AGRIVOLTAICS
Agrivoltaics combines crops and solar panels where crops are grown under the shade of solar panels, helping reduce water evaporation and use. Agrivoltaics also improves crop yield and resistance to droughts.
.
There are three types of agrivoltaics systems:
-
Rows of solar arrays with crops planted in between
-
Solar arrays on tall rack mounts with crops planted underneath
-
Greenhouses with solar arrays on their roofs
Leafy greens and root crops show the most provise.
START TRUSTING THE CARBON MARKET
The global carbon offset/carbon credit market was estimated to be worth $414.8 billion in 2023. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 31.0% from 2023 to 2028, reaching $1,602.7 billion. The total value of carbon credits traded in the market could be worth $1 trillion as early as 2037.
The carbon credit mechanism serves as a captivating project financing tool. It empowers the development of innovative solutions for reducing or avoiding greenhouse gas emissions.
CARBON MARKETS
Market Participation Just Got Easier
TRUST
Without clear standards for carbon credits it is difficult for companies to know if they are truly reducing their emissions
One of the biggest roadblocks to a trusted voluntary carbon market is ensuring that the carbon credits are real.
Blockchain technology provides full traceability of carbon emissions. Once recorded it can not be altered or deleted, ensuring integrity and value.
One of the main challenges in the voluntary carbon markets is the lack of standardization, integrity, and transparency.
​
The Carbon Blockchain:
Calculates, tracks, and reports reduction of the carbon footprint
Instant authentication, verification of real-time data, and clear data records
Issues and tracks carbon credits
1
TRANSPARENCY
Each token represents a specific carbon credit, and the blockchain ensures the immutability and traceability of these tokens, eliminating the risks of fraud and double-spending building trust and increasing invesments.
EASE
Tokenizing climate credits provides ease of participation, allowing investors to seamlessly buy, sell, and trade paving the way for impactful environmental initiatives.

RENEWABLE ENERGY
Cow Shades are designed to be off-grid, stand-alone power systems (SAPS) that generate electricity to charge a solar battery to replace fossil fuels.
MANURE MANAGEMENT
Cow manure releases greenhouse gases (GHGs) like methane and nitrous oxide during storage and treatment.
HERE ARE WAYS TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF MANURE EMISSIONS:
-
Reduce storage time and spread of manure regularly
-
Aerate and compost
-
Add biochar (reduces methane emissions by 84%)
-
Use covered lagoons
-
Add urease inhibitors to reduce nitrous oxide emissions.
Biochar can improve soil quality by increasing:
-
soil pH
-
moisture-holding capacity
-
cation-exchange capacity
-
microbial flora
-
the availability of basic cations
-
concentrations of phosphorus and total nitrogen
Biochar works in combination with other soil components and soil microbes to improve plant nutrition and growth.
The porous nature of biochar enables it to soak up and keep water within the soil and hold nutrients.
Biochar can be used to mitigate climate change and to improve crop productivity.
