A VCM-readiness score gates issuance — only high-additionality, low-risk runs become credits.
4. Issued credits land on the [carbon marketplace](/marketplace) with full provenance metadata for buyers.

## Buyers

Buyers see anonymised, decision-grade compliance signals rather than raw MSME data. The underlying SHA-256 hash is exposed so any auditor can trace a credit back to its original verification — but personally identifying supplier data is never revealed.
