Karbon-X Corp. (OTCQX: KARX), a climate solutions company, is partnering with Directions Group Inc., a Canadian clean energy consultancy, to launch a new residential solar carbon project in Alberta. This initiative is designed to help homeowners who install solar panels generate verified carbon offset credits that are eligible under Alberta’s Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) program, one of the country’s main compliance carbon pricing systems.
The heart of this partnership is simple, when Alberta homeowners install solar photovoltaic systems, they’ll be able to create tradeable carbon offset credits. These credits can then be sold to large industrial emitters, who use them to meet their obligations under the TIER regulation. For homeowners, it’s a chance to turn their investment in solar into a new revenue stream. For industry, it’s a way to reduce the cost of compliance, since buying offsets can be cheaper than paying carbon levies.
The TIER program itself is a cornerstone of Alberta’s climate policy, encouraging big emitters to cut their greenhouse gas emissions. If they can’t reduce emissions directly, they have the option to buy high-quality offsets, like those generated by this new residential solar project. This arrangement not only lowers compliance costs for industry, it also supports local climate solutions and gets more people involved in Alberta’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
Under the agreement, Directions Group will use its experience in clean energy sales and its network of customers to help roll out the project and engage participants. Karbon-X will handle the technical side, leading project design and making sure everything follows Alberta’s regulatory protocols for carbon offset projects under TIER. This means the carbon credits generated will be verifiable, traceable, and fully compliant with provincial rules.
Chad Clovis, Director at Karbon-X, sees this as a way to empower everyday Albertans. “We’re proud to support the development of a carbon project that empowers homeowners to contribute directly to Alberta’s climate goals,” Clovis said. “By transforming residential solar into verified carbon reductions under the TIER framework, this initiative strengthens the province’s emissions reduction strategy and supports a more inclusive and scalable compliance market.”
For solar system owners, the project opens up a new opportunity to participate in the carbon economy by turning their rooftop panels into measurable, tradeable environmental benefits.
Bryce Whittingham, Director at Directions Group, adds, “Our goal is to bring more value to solar adopters while accelerating Canada’s transition to decentralized clean energy. Together with Karbon-X, we’re able to deliver the carbon expertise and infrastructure that makes that possible.”
Karbon-X is a vertically integrated climate solutions company. It manages the full lifecycle of carbon credits, from project origination and emissions quantification to third-party validation, credit issuance, and market distribution. The company operates across several regions and sectors, supporting both compliance and voluntary carbon markets. Its services include emissions data analysis, regulatory alignment, credit commercialization, and digital infrastructure for tracking and reporting. Karbon-X emphasizes transparency and works with internationally recognized standards and verification bodies.
Directions Group Inc. is a Canadian consultancy specializing in clean energy and climate solutions. The firm has experience in residential solar and offers strategies for market entry, customer acquisition, and growth. Directions Group helps businesses across Canada build and manage sales infrastructure focused on sustainable scaling and measurable impact in the energy transition.
This collaboration between Karbon-X and Directions Group could mark a shift in how Alberta approaches both residential solar adoption and carbon markets. By connecting homeowners directly to the carbon offset market, the project aims to make climate action more accessible while supporting the province’s broader emissions reduction goals.
