What makes an investment into Carbon Credits so different from stocks, bonds, crypto currencies, etc.? All those follow market driven supply and demand, economic cycles and continuous ups and downs.

The valuation of Carbon Credits follows the undisruptable demand driven by worldwide legislation to curb CO2 emissions plus the growing public understanding to provide financial means for greenhouse gas reduction.

The only way is up!

on the VER Carbon Market

It is common understanding that investments in carbon neutralizing projects are helping each one of us reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to the fight against global warming. Our endeavour is to show that climate saving investments are not merely an expense for a noble venture but can and should be significantly profitable for the investor’s portfolio.

Technology that we trust

Why Blockchain?

As you surely know the blockchain is the underlying technology of crypto currencies like the Bitcoin. Beyond crypto currencies this technology is and will be disrupting many industries and must be mandatory standard for the safe trade of carbon offsets (credits) for very important reasons:

Decentralisation

One of the biggest dangers in our current trading and financial system is that most of it are heavily centralized. This makes it an easy prey to attacks, failures, and security breaches that can shut down the entire market place at once.

Bitcoin, the first practical implementation of blockchain, was created after the 2008 financial crisis with the belief that a handful of institutions and people could not be trusted with the world’s finance.

Blockchain offers applications with decentralized solutions that aim to create an internal system of checks and balances.

Automation

Decentralization does not mean more work or oversight is required. In fact, the opposite is true. Due to the self-checking and self-validating nature of blockchain applications, automatic contracts and transactions can be queued and carried out automatically. Since they are controlled by pre-programmed logic, they will securely complete as multiple network confirmations are required for each transaction.

Transparency

In its simplest form, a blockchain is just a ledger that records every detail of every transaction. Millions of users across the globe have access to this ledger. Furthermore, data can only be written to a blockchain when all validators confirm a transaction. As a result, there is no one person or institution in charge of your assets.

In terms of Voluntary Carbon Credits (VER) it is in the interest of both the investor to be the only holder of the Credit and the overall purpose of the investment to guarantee the Credit is not held by multiple investors diminishing both the certified carbon offset and endangering the holder’s assets.

What is a Carbon Emission Right?

A carbon right (also carbon credit or offset) is a tradable permit or certificate that grants the holder of the credit the right to emit one ton of carbon dioxide or an equivalent of another greenhouse gas. The creation of carbon credits is aimed at the reduction of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from industrial activities to reduce the effects of global warming.

The Kyoto Protocol and recent agreements as the European Union 2030 Climate Target Plan set obligations for producers of greenhouse gases to cut emissions or purchase carbon credits at market rates to reach the agreed goals of minimization of greenhouse gases emission. For some companies, the immediate reduction of the emission is not economically viable. Companies that achieve the carbon offsets (reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases) are usually rewarded with additional carbon credits.

There are two types of credits

Certified emissions reduction (CER)

Emission units (also called offsets or credits) created through a regulatory framework with the purpose of offsetting a project’s emissions. The main difference between CERs and VERs is that there is a third party (government) certifying body that regulates the CER.

Voluntary emissions reduction (VER)

A carbon credit or offset that is exchanged in the over-the-counter or voluntary market for credits as opposed to the regulated CER market.
