Understanding Carbon Credits: The Financial and Environmental Opportunity

Invest in Carbon Credits and Fight Climate Onslaught

Carbon credits are emerging as a vital tool in the global effort to combat climate change, often referred to as an “onslaught”. Essentially, Carbon Credits are permits that represent the right to emit a specific amount of carbon dioxide ($\text{CO}_2$) or an equivalent greenhouse gas (GHG).

CarbCred facilitates the adoption of these credits by engaging with both communities and corporations to encourage sustainable change.

The Investment Landscape

Investing in carbon credits involves placing capital into the carbon markets, the system where these credits are created, bought, and sold. This investment taps into a significant and valuable resource. According to one perspective shared by CarbCred, “The carbon stored in Earth’s forests and soils is worth more than all the oil, gas, and coal still underground”.

For investors and corporations, carbon credits can be securitized into fungible and tradable securities. This modern approach ensures transparent pricing and real-time settlement within the carbon market.

CarbCred’s Role

CarbCred is focused on utilizing this market potential locally, with the aim of creating and managing Carbon Credit pilot projects throughout Zimbabwe. The firm is actively engaged with several national and private entities that have shown high interest in participating in this market, often referred to as the “Carbon Credit playground”.
