The world is recognizing that climate change is an environmental crisis threatening global prosperity.
Green House Gases make life on earth possible. But GHGs comprise a tiny fraction of the atmosphere - only 422 parts per million – or 0.042 %. Barely a trace relatively. However, that is twice the volume since pre-industrial times. The doubling has been caused by the burning of fossil fuels - as evidenced by the isoatomic compostion of today’s atmosphere.
The Zerofootprint® program calculates the carbon impact of products and services, then balances that impact with carbon offsets to certify that customers are making sustainable choices.
DIFFERENTIATION
Curated carbon assets from Canadian and World markets are selected for their inherent value and performance.
TRUST
Auditable tracking of provenance builds trust through transparency
SECURITY
CarbonX Hub uses blockchain-based transactions designed for Emissions Trading Systems.
The Zerofootprint® program begins with Canadian and US patented data collection and aggregation of your company's greenhouse gas emissions for a specific product line, device, service or investment. CarbonX will assist you in setting new targets and award a Zerofootprint® Certificate of Carbon-Neutrality once your company has achieved those targets.
Zerofootprint® was recognized by the Obama White House, the Clinton Foundation, and the government of Ontario.
CarbonXHub is a private blockchain ledger capturing IoT GHG data for reporting, management and conversion to a carbon commodity. With Emission Trading Systems or Carbon Tax programs rolling out world-wide, blockchain will be key in achieving compliance goals and opportunities for carbon asset trading.
