Problem
Protecting threatened ecosystems and achieving carbon neutrality requires robust, verifiable carbon credits. Traditional methods often lack the precision and transparency needed to ensure the integrity of nature-based solutions, leading to concerns about permanence and additionality.
Solution
C6 Captured generates high-integrity nature-based carbon credits by integrating advanced remote-sensing technologies with rigorous on-the-ground forest inventories. Our methodology, including IBM's EIS above-ground biomass (AGB) approach, fuses satellite data and AI-driven weather pattern analysis to provide precise carbon sequestration estimates. Credits are secured on an IBM blockchain, ensuring transparency in title, monitoring, certification, and verification processes. We employ a jurisdictional approach aligned with ART's TREES standard to mitigate over-crediting, leakage, and reversal risks, thereby safeguarding credit valuation and ensuring permanence. Furthermore, significant buffer reserves are maintained to account for potential disturbances and ensure stable credit value.
Target Audience
Our primary customers are governments, Indigenous Peoples, and private landowners seeking to protect and restore forest ecosystems while generating verifiable carbon credits.
