Happy to note that 350Solutions served as the independent verifier for Isometric's first registered carbon removal credits! It was a pleasure to work with the Isometric team and the first supplier on their registry - Vaulted Deep to provide our third-party verification of their removals. Great to see CDR activity ramping up (deliveries!) and an increased focus on high-quality credits and scientifically rigorous protocols. Looking forward to continuing to notch more 'firsts' in carbon removal at 350Solutions in 2024!
The Isometric Registry officially launches today. The first credits on the Registry are the most scientifically rigorous, highest quality carbon removal credits to ever exist, marking a new era for carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Today’s credits were delivered to key members of Frontier. This follows Isometric's recent approval as a qualified organization for verifying and issuing credits to Frontier buyers. The carbon removal for these credits was conducted by Vaulted Deep, a biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRS) company. Vaulted secures end-of-life organic wastes through sustainable sourcing practices. They take this waste and deploy slurry injection technology to geologically sequester it for storage, resulting in durable carbon removal. Stripe and Shopify’s credits are visible on the Isometric Registry, which sets a new standard for transparency in CDR, providing a permanent audit trail for all carbon removal credits issued by Isometric. There are three things that make Isometric carbon removal credits the highest quality to ever exist. First, they are grounded in scientific rigor, having been verified against the Isometric Standard. This ensures that one credit equals one tonne of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere and safely stored. Second, they are transparent with a publicly available life cycle assessment that accounts for every step of the carbon removal process. Finally, they reflect a model that aligns incentives. The verification and issuance of all Isometric credits is paid for by the buyer of those credits on a flat-fee basis, minimizing any conflict of interest. Carbon markets require trust to operate effectively and that’s exactly what Isometric’s new carbon removal credits deliver. This marks a new era for this industry, where buyers can purchase with confidence. This is a critical step towards creating quality in carbon markets, helping carbon removal reach the gigatonne scale that the planet needs. This is what Isometric was founded to do. https://lnkd.in/eWCf_Zvh
