At Carbonmark, we’re always looking for innovative ways to bring value to the carbon market and help organizations reach net zero. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new listing of index products. These innovative offerings allow you to diversify your carbon retirement efforts across various projects and locations, making your contribution even more powerful and far-reaching.
What Are Index Products?
Index products bundle multiple carbon credits from various projects worldwide into one asset. Instead of focusing your action on a single project, an index allows you to spread your impact globally, supporting diverse initiatives. For instance, when you retire one tonne of carbon using an index product, you’re not just contributing to one project or type of carbon credit. Instead, your retirement could include 500 kilograms of credits from reforestation efforts in the Amazon and another 500 kilograms from blue carbon projects in Myanmar. This approach ensures a more balanced and widespread impact and allows you to support various ecosystems and communities aligned with your climate strategy.
Why Choose Index Products?
1. Global Reach and Impact
One of the standout features of index products is their ability to create a global impact. Traditional carbon credits often focus on a single project or location, which, while beneficial, limits the scope of your contribution. With index products, your retirement efforts are distributed across multiple projects in different regions of the world. By spreading your impact, you’re supporting various ecosystems and addressing climate change on a more comprehensive, global scale.
2. Diversification for Carbon Impact Portfolio
Diversification is a well-known strategy in finance and investing, and it’s just as valuable when it comes to climate finance. By directing impact via index products, you’re diversifying your carbon impact portfolio. This means that instead of relying on the success and impact of a single project, your contribution is spread across several different initiatives.
3. Streamlined and Efficient Climate Action
Sourcing multiple individual carbon project types can be complex and time-consuming. Index products simplify this process by streamlining your carbon retirement efforts. With a single purchase, you can retire carbon across various projects, making it a more efficient and straightforward way to compensate for your emissions. This ease of use is particularly beneficial for businesses that need to manage larger carbon footprints, with varying preferences on the types of initiatives they wish to support but want to do so effectively and manageably.
4. Transparency and Accountability
Transparency is vital in carbon retirement, and Carbonmark’s index products are built with this in mind. When you purchase an index product, you receive detailed information about the projects you support, including the initiatives involved, their locations, and their specific benefits. This level of transparency allows you to see exactly where your money is going and its impact, ensuring you can confidently participate in global climate action with full awareness of your contributions.
Available index products on Carbonmark
Carbonmark offers a range of impactful index products to help you make a difference in the fight against climate change.
One of the first index products available is the MCO2 from Moss.Earth. MCO2 allows you to retire one tonne of carbon across diverse high-impact projects. By choosing MCO2, you’re supporting various nature-based projects originating in the LatAm region with a strong focus on the Amazon. Whether you’re a business looking to enhance your sustainability efforts or an individual committed to reducing your carbon footprint, MCO2 offers a flexible and impactful way to contribute.
In addition, Carbonmark now offers CCO2 from Coorest, a blockchain-based platform that simplifies carbon compensation with transparency and verifiability. Coorest issues CCO2 tokens, each representing one kilogram of CO2 captured by trees adhering to the Coorest Carbon Standard. Using Chainlink’s oracle and satellite imagery, Coorest ensures CCO2 tokens are issued only when corresponding biomass is sequestered. By tokenizing trees as NFTs (NFTrees), users can track carbon absorption in real-time, offering both immediate and long-term carbon offset options.
By exploring MCO2 and CCO2, you can use innovative solutions that foster environmental responsibility and align with global decarbonization goals.
Explore these index products today and start spreading your impact worldwide. Together, we can drive the change needed to reach carbon neutrality.
