Driving Capital to CCUS Infrastructure​

CarbonKerma connects Carbon Capture and Storage (CCUS) projects and facilities with the companies and capital that fund them. Through Carbon Forward Commitments (CFC) and our digital framework for monitoring the geological sequestration process, CarbonKerma allows Capturers to invest with confidence, and Energy and Offset Buyers to secure high-quality environmental attributes and low- to no-emission power.

Four Layers. One Verified Record.

CarbonKerma helps drive the capital formation required to scale up CCUS, while ensuring full transparency over the entire journey of the capture, transport, storage, and retirement of sequestered CO2.

01 Finance

Carbon Forward Commitments

KermaForward

Multi-year commitments give CCUS projects contracted revenue they can finance against, with costs shared across the buyer’s value chain.

02 Verify

Measurement and
Tagging

Unique Carbon Tag

Each tonne is metered at injection, reviewed under a regulated MRV plan and tagged with its site, date, well and meter.

03 Record

One Token
per Tonne

CarbonKerma Token (CKT)

Each verified tonne is issued as one CKT on a public blockchain, so it can be traced end to end and is never counted twice.

04 Settle

Transfer And
Retirement

KermaExchange

Delivered tonnes are transferred, traded and retired, with an offset certificate issued for every retirement.

Why CCUS?

Permanent
Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is a proven and safe method of extracting CO2 from industrial processes and sequestering it in underground geological formations permanently.
Scalable
CCUS is the only scalable solution to meeting our global decarbonization objectives, a fact recognized by both the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Measurable & Regulated
The CO2 sequestered through CCUS is precisely measured through EPA or ISO-approved meters and the process is highly regulated by government agencies and/or ISO standards.
Shape

Why Blockchain?

Immutable
Transactions that occur on a blockchain network are immutable and cannot be altered or tampered with, providing a permanent decentralized record of transactions and carbon offset certificate data.
Transparent
All transactions and data stored on the blockchain are visible to all participants in the network and to the general public. This transparency promotes trust and accountability, ensuring a company’s offsetting activities are open and publicly auditable.
Decentralized & Secure
Public blockchains operate on a decentralized network of computers (nodes). No single entity has control over the entire network, making it resistant to centralized control or single points of failure. These networks deploy advanced cryptographic techniques to secure data and transactions.

How CarbonKerma Works

Here’s an overview of how carbon capturers (CCUS facilities) and emitters (individuals and businesses) can use CarbonKerma to meet their mutually beneficial goals.

Step 1

Carbon Measurement & Storage

Carbon is captured and stored under a regulated and standards-based process before tonnage qualifies to be listed on our Platform.

Step 2

Capturer Verification Process

For Capturers/Sinkers to be qualified to bring their tonnage onto our Platform, they must submit their EPA-approved Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) Plan and GHG Report under the Token Acquisition tab, and declare that the environmental attributes have not been previously used.

Step 3

Tokenization of Carbon Credits

Once the request is reviewed, verified, and approved by the CarbonKerma team, the submitted metric tonnes of CO2 are converted to CarbonKerma tokens (CKT) on a per-tonne basis and issued to the custody of the capturer. Each CKT is equal to one sequestered metric tonne of CO2.

Step 4

List on CarbonKerma

Using our CarbonKerma Exchange marketplace, Capturers can list their CKTs on our Platform at their desired price.

Step 5

Emitters Purchase

Carbon Emitters (Individuals and companies) Can Purchase Directly from CarbonKerma. Emitters can simply purchase the amount of CO2 they need to offset in CKTs on CarbonKerma.

Step 6

Carbon Offset

Retiring CKT Generates an Offset Certificate Buyers can offset their emissions by burning (retiring) CKT tokens. They will receive an Offset Certificate and a Unique Carbon Tag (UCT). This burning mechanism creates a permanent record of the transaction, and removes the tonnage from the Blockchain.

“We cannot simply switch off from fossil fuels to renewables. We still rely on coal, oil, and natural gas for 80% of our energy needs and developing countries rely heavily on fossil energy to power their industrialization. If we are to meet our Paris Accord goals, the wide scale deployment of CCUS, financed through a robust and trusted carbon offset market, is critical.”
