Greenlines Technology Inc., a climate technology company based in Vancouver, Canada, has been granted a Canadian patent for its Mobility Carbon Engine (MCE™).
The MCE™ is a digital measurement, reporting, and verification (dMRV) system designed for mobility applications. This patented technology enables mobility platforms to generate verified carbon credits by quantifying emissions reductions resulting from low-carbon transportation choices, thereby fostering both environmental sustainability and economic value. The Canadian Intellectual Property Office issued Patent Number CA 3,132,053 for the MCE™ on October 7, 2025. This patent affirms Greenlines’ approach to integrating low-carbon transport options with user movement tracking, calculating emissions reductions when users opt for sustainable alternatives such as public transit, biking, or shared mobility compared to their bespoke baselines.
David Oliver, Co-founder and CEO of Greenlines Technology, stated, “The approval of our Canadian patent marks a significant milestone for Greenlines as we broaden the reach of our MCE™. The MCE™ serves as a proven dMRV solution, enabling mobility applications to produce credits from low-carbon journeys and deliver essential financial incentives to mobility providers.” Oliver added that, in conjunction with an independently-validated greenhouse gas quantification methodology developed by Greenlines, the MCE™ empowers mobility applications to yield revenue streams when users adopt low-carbon transportation options, augmenting existing income sources like premium subscriptions, advertising, and additional services.
Greenlines initially secured U.
S. Patent US 11,774,255 B2 in 2023, which established the MCE™ as the first patented system for converting physical movements into carbon credits. The company demonstrated the system’s efficacy through a partnership with Moovit, a global mobility app serving over 1.5 billion users. In 2024, a Moovit-led carbon project, powered by Greenlines, recorded measurable greenhouse gas savings from U.
S. app users. These savings were converted into verified carbon credits via the CSA CleanProjects® Registry, showcasing the MCE™ and the associated methodology’s effectiveness.
For mobility app owners, partnering with Greenlines offers a pathway to integrate climate action into their platforms while generating new revenue. This process involves licensing the MCE™ and gaining access to Greenlines’ validated greenhouse gas quantification methodology. Greenlines provides guidance to develop a customized carbon project, which can be registered under reputable frameworks such as the International Carbon Registry (ICR), an ICROA-endorsed registry, or the CSA CleanProjects® Registry, ensuring compliance and credibility in credit generation. The MCE™ integrates into an app’s backend, automatically tracking and recording low-carbon trips. Greenlines supports the entire process from partnership agreement to the production of the first verified credits. Once generated, these high-quality credits can be sold on carbon markets, creating direct revenue that complements traditional app income streams and positions apps as leaders in decarbonization.
With the Canadian patent secured, Greenlines continues to expand its international reach, with patent applications currently underway in regions including the European Union. Greenlines Technology Inc. is committed to democratizing access to carbon markets through its advanced digital MRV systems, including the MCE™ and the E-commerce Carbon Engine (ECE™), enabling the generation of carbon credits from low-carbon transport and purchases at the Point of Sale, respectively.
