Jan. 2021 - Oct. 2022South Carolina, United StatesA Broken System. A New Approach. To reach Paris Climate Accord targets, it is estimated 50 billion tonnes of CO2 will need to be captured and permanently stored by 2050. Unfortunately, current approaches to carbon offsetting and emissions trading are plagued by poor measurability, lax standards for the issuance and trading of credits, lack of consumer participation, and a reliance on inefficient methods of CO2 reduction and removal. CarbonKerma sets a new standard. We’ve created a new blockchain-based approach to carbon offsetting that can be easily measured, reliably verified, and scaled to meet the immense size of the challenge. This new approach combines proven technologies in a unique way to create an equitable and sustainable economic engine that will benefit businesses, global citizens, and the planet. MEASURABLE
With CarbonKerma, capturing and sequestering one tonne of carbon leads to the minting of one CarbonKerma token. That means emitting organizations can buy and burn CarbonKerma tonne-for-tonne, without relying on complex, imprecise offset calculations tied to intermittent renewable energies and tree plantings. VERIFIABLE
CarbonKerma tokens are minted and awarded based on verified certificates of sink. The capturing and permanent storage of CO2 required to earn these certificates is recorded by sophisticated metering systems and regulated, monitored, and audited by international environmental organizations and global carbon capture experts. SCALABLE
Unlike traditional carbon offset programs, CarbonKerma’s digitization of CO2 facilitates the open participation of consumers and corporations alike. Hard-to-mitigate emitting industries that find government incentives inadequate will have a new source of revenue to cover capital expenses and rapidly scale the deployment of today’s highly effective carbon capture technologies.
