Isometric is expanding its platform to include Environmental Attribute Certificates (EAC), positioning itself as the first certifier to support carbon removal, superpollutant reduction, and EACs within a single registry. The move reflects growing demand for mechanisms that can scale decarbonization across hard-to-abate sectors.
EACs enable companies to decouple environmental benefits from physical products through a “book-and-claim” system.
This allows organizations to purchase verified emissions reductions, such as low-carbon steel or cement, without requiring direct supply chain integration. The approach is gaining traction as industries like steel and cement, which together account for roughly 14% of global emissions, face mounting pressure to decarbonize.
Building Infrastructure for Low-Carbon Materials
While technologies such as hydrogen-based steelmaking and alternative cement processes are advancing, deployment has been constrained by limited financing mechanisms. EACs offer a way to channel demand-side funding toward these solutions, helping bridge the gap between innovation and large-scale adoption.
Major corporates including Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Google are already engaging with EAC-based models to support low-carbon materials. Industry initiatives such as the Sustainable Concrete Buyers Alliance and the Sustainable Steel Buyers Platform are also working to aggregate demand.
Despite this momentum, the market lacks standardized certification frameworks to ensure transparency and credibility. Isometric aims to address this gap by developing certification standards specifically for steel and cement EAC s, alongside expanding its AI-driven verification and registry infrastructure.

The company plans to launch a Book and Claim Module aligned with international standards, including International Organization for Standardization guidelines and the upcoming corporate net-zero framework from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The system will support issuance, tracking, and retirement of certificates across multiple sectors.
By integrating EACs with carbon removal and other environmental assets, Isometric is positioning its platform as a centralized tool for managing climate-related portfolios. As demand for verified emissions reductions grows, such infrastructure could play a key role in scaling investment into low-carbon industrial technologies.
Eamon Jubbawy, Founder and CEO of Isometric, said: “Demand for EACs is growing, but the infrastructure to support it doesn’t yet exist. We built that foundation for carbon removal and EACs are the natural next step. Industrial decarbonization cannot happen without functioning markets, and those markets cannot function without rigorous certification.”
