In 2012 we were at Cocha Cashu Research Station in Manu Park in Peru in the Amazon Rainforest with some of the highest biodiversity in the world. After 35 days in the restricted zone, we felt like we were on Pandora in “Avatar.” we were filled with wonder every day. The moment we came out of the restricted zone, the ecosystem changed drastically. The trees that remained were much lower and newer. The jungle was more sparse. We saw illegal logging and illegal gold miners pouring mercury into the river. We passed by huge tracts of farmland for cow pasture where pristine jungle had previous been. We had never been so jarred in our life. In that moment we learned a few things viscerally: 1 - The world’s financial system encourages and incentivizes the exploitation and destruction of nature. 2 - We began wondering if humans could possibly create a financial mechanism that would incentivize the protection and expansion of natural ecosystems. It wasn’t until a decade later that we would first hear the term “carbon credits.” And when we did, we knew that was our path moving forward - dedicating my life to the protection and expansion of native ecosystems and encouraging humans to live in symbiosis with their natural surroundings.

Revolutionizing Carbon Credits with Blockchain 🌍💻 While #CarbonCredits are an increasingly essential element to offset emissions, ensuring their authenticity, security and transparency remains challenging. To address these issues, CarbonHood has partnered with Redbelly Network and Blubird to transform carbon credit management. How does it work? - Meaningful tokenization: together, we’ve tokenized $70 billion USD worth of carbon credits—representing an initial 95 million tons of emissions. But, this is just the beginning. We aim to bring $2 trillion worth of these real world assets (representing 32 billion tons) on-chain by the end of 2025. - A verifiable and compliant process: using Blubird’s asset tokenization system alongside Redbelly Network's Layer 1 blockchain, each carbon credit is issued from a global on-chain registry. Credits are fully verifiable, compliant and traceable—with user identity and accountability at the core. - Single source of truth: by moving carbon credit issuance on-chain, we’re creating a primary and transparent destination that eliminates inefficiencies, reduces costs and mitigates risks from managing credits across multiple registries. This collaboration of industry leaders enables CarbonHood to simplify and substantiate carbon credit activities and outcomes throughout the market for businesses, governments and investors.

Carbon credits, traditionally used to offset #emissions, are now emerging as powerful financial tools. They’re not just an environmental obligation—they’re an opportunity to align financial growth with positive climate impact. How Carbon Credits Benefit Finance: ESG Integration: Financial institutions worldwide are under pressure to align their portfolios with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. Carbon credits are a practical way to meet these goals, showcasing genuine efforts to support the environment and add real, quantifiable value to ESG metrics. New Asset Class: Carbon credits are becoming an investable asset, providing returns while contributing to sustainability goals. By leveraging these credits, businesses and investors are creating portfolios that not only drive profits but also foster a healthier planet. Risk Management: Climate change presents risks that can affect market stability. By investing in carbon credits and supporting emissions-reducing projects, financial institutions are hedging against future regulatory changes and climate risks, making their strategies more resilient in the long term. The Future of Finance is #Sustainable The integration of carbon credits with finance is more than a trend—it’s the future. It’s a chance for banks, investors, and institutions to align their financial goals with global climate action, creating a win-win for both profitability and the environment. At CarbonHood, we’re leading this change. Our blockchain-powered platform ensures that carbon credits are accessible, verifiable, and impactful, helping financial institutions confidently invest in sustainability.

What is Greenwashing? Greenwashing is when companies claim to be environmentally friendly without taking real action. It’s about creating the appearance of #sustainability while the underlying practices remain unchanged or ineffective. These misleading claims can damage trust, waste consumer support, and slow the fight against climate change. At CarbonHood, we are committed to real transparency and verified impact. Here’s how we help prevent greenwashing: Blockchain Technology: Every carbon credit we issue is tracked and verified on-chain, creating a public, tamper-proof record of its origin and use. This ensures complete #transparency for all—no hidden claims, no misleading offsets. Verification Standards: We follow the highest standards for certifying carbon credits. Our verification process guarantees that each credit represents actual, measurable environmental benefits. Trust Through Accountability: By leveraging blockchain, we eliminate the chances of double counting or falsely claiming credits. Our single, transparent source of #truth ensures that every credit bought is valid, verified, and impactful. We believe that building a truly sustainable future requires honest, accountable action, not just empty promises. At CarbonHood, we’re making sure that every carbon credit makes a difference, and that companies can meet their climate goals without falling into the trap of greenwashing. Together, we can build a better, greener world—one verified carbon credit at a time.

Many large corporations claim to make a dramatic #NetZero impact on the environment from supposed actions with #CarbonCredits. Unfortunately, this is often #greenwashing. One company claimed that they would be monetizing all 670 million hectares of the Amazon rainforest and converting them into carbon credits. 🙄 Not true. A primary foundation for carbon credits to be counted and certified is additionality, which is the degree to which actions prompt outcomes that would not have occurred without them. The noted example lacks additionality, asserting the entire Amazon rainforest is in immediate danger of deforestation while claiming to address all 670 million hectares. Once again, greenwashing rather than sustainability. CarbonHood continues to revolutionize the carbon credit marketplace to foster a sustainable future through people and blockchain innovation.

When we started CarbonHood, we often heard the same answer from ESG departments: they would love to reduce their carbon footprint towards Net Zero, but doing so was not feasible. One large corporation had a Scope 1 carbon footprint, representing 10 million tons annually. Their sustainability department was passionate about the natural reforestation of devastated areas in countries they operated, with an internal commitment to offset at least 10% of their annual carbon footprint. However, these projects require substantial financial investments within the first few years. Even with a 10% limit, $240 million was too much for efforts that didn't contribute to their bottom line. After many conversations, the CarbonHood team brainstormed on bridging this gap. We knew Net Zero could become a reality for many more large corporations sitting on the sidelines. We approached Solace Capital, as they could leverage carbon credits as assets and create new financial vehicles to help organizations benefit from their carbon credit assets.

In 2013 at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival and there we met the late Rob Stewart, the creator of the award-winning documentary “Sharkwater.” He had such a passion for the world’s oceans and for the environment in general. In private conversation, we remember something he said to us that has stuck to this day: “Humans would kill the last panda if they felt their survival was in danger.” Rob Stewart Understanding that element of human nature is one of the fundamental reasons carbon credits were created - to give financial incentive on a large scale to the protection and restoration of ecological systems and protection of the world’s environments.
