Enhanced Transparency: Blockchain-based tracking ensures credits are auditable and credible. You can integrate any additional MRV sources, including satellite imaging, sensor data, and other essential data sources that verify the project’s impact.
Marketplace Access: Directly list, manage, and sell credits on the Carbonmark platform or via our API.
Support for Novel Methodologies: Perfect for innovative projects that don't fit in traditional registries, such as Ocean fertilization, Direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS), Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), Ocean alkalinity enhancement, Enhanced rock weathering, nature-based removals not utilizing currently deployed methodologies, etc.
Built on Trust and Innovation
Carbonmark Direct can be integrated with digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) technology to create dynamic carbon credit tokens that can be updated with new data in real-time. By generating carbon credit tokens natively on a blockchain platform, it becomes possible to create dynamic tokens that reflect the true value of the underlying environmental asset.
