ClimeFi Facilitates the World’s First Verified Enhanced Weathering Carbon Removal Credits
Today marks a significant milestone for the future of carbon removal credits as ClimeFi announces the facilitation of the world’s first verified Enhanced Weathering (EW) carbon removal credits. This achievement, realised in collaboration with InPlanet, Isometric, and Adyen, represents a new benchmark for transparency and scientific integrity in the carbon markets.
A Collaborative Effort Towards Verified Carbon Removal
These high-quality credits were supplied by InPlanet, meticulously verified and certified by Isometric, and delivered to Adyen—all under ClimeFi’s facilitation. This marks a groundbreaking moment, showcasing the viability of Enhanced Weathering as a reliable and scalable carbon removal strategy. By integrating scientific precision with market-driven solutions, we are advancing the carbon removal landscape toward broader accessibility and impact.
The Serra da Mantiqueira Project: Harnessing Nature for Climate Solutions
The credits were sourced from InPlanet’s Serra da Mantiqueiras project in Brazil. This initiative takes advantage of tropical soils to accelerate the natural weathering of silicate rocks, a process that effectively captures and securely stores atmospheric carbon dioxide as stable bicarbonates. The tropical conditions of the region make this approach not only efficient but also cost-effective—a vital factor for scalability.
In addition to removing carbon dioxide, the Enhanced Weathering process delivers a range of co-benefits including improved soil health and increased agricultural productivity. These attributes highlight the multifaceted value of Enhanced Weathering projects, beyond their critical role in addressing climate change.
Driving Verified Solutions for Net-Zero Goals
The issuance of these credits underscores our commitment to fostering breakthroughs in carbon removal technologies. By connecting InPlanet with leading companies such as Adyen, we are enabling organisations to make scientifically verified strides toward their net-zero commitments.
This collaboration serves as a model for how climate-focused businesses can leverage high-integrity solutions to advance their sustainability goals while contributing to global efforts to mitigate climate change.
