About Standard Carbon
We’re the team behind the only turnkey Local Law 97 solution that actually cuts emissions, without construction, confusion, or delays.
A Smarter Path to Local Law 97 Compliance
At Standard Carbon, we specialize in helping New York City building owners comply with Local Law 97 (LL97), without the need for disruptive retrofits or high-cost electrification projects. We understand that property managers, co-op boards, and landlords across the city are now facing aggressive carbon limits under the Climate Mobilization Act, and many are unsure where to begin.
Solutions by Standard Carbon
Standard Carbon is an energy company built on hardware: machines that convert CO₂ into pipeline-grade natural gas. Our leadership team has deep roots in NYC’s real estate and energy infrastructure sectors. Our team has worked with buildings across NYC on benchmarking, audits and emissions planning.
We saw firsthand that most Local Law 97 solutions on the market were limited to engineering reports or costly electrification proposals, so we built something different.
Practical Tools. Real Results.
Our Local Law 97 solutions are centered around three practical pillars:
StandardRNG™: a certified low-carbon, renewable natural gas that blends with existing utility gas and brings your building under the emissions threshold with no physical retrofits.
StandardRNG+™: our turnkey biogenic-based low-carbon fuel, with a carbon intensity (CI) score as low as -300. It blends seamlessly with existing systems and helps meet emissions targets without retrofits, downtime, or capital-intensive infrastructure changes.
Carbon Bridge™: an on-site system that converts your building’s CO₂ into pipeline-grade gas, using time-of-use electricity, taking you to net-zero without replacing your boilers, cogeneration units, radiators or other existing systems.
Together, these technologies give you the flexibility to meet LL97 today and prepare for future reductions through 2030, 2040, and 2050 without the cost, confusion, or disruption of traditional electrification.
The Carbon Bridge™ Difference
Carbon Bridge™ isn’t just a product. It’s a smarter decarbonization platform. Unlike standard electrification, which often increases strain on the grid and operating costs, Carbon Bridge™ uses time-of-use electricity to reduce emissions and utility expenses. It’s a scalable solution that brings large-scale power plant performance to the building level with zero tenant disruption. Our first NYC Carbon Bridge™ is running at the City College of New York, with deployments lined up across schools, multifamily and commercial buildings. Our team is working closely with engineers from many companies to ensure seamless deployment, validation, and support.
Our Mission: Compliance Without Compromise
We created Standard Carbon to give every building, not just luxury high-rises, a fair shot at staying compliant. If you’re worried about Local Law 97, we’re here to help you understand your options, avoid penalties, and unlock a clear, affordable path forward.
