ABOUT
Carbon As A Currency
Currently, there is no de facto central exchange for carbon credits. This asset class is not well understood or trusted because of widespread greenwashing and double-counting, resulting in lackluster, inconsistent results for all stakeholders. Additionally, it is a voice-brokered and emerging market, limiting availability and severely impacting potential.
By digitizing carbon credits and placing them on a centralized exchange with a global reach, we are turning credits into currency and making it easier for all stakeholders.

- Apply blockchain to carbon credits to track them from sale to retirement

- Digitized credits become a universal currency
- Climate Capital Network
- Connect companies to funding andto projects that generate carbon credits
- Connect nature-based carbon credit-eligible projects to funding
- Enable energy transition for countries
- Reduce reliance on extractiveon sources
