Kerry’s Energy Transition Accelerator is good news for the carbon market

John Kerry, the United States’ climate envoy, unveiled the Energy Transition Accelerator yesterday (November 9) at COP27: a carbon offset plan that comes as the vote of confidence the market needed. The Energy Transition Accelerator is a public-private initiative to fund renewable energy projects through carbon offsets, with the purpose of of accelerating the clean energy transition in developing countries. As our CEO Francisco Benedito said in a letter to the editor published in the Financial Times on November 10, the initiative is exactly what the carbon market needs. Private capital at the service of climate action Announcing the program at COP27, Kerry said the noted that the Energy Transition Accelerator is a way for private capital to support the work of governments and NGOs in transitioning to renewable energy sources. “Our administration is working as hard as we can to deliver on President Biden’s pledge to quadruple U.S. climate support by 2024. We are absolutely committed to doing our part. But no government in the world has enough money to get this job done. We will only succeed with a massive infusion of private capital,” he noted. Under the scheme, developing countries could generate carbon credits by shutting down fossil fuel-based power plants and adopting cleaner energy sources. These credits could then be sold to global corporations looking to offset their own emissions. Transparency will be key to success At a time when the credibility of carbon offsets is sometimes put into question, Kerry’s initiative confirms the validity of this climate finance mechanism, when implemented transparently. But as Benedito explains in his letter to this editor, the real work begins now. “For this program to work, it must be executed with precision and transparency. Companies that purchase these credits will want to know from which country and decarbonization initiative they were generated, and they will ask for a guarantee that credits cannot be sold more than once,” he explains. Of course, blockchain technology can support these efforts as reliable infrastructure that allows stakeholders to trace carbon offsetting transactions, increasing trust, transparency and credibility in the market. We at ClimateTrade hope that the Energy Transition Accelerator will follow best practices and leverage the technical and commercial expertise of the entire carbon market ecosystem.

ClimateTrade milestones from COP26 to COP27

Action and implementation are key priorities at COP27. Luckily, fast and ambitious action is our daily commitment at ClimateTrade. Here are some of the milestones we have accomplished between COP26 and COP27. This year’s Conference of the Parties is fast approaching, and with climate change accelerating, stakeholders from all spheres of society have their eyes on concrete actions. COP27’s slogan is ‘Together for Implementation’, a clear sign that it is time to put words into practice. Where to find ClimateTrade at COP27 Request a meeting with our team in Sharm el-Sheikh At ClimateTrade, we’ve always believed in actions more than in words, and one of our core values is ambition: We want to change the world and that can only be done by thinking big. As a result, moonshots are our daily thoughts. In the year from COP26 to COP27, we have taken big steps in three key areas: the promotion of transparent carbon markets, the enhancement of climate finance, and the protection of nature and biodiversity. From COP26 to COP27: Transparent carbon markets Improving the transparency of carbon markets is our core purpose here at ClimateTrade. here are three ways in which we promoted this objective over the past year: Blockchain decarbonization First, we worked with Algorand to make this blockchain network and its entire ecosystem carbon-neutral. Algorand is already the greenest blockchain network, having reduced its energy use tremendously. In December last year, we launched the Green Treasury, a blockchain oracle providing Algorand and its developer community a platform for offsetting the carbon footprint of the entire Algorand network. Since then, we have also started working with several members of the Algorand ecosystem to help them achieve carbon neutrality. We believe that blockchain technology is key to making the voluntary carbon market as transparent as possible. On blockchain infrastructure, all transactions are traceable and immutable, which means double counting is virtually impossible. But this technology comes with a heavy carbon footprint, which could easily defeat its transparent sustainability purpose. By decarbonizing the blockchain ecosystem, we make sure that transparency doesn’t cause collateral damage. Digital Measurement, Reporting and Verification In February 2022, ClimateTrade and BME concluded a successful proof of concept (PoC) for the digital certification of carbon mitigation projects. The initiative laid the bases for digitizing the verification and certification process for projects that generate carbon credits, and for adding them to national registries. Our goal with this is to make the entire process more efficient and transparent, and to guarantee the quality of the carbon credit supply. Digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (D-MRV) is an end-to-end solution that guarantees the authenticity and traceability of carbon credits: project developers can register their mitigation in a public and traceable way, allowing all users to verify the integrity of data. This facilitates the transparent purchase of carbon credits and their automated cancellation. International Emissions Trading Association membership Finally, we recently joined the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA). Our membership allows us to be part of international efforts to create effective and transparent market-based trading systems for carbon emissions and advance the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. From COP26 to COP27: Enhanced climate finance One of ClimateTrade’s missions is to direct flows of capital towards climate change mitigation. We believe that it is necessary to shift the global economy towards a sustainable model to truly protect the future of the planet. To this end, we have taken several key actions in the past year. More than 12,000 carbon offsetting transactions To date, ClimateTrade has facilitated the offsetting of more than 3 million tons of CO2, and since COP26 alone, more than 12,000 transactions have occurred on our marketplace, directing much needed funding towards climate-positive projects. Improved marketplace We have also made design and operational improvements to our climate marketplace, which is now being used by more than 11,000 users. The more people and companies use our marketplace, the more capital will be available for sustainable projects. International expansion Finally, we have opened new offices in Miami and Seoul and participated in more than 100 events to raise awareness about the need for decarbonization worldwide. As part of this thought leadership work, we have also published four different white papers and eBooks to support companies’ Net Zero strategies. From COP26 to COP27: Biodiversity and nature protection Climate action is about much more than just decarbonization; that’s why ClimateTrade has been working particularly hard in the past year to promote nature and biodiversity conservation. Voluntary Biodiversity Credits In May 2022, we joined forces with Terrasos to commercialize Voluntary Biodiversity Credits from the Bosque de Niebla – El Globo Habitat Bank on our marketplace. Each credit corresponds to 30 years of conservation and/or restoration of 10m2 of the Bosque de Niebla, home of threatened species such as the spectacled bear, the yellow-eared parrot, and the black-and-chestnut eagle. Since then, more than 100 credits have been sold on our platform, and this initiative has been recognized by the World Economic Forum. Nature-based solutions Our marketplace currently features more than 30 nature-based solution projects, which capture or avoid carbon through forest, soil and biodiversity protection. We make a constant effort to ensure that we offer carbon mitigation projects that also bring added biodiversity benefits. Blue carbon and regenerative agriculture As part of our research and development work, we have teamed up with several new partners to develop methodologies for blue and white carbon, as well as regenerative agriculture. One of these initiatives is the recently announced Albufera Blue Carbon, in which we are working with Valencia’s CE/R+S (Responsible and Sustainable Companies Association) to quantify the carbon mitigation potential of peatlands in the Valencian Community. To find out more about what we have been up to since COP26, check out our announcements page.

ClimateTrade and CE/R+S launch the Albufera Blue Carbon Project ‘Albluefera’

The Albufera Blue Carbon project leverages nature-based solutions for carbon offsetting in the Albufera Natural Park. Valencia, November 3, 2022 – ClimateTrade, the blockchain-based climate marketplace, and the Club of Responsible and Sustainable Companies of the Valencian Community today presented the Albufera Blue Carbon project – ‘Albluefera’ – in the Port of Catarroja. The presentation coincided with UNESCO’s International Day for Biosphere Reserves: both CE/R+S and ClimateTrade support the declaration of the Albufera as a biosphere reserve, a title towards which the city has been working for several years. The two entities have signed a collaboration agreement to offset the carbon footprint of Valencian businesses through Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) in the peatlands and surrounding agricultural areas of the Albufera Natural Park. Only companies associated with CE/R+S will join this initiative, so that they can store carbon in the wetland ecosystem through the Blue Carbon methodology, generating a positive impact on the mitigation and adaptation of the climate crisis while offsetting their emissions. Lorena García, Director of CE/R+S, comments: “This is an ambitious and innovative project that will allow our companies to move towards meeting their established decarbonization objectives; as well as contribute to the conservation of our natural area.” Valencian companies Hidraqua and Vickyfoods were among the participants in the launch. José Lindo, Co-Founder of ClimateTrade, added: “At ClimateTrade we work to achieve proximity in carbon sequestration projects. It is important that our companies understand the need to radically reduce their emissions through decarbonization strategies and, when the time comes, work on projects based on nature and regenerative agriculture, linking green employment and decarbonization at the local level.” Natural carbon sinks Marine and coastal ecosystems such as wetlands, peatlands, mangroves, and seagrass beds represent large natural carbon sinks, making it crucial to restore and conserve them to achieve regional and global climate goals. The generation of carbon credits via Blue Carbon projects makes it possible to finance their conservation and restoration. The Albufera Blue Carbon project will cover all the actions that support these ecosystems and the services they provide within the Valencian Community, to respond to various challenges of society such as climate change, food security or the risk of natural disasters. Among other actions, the strategy includes joint leadership on the entire cycle of the CO2 sequestration and mitigation in the wetlands, the development of the mitigation project through the analysis of opportunities for the Measurement, Reporting and annual Verification of the reduction of emissions, dialogue with validating bodies for project certification, and the final sale of authorized Blue Carbon carbon credits through the ClimateTrade blockchain platform.

Top 5 expectations from COP27

With the world’s largest climate event just around the corner and extreme weather events already causing mayhem around the globe, expectations are at their peak this year. Here are the five advances ClimateTrade expects from the event in Sharm el-Sheikh. 1. Full acceptance of the work of the Integrity Council for Voluntary Carbon Markets The Integrity Council for Voluntary Carbon Markets (ICVCM) is doing tremendous work to bring together the entire carbon ecosystem in setting clear guidelines on carbon credit quality and the functioning of the overall market. It is not easy work, and the Council’s attempt to define Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) has been met with resistance, with certain market players, such as Verra, noting that the process being put in place to guarantee the quality of carbon credits would be “unworkable”. We at ClimateTrade firmly believe in the necessity to build integrity in carbon markets, and that will not be possible without the buy-in of all market participants in initiatives like the ICVCM. In response to Verra’s statement, our co-founder and head of impact José Lindo said to Carbon Pulse: “In my opinion, we are overly focusing on the ‘how’, i.e carbon integrity processes, and rather we should start the debate from the ‘why’ i.e the purpose served by the CCPs, and reflect on legitimate requirements voiced by countries, scientists, environmental organizations, indigenous communities and, obviously, voluntary carbon market players.” For this reason, we expect the Conference of the Parties to reaffirm the role of the ICVCM in helping align carbon credit supply with quality and transparency expectations. 2. Final definition of the Paris Agreement’s Article 6 rules Last year in Glasgow, countries clarified some of the rules of Article 6, the part of the Paris Agremeent that governs the functioning of carbon trading between countries. For instance, it was decided that to avoid double counting, the country where the mitigation project is based holds the power to decide whether the credits should go towards its own Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) or be sold internationally, in which case it would be listed as a credit on its records. Negotiations also clarified which of the credits generated under the Clean Development Mechanism (the Paris Agreement’s predecessor) could be brought over to the new system, and set up some rules around taxing carbon trading transactions. But much remains to be defined for Article 6 to become operational. In particular, we expect this year’s conference to determine the mechanisms that will govern the use of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs), the units meant to be used for the international emissions trading between Parties to the Paris Agreement. 3. Regulating the registration of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Equally, the system for calculating and registering Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the emissions reductions countries decide to achieve every five years, is currently not regulated, which can lead to wide variations in ambition between countries. ClimateTrade expects COP27 negotiations to define rules as to how these contributions are calculated, communicated and adjusted. 4. No changes in Paris Agreement signatories The current geopolitical landscape, particularly the Ukraine-Russia war, could put the future of the Paris Agreement at stake. As seen with the withdrawal of the U.S. from the agreement following the election of Donald Trump, governments have the potential to weaponize the world’s emissions reduction goals to achieve their political ambitions. We hope this year’s Conference of the Parties will see no changes in Paris Agreement signatories or faltering in their commitments. 5. Inclusion of biodiversity in carbon market discussions As our understanding of climate change grows and climate action matures, it is becoming evident that biodiversity protection should be part of the carbon equation. This year will be the 15th edition of the UN Biodiversity Conference, which has been run alongside the climate change conference so far. We expect COP27 to mark a turning point in the way countries approach these two areas of sustainability, and a recognition that the two are inextricably linked. ClimateTrade is already working to protect biodiversity in the same way carbon is offset (through voluntary biodiversity credits) and we believe the nascent nature protection credit system could learn a lot from the development of a working carbon market.

Discussing the future of climate tech at VERGE 22

ClimateTrade will be attending and speaking at VERGE 22, the climate tech event organized by Greenbiz in San Jose, California, October 25-27. As an industry leader, ClimateTrade is proud to be a sponsor and speaker at the world’s leading climate tech event, VERGE 22. The purpose of this event is to accelerate solutions to the most pressing challenges of our time, and we are looking forward to discussing those in detail. A leader in six strategic areas VERGE 22 is organized in six strategic themes – clean energy, sustainable transportation, carbon removal, regenerative food systems, net-zero buildings and the startup ecosystem – and ClimateTrade contributes to all six of these. We support the development of clean energy by offering renewable projects and renewable energy certificates (RECs) on our marketplace; we partner with transportation companies to help them mitigate their climate impact; we are joining forces with players in the regenerative food ecosystem to investigate carbon farming; we are a strong carbon neutrality partner in the construction sector, having developed a specialized carbon footprint calculator; and we are deeply involved in the startup ecosystem in Valencia, Miami and beyond. For all these reasons, we look forward to being a conversation leader at the Greenbiz event. Panel: New technologies and strategies for communicating carbon data to consumers – 26/10, 2.45pm PDT Our CEO Francisco Benedito is a speaker on this panel of leaders behind some of the new experiments with carbon labels, who will share what we do and don’t know about the power of labels to impact consumer choice. What would happen if the carbon embodied in a laptop or a sofa or even a packet of chips were displayed on the product’s label? Measuring embodied carbon is notoriously difficult, but supply chains are slowly becoming more transparent and consumer demand for environmental data is growing. These forces have prompted companies large and small to experiment with labels that detail the emissions created in the manufacture of a product. The big question now is how consumers will react. Benedito will bring ClimateTrade’s perspective from our partnership with Santander Bank on its new carbon footprint feature, available on the webpage and app. Live carbon offsetting at the ClimateTrade booth Additionally, we are bringing innovation to our event booth! VERGE 22 participants can find us at booth 113 to experience our whitelabel solution, calculating and offsetting the footprint of their event attendance. If you haven’t yet, you can still register to attend VERGE 22 here.

UIA International Forum 2022 moves towards carbon neutrality

The agreement signed between ClimateTrade and the UIA International Forum 2022 will drive dozens of affordable housing events towards carbon neutrality, strengthening global efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through this collaboration, the Affordable Housing Activation (AHA) event in Madrid on May 18-20 will be made carbon-neutral, and side event organizers will be incentivized to calculate and offset their carbon footprint. The UIA International Forum 2022, named ‘Affordable Housing Activation Removing Barriers’, promotes a collaborative and innovative framework to improve housing affordability in the world, which is part of SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Between January and May 2022, dozens of events will be organized in different regions and countries, and they will be supported by Spain’s architecture association CSCAE, the Forum’s organizer, to reach carbon neutrality through CO2 emissions offset. This means that the Forum is effectively targeting SDG 11 and SDG 13 (Climate Action) through the same project. The Forum will be concluded in the Spanish capital with AHA Madrid, the emissions of which will be calculated and offset through the financing of mitigation projects on ClimateTrade’s marketplace. Angela Baldellou, executive director of the AHA Forum, notes: “With this initiative, we are supporting international side event organizers on their path towards more sustainable events and actions, by enabling the offset of their carbon footprint. To achieve this, we can count on ClimateTrade’s collaboration to make the processes simpler and more digital, opening the doors to the world of environmental projects for participating companies and allowing them to contribute without intermediaries. It is fundamental to raise awareness, mitigate climate change and offer coherent responses to the multiple-crisis scenario we are facing: affordability responses cannot go against sustainability goals. Quite the opposite: when we create an activist movement, it needs to go in the same direction as the others and contribute to complete sustainability.” Moreover, these events will be presented in a hybrid online/in-person format, cutting their emissions by 50-60% compared to purely physical events. Francisco Martín, Head of Engineering and Key Account Manager at ClimateTrade, adds: “We are excited about this new collaboration with CSCAE, through which AHA’s main event and its side events can benefit from our company’s experience in international events and congresses in the US, Argentina and Spain, among others.” About CSCAE Created in 1931, Spain’s Architect Association (Consejo Superior de los Colegios de Arquitectos de España or CSCAE) is an entity gathering all architect associations in Spain for the promotion of architecture and the pursuit of common objectives. It represents these associations and the more than 47,000 professional architects working in Spain for public and private corporations, as well as for international organizations. The association recently launched a carbon footprint calculator for the construction sector. For more information www.cscae.com. About ClimateTrade ClimateTrade is a Spanish-based climate marketplace helping global brands achieve their sustainability goals by offsetting CO2 emissions and financing climate regenerative projects. Pioneering the development of its blockchain marketplace, ClimateTrade recently launched an API and a Widget that allow companies to offer carbon-neutral products and services to their customers.

Covid-19 lessons on how to fight climate change

The pandemic has taught us a lot about what truly matters to us humans: health, connection and solidarity. But what can Covid-19 teach us about how to fight climate change? GHG emissions At the beginning of the crisis, all corporate efforts went towards the survival of their business: contingency plans had to be put in place to handle the unexpected slowdown in activities, and sustainability took a back seat (luckily, companies’ attention is now turning once again towards achieving net zero emissions). But at the same time, the lockdowns put in place throughout 2020 led to a 6-7% year-on-year drop in fossil fuel emissions compared to 2019 – the first global drop in emissions since the 2008 global financial crisis. This reduction was led by the transport sector, which screeched to a halt amidst lockdowns and border closures. Along with the drop in human activity and air pollution, blissful images of dolphins in Venice’s canals became a symbol of nature’s ability to thrive if we give it space. The trend was short-lived, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions returned to pre-pandemic levels in 2021, but it showed us that drastic action from governments can result in rapid improvements in the fight against climate change. Human adaptability Another thing the pandemic taught us is how adaptable we are in the face of crisis. In just a few months, governments put emergency legislation in place to contain the pandemic, set up temporary hospitals and focused all efforts on finding a vaccine, which took just under a year. Almost all office work moved online during lockdown, changing the way the world collaborates and reducing the need for travel. Events shifted towards a flexible hybrid model that remains in place today and is helping the sector curb its carbon footprint. The crisis led us to change our habits, and this had an overall positive effect on the planet. We should take this as encouragement and maintain some of the new habits acquired during the pandemic now that we are getting used to the new normal. Think about limiting air travel, working from home when possible, and generally consuming less. Emergency status The biggest lesson learned from the Covid-19 pandemic is that when we treat something as an emergency and focus all our efforts on dealing with it, we are able to come up with quick and efficient responses. We need to treat climate change as the emergency that it is, foster public-private collaboration and support powerful policies and social involvement to create the resilient systems our planet and future generations need. It is time to build an economy geared towards sustainable practices. An economy that works for both people and the planet. This is our purpose at ClimateTrade: we are leading a global change, helping companies achieve carbon neutrality by providing transparent and traceable financing to certified climate mitigation projects around the world.

Do you know the difference between zero-carbon and carbon-neutral?

Sustainability comes with its own terminology, and some terms are more similar than others. In this article, we explain the difference between carbon zero and carbon neutral. Carbon Zero We speak of Carbon Zero when there is no production of carbon emissions derived from a product or service, that is, no carbon was emitted from the first moment, so it is not necessary to capture or offset the carbon. For example, a domestic or commercial building that is off the grid, runs entirely on solar energy, and uses zero fossil fuels. Carbon neutral Being “carbon neutral” means removing as much CO2 from the atmosphere as we emit, that is, having a balance between carbon emission and carbon absorption from the atmosphere. To achieve carbon neutrality, the first thing we must do is reduce our carbon footprint through a change in habits and consumption. Your company can also achieve this goal. Initially, critical points in your carbon footprint must be identified and measures taken to reduce those emissions. Some actions can be: Keep energy usage to a minimum or switch to renewable energy, which do not produce carbon dioxide. Limit travel and promote other meeting alternatives, such as video conferencing. Promote electronic communications, reduce paper use and print only when absolutely necessary and try to reuse these prints. Recycle by properly sorting the waste. However, in addition to reducing the carbon footprint, to become carbon neutral what you must do is offset the emissions that cannot be reduced. How? We can help! At Climatetrade we want to give everyone the possibility of offsetting their carbon footprint by supporting sustainable projects that help to mitigate the effects of climate change or those that directly have a positive impact on the environment. We offer you a simple way to offset your carbon footprint, through carbon credits, supporting environmental projects around the world, mainly in emerging countries, with the aim of balancing your own carbon footprints, expressed in tons of CO2 emitted to the atmosphere.
