Carbonlinked
About the Company
Carbonlinked democratizes compliance carbon credits.
Right now the barriers are too high for the public to buy and trade mandatory carbon credits. This is a problem because it leads to a distorted price that does not reflect the genuine cost of greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbonlinked solves this by tokenizing credits onto the Arbitrum network. Anyone with internet access and ether can buy, trade and sell carbonlinked tokens.
We currently offer NZC - our first token that is completely collateralized by New Zealand Emission Units (NZUs).
NZUs are the currency of New Zealand's Emissions Trading Scheme and represent the right for an emitter to release one ton of greenhouse gas in New Zealand.
Buying carbonlinked tokens has two advantages:
1) Speculative Gain - Each NZC is completely collateralized and redeemable for NZUs. Thereby giving the holder synthetic exposure to NZUs.
2) Drives Climate Action - Buying NZC reduces the net supply of NZUs. The reduction in supply makes NZUs more expensive, creating an economic incentive for emitting businesses to decarbonize.
