Value Calculations

How Financing Creates Long-Term Value for SMEs

Explore illustrative calculations across different SME types — manufacturing, export, agriculture, and GGF-financed projects — showing how decarbonisation generates measurable, recurring financial value.

EcoBlock sits at the intersection of a rapidly expanding carbon market and the largest underserved segment of the global economy—SMEs.

01
Light Manufacturing

Small Manufacturing SME

Malaysia — Energy Efficiency + Solar Project

$20,000–$100,000
5-year value creation potential
Industry
Light Manufacturing
Location
Malaysia
Annual Emissions
2,000 tCO₂
Step 1 — Reduction

Project: Energy efficiency upgrade + solar installation

400 tCO₂

reduced annually (20% of baseline)

Step 2 — Market Value

Voluntary carbon pricing applied to verified reductions:

Low: $10/tCO₂

Mid: $25/tCO₂

High: $50/tCO₂

Step 3 — Revenue Potential

Annual asset value across pricing scenarios:

$4K–$20K

per year — recurring and growing

Scenario Carbon Price Annual Value 5-Year Value
Conservative $10 / tCO₂ $4,000 $20,000
Base Case $25 / tCO₂ $10,000 $50,000
Premium Quality $50 / tCO₂ $20,000 $100,000
Key Insight: Even small SMEs can generate new recurring revenue streams from decarbonisation. Over a 5-year period, this represents $20,000–$100,000 in additional value creation — entirely from sustainability activity that was previously treated as a cost.
03
Agriculture · Nature-Based

Agro / Plantation SME

Agriculture / Palm / Agroforestry — Regenerative Practices

$80,000–$160,000
annual nature-based asset value
Industry
Agriculture / Agroforestry
Emissions Baseline
10,000 tCO₂
Project Type
Regenerative Practices
Step 1 — Reduction & Removal

Includes both emissions reduction and carbon sequestration from regenerative practices:

2,000 tCO₂e

annual reduction + sequestration

Step 2 — Premium Pricing

Nature-based solutions command higher prices due to co-benefits and institutional demand:

$40–$80

per tCO₂ for verified NBS credits

Step 3 — Value

Sequestration and reduction combined into high-value, premium-priced assets:

$80K–$160K

per year at premium NBS pricing

Scenario NBS Price tCO₂e Generated Annual Value
Base $40 / tCO₂e 2,000 tCO₂e $80,000
Premium NBS $80 / tCO₂e 2,000 tCO₂e $160,000
Key Insight: Nature-based solutions unlock premium carbon asset value due to additional ecosystem benefits — biodiversity, water quality, and community impact — that institutional buyers actively seek to meet qualitative ESG goals beyond pure offset needs.
