Take Climate Action. Green Your Carbon Footprint Today With DCarbon For

DCarbon enables individuals and businesses to reduce their carbon footprint with carbon credits while also participating in the DCarbon metaverse – making climate action accessible to all. The DCarbon Metaverse is based on a unique Green-To-Earn NFT mechanism.

DCarbon NFTs represent units of carbon credits or CO2 emissions that are prevented from entering the atmosphere.

1 NFT = 1 CoU (Carbon Credit) = 1 metric tonne of CO2

Carbon credit buyers on DCarbon are called Carbon Warriors. Go take some climate action and become a Carbon Warrior! To incentivize more climate action with carbon credits, DCarbon has added a gamified NFT layer. As a user buys more carbon credits over time, they level up to a higher Carbon Warrior level. A higher level means higher chances of receiving rarer NFTs.

DCarbon will partner with carbon registries, and our first partnership is with Universal Carbon Registry (UCR) in India. The registry will oversee the registration and verification of approved carbon credits – involves the protocols, standards and rules for projects, the auditing and verification through internationally certified third-party auditors/verifiers, and the credit issuance or mining guidelines. The terms of the registry indicate that the auditor (and their licence) is liable for the credits, and not the registry.

Big changes can begin with small steps, even for climate action! We encourage you to understand your carbon footprint by accessing a calculator. Ready to do more about your lifestyle choices? Check out our one-time or bundled greening packages. You can also be an advocate for climate change and share your passion to act with friends and family – climate action is a global movement.

Yes! Once the credit has been bought, a Carbon Warrior certificate will be issued which will include your carbon credit serial number, which essentially means you have green your carbon footprint depending on the quantity of credits purchased. Behind the scenes, the same credit will retire on the registry; translation: when someone purchases carbon credits, the underlying emission reduction (credit) cannot be resold or left on someone else’s balance sheet or within the control of the registry.

Carbon markets turn CO2 emissions into a commodity/tradable asset by giving it a price. You can buy carbon credits from projects that reduce, avoid or remove carbon, thus compensating for your own emissions.

Carbon offsets reduces, avoids or removes carbon emissions in one place to compensate for unavoidable emissions somewhere else through certified green-energy projects – hydro or solar power projects, wind farms and methane-recapture operations at landfills, and projects that plant trees or work toward forest preservation verified through stringent evaluation criteria by independent bodies not related to government policies or regulations (i.e. voluntary markets). A carbon offset is derived from a third-party certified project that usually generates a carbon credit aimed at the voluntary market. The biggest priority is to combat climate change by reducing emissions, but where that is not possible, carbon offset are accessed to complement efforts.

Prices vary, and can range anywhere from around $5 per metric ton to $40 per metric ton based on location and type of project. However, individual access to the carbon market can be limiting, we want to change that. DCarbon believes in the credibility of verified carbon credits for all projects, treating them equal. Our portfolio is price constant to avoid dynamic price fluctuations. The voluntary market does not always reward the highest quality credits with a fair price to the project developers, we're contributing to change this situation. We believe if the green project developers are rewarded fairly, more will build more green projects and assist in climate action.

Carbon retirement refers to how carbon credits are purchased and removed from a carbon market. On DCarbon, once the credit has been bought, a Carbon Warrior certificate will be issued which will include your carbon credit serial number, which essentially means you have removed your carbon footprint depending on the quantity of credits purchased. Behind the scenes, the same credit will retire on the registry; translation: when someone purchases carbon credits, the underlying emission reduction (offset) cannot be resold or left on someone else’s balance sheet or within the control of the registry.

An NFT or a Non-Fungible Token represents a real-world items can be anything digital that is unique and cannot be replaced with something else. For eg: exchange a $5 bill for another $5 bill, and it will remain the same however, a one-of-a-king trading collectible card is non-fungible/unique/not interchangeable. Because every NFT is unique, it can be used to authenticate ownership of unique carbon offsets, among other things.

Carbon offsets allow you to make a positive impact on our environment and DCarbon gives you the tools to equitable participation with an opportunity to access the pricing dynamics in the centralised compliance markets. Your participation not only reduce your carbon footprint, but allows green project developers (solar, wind, hydro, biogas) to get rewarded.

Carbon neutrality is the achievement of net zero carbon emissions. This is normally achieved by reducing emissions as much as possible before balancing the remaining emissions with the purchase of carbon credits. For example, companies like Google, Amazon and Apple have vowed to go ‘net zero’ by a certain date in the near future, which means their operations will put into the atmosphere no more greenhouse gases than they can absorb back. Since it is neither possible to fully stop greenhouse gas emissions or absorb all of them back, they will fulfill this by buying carbon credits to green their emissions.

Every time carbon credits are purchased on DCarbon, DCarbon NFT (green elements) will be rewarded which will be planted in the DCarbon metaverse forests. The metaverse will have your individual metaforest and the global metaforests. Every rewarded DCarbon NFT will be planted in your individual metaforest, and every individual metaforest will be represented in the global metaforest.
