Mission Statement:
To accelerate the global transition to a net-zero future by pioneering high-impact carbon reduction solutions.
Our Vision:
A world where Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology is standard practice in CO₂e removal, paving the way for a sustainable, net-zero future. By utilizing high-quality carbon credits as a financing vehicle, we enable the rapid deployment of DAC plants and support both nature-based and technology-based carbon reduction projects further reducing greenhouse gases present in our atmosphere.
Our Guiding Principles:
1. Innovation: We drive positive change by staying at the forefront of clean technology.
2. Integrity: We operate with transparency, honesty, accountability, and a commitment to positive environmental impact.
3. Collaboration: We partner with innovators, stakeholders, and communities to create solutions that benefit both people and our planet.
Objective:
Green Earth Carbon Solutions aims to fund and scale DAC plant construction by facilitating the sale of premium-quality carbon credits. Through partnerships with the Tianjin Climate Exchange, we provide nature-based carbon credits to support initial funding, while our DAC facilities generate high-value credits upon completion. This approach builds a circular economic model where each plant finances the next.
We believe that by leveraging existing high-quality nature-based and tech-based carbon credits at a premium price point, we can:
Strategic Goals
Leveraging existing high-quality nature-based and tech-based carbon credits at a premium price point, we can:
1. Accelerate DAC adoption: By providing a reliable and scalable source of funding for our own DAC plant deployments, thereby increasing the pace of CO2 removal from our atmosphere.
2. Maximize environmental impact: Our focus on high-quality nature-based and tech-based carbon credits ensures that every credit counts towards meaningful emissions reductions, driving real-world change.
3. Support clean tech innovation: By investing in nature-based projects through our brokerage services, we are fostering a culture of experimentation and growth within the DAC space through our sale of nature-based/tech-based credits funding our DAC initiatives.
High-Quality Standards:
Green Earth Carbon Solutions only brokers nature-based & technology-based carbon credits/offsets from projects that meet the following high-quality criteria:
We only facilitate the sale of carbon credits that meet specific criteria:
- All Carbon Credits are third-party verified (e.g., Verra, Gold Standard).
- Meet rigorous environmental and social standards.
- Ensure minimal impact on local communities and ecosystems.
- Demonstrate clear, measurable greenhouse gas reductions.
By adhering to these standards, Green Earth Carbon Solutions ensures our credits contribute to protecting ecosystems, promoting sustainable land use, and supporting global climate goals.
By focusing on these specific types of nature-based carbon credits, Green Earth Carbon Solutions helps to:
1. Protect critical ecosystems: By preserving forests, wetlands, and coastal ecosystems, we safeguard biodiversity hotspots and maintain ecosystem services essential for human well-being.
2. Support sustainable land-use practices: Sustainable land-use practices play a crucial role in carbon sequestration, which is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric CO2. Here are some effective sustainable land-use practices that can help:
A. Afforestation/Reforestation: Planting new forests or restoring degraded ones helps to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
B. Agroforestry: Integrating trees into agricultural landscapes promotes biodiversity, reduces soil erosion, and sequesters carbon in soils and biomass.
C. Perennial cropping systems: Growing perennial crops like grasses, alfalfa, or fruit trees can help build soil organic matter and reduce tillage, leading to increased carbon storage.
D. Conservation agriculture: This approach involves minimal disturbance of the soil, permanent soil cover, and crop rotations to promote soil health and sequester carbon.
E. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS): Producing energy from biomass (e.g., crops or waste) while capturing and storing CO2 emissions can be a net-negative-carbon-emission strategy.
F. Soil conservation: Implementing practices like contour farming, terracing, and cover cropping helps reduce soil erosion, promotes soil health, and increases carbon storage in soils.
G. Integrated livestock agriculture: Grazing animals on perennial grasslands or integrating them into agricultural systems can promote soil carbon sequestration while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from animal production.
H. Urban forestry: Planting trees in urban areas not only helps to mitigate the urban heat island effect but also absorbs CO2 and produces oxygen.
I. Wetland restoration: Restoring degraded wetlands or creating new ones can help store carbon in soils, vegetation, and aquatic ecosystems while providing habitat for biodiversity.
J. Sustainable grazing practices: Implementing rotational grazing systems that mimic natural grazing patterns can promote soil health, increase carbon storage, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock production.
Nature Based Project Targets:
To maximize the effectiveness of these sustainable land-use practices in carbon sequestration:
- Integrate multiple practices: Combine different practices to achieve greater benefits than a single practice alone.
- Monitor and verify: Regularly monitor and verify the carbon sequestration outcomes of your chosen practices to ensure their effectiveness.
- Scale up: Implement these practices at larger scales, such as farm or landscape levels, to maximize their impact on carbon sequestration.
- Incorporate climate-resilient crops: Planting climate-resilient crop varieties can help maintain agricultural productivity in the face of climate change while promoting carbon sequestration.
By adopting and scaling up these sustainable land-use practices, we can effectively contribute to global efforts to mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration.
