Searock simulates a functioning cap-and-trade system where you manage Helios Industries across quarterly reporting periods. Your company generates emissions based on production volume, energy intensity, and fossil fuel share. You must balance revenue targets against quota costs that fluctuate based on market supply and demand mechanics.
Choose from five categories of emissions-reducing technologies spanning Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, and CO2 Capture. Each investment reduces your baseline emissions by a percentage while requiring upfront capital. Payback periods range from 3 to 7 quarters, forcing strategic choices between immediate profit and long-term sustainability.
Every period closes with emissions tallied against held quotas. Uncovered emissions trigger financial penalties calculated per tonne of excess CO2. Coverage above 100% earns compliance bonuses and boosts your Eco rating, which unlocks achievements and affects market conditions in future cycles through the difficulty scaling system.
Track live quota prices per tonne CO2, execute manual buy/sell orders with adjustable volumes, or use one-tap deficit coverage. Recent price charts show market trends across periods to inform your trading strategy.
Monitor Helios Industries across key metrics: emissions output, active user base, efficiency rating, production volume, energy intensity, and fossil fuel dependency. Adjust industry type and strategy presets to shift baseline parameters.
Browse technologies filtered by category—Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, CO2 Capture, Process Optimization. Each card shows emissions reduction percentage, payback period in quarters, upfront cost, and current ROI projection.
Run complete reporting periods in one flow: forecast emissions based on production plan, execute quota trades to cover deficit, close the period and tally financial results. Automated workflow saves time while teaching sequence logic.
Review closed periods with bar charts showing profit, emissions, quota price, and Eco rating trends. Project ROI section tracks invested technologies with payback timelines. Cycle history provides detailed breakdowns of every decision.
Unlock 10 achievements spanning trading milestones, technology investments, profit targets, compliance streaks, and emissions reductions. Gain XP to advance through levels, unlocking harder scenarios and expanded capabilities.
Searock was created by an independent studio focused on educational simulations that teach complex economic systems through interactive gameplay. The carbon trading mechanics mirror real-world cap-and-trade programs used in emissions regulation globally. Version 1.0.1 represents the initial iOS release with ongoing updates planned for expanded scenarios and multiplayer trading features.
