Frequently asked questions

Article 6.2 (ITMO) — a mitigation outcome transferred between countries under a bilateral agreement. UPROOT Y converts generation data into ITMOs on the basis of a host country Letter of Authorization (LoA).

Article 6.4 (PACM) — operates under UN supervision, issuing mitigation outcomes used toward national NDC targets. Project developers, governments and private companies can obtain independent validation and verification services under this mechanism.

CORSIA eligible units — credits that airlines purchase and surrender to offset emissions above their baseline under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation.

The sequence is: generation data collection → AI reduction calculation → mapping to the Verra VCS standard → review by a Validation/Verification Body (VVB) → government Letter of Authorization (LoA) → credit issuance.

Power producers can adopt the AI-MRV system with no equipment investment, and share the revenue from issued credits with UPROOT Y.

Power generators and global RE100 companies, along with airlines and refiners subject to CORSIA, roughly 700 K-ETS allocated entities, and 36 RE100 participants, are the main sources of demand.

Reductions vary with output (efficiency) and grid mode — whether the plant displaces grid fossil generation (On-Grid) or diesel fuel (Off-Grid).

Reductions = generation × grid emission factor

Output varies with efficiency, but a new small hydropower plant produces roughly 5,000–6,000 MWh per year. Displacing grid fossil generation (On-Grid) yields about 1,300 tCO2 per year; displacing diesel (Off-Grid) yields about 3,600 tCO2 — more than three times the difference.

Around KRW 800 million per MW. Quotations vary with site conditions such as head, flow velocity and the state of the waterway.

Any location with low-head or untapped water resources can be considered, including public water treatment facilities in Korea. We plan to expand step by step on the basis of commercial demonstration data from overseas.

Equipment capable of generation metering (smart meter integration) is required, and applicable methodology eligibility is confirmed beforehand.
