TerraNova builds the installation’s emissions baseline to CBAM methodology, assembles the carbon-price evidence file, and returns a financed abatement plan that shrinks the border charge. Where emissions cannot yet be cut, Canopy covers residuals and removals — the reduce and the balance side of net zero, in one workflow.
