Net Zero (Accelerator)

Company Description: NetZero is a carbon-removal venture targeting corporates serious about moving towards net-zero emissions. We extract carbon (“biochar”) from agricultural waste in tropical developing countries, and convert it into sustainable soil amendment and green energy. When mixed with soil, biochar remains stable for at least hundreds of years, hence providing the only permanent carbon removal model currently scalable. The emission-offset effects of our products generate high-quality carbon credits. Biochar-specific methodologies for accounting carbon credits appeared in 2020; Verra/VCS (“Verified Carbon Standard”), the world’s leading certification body for carbon credits, will have its own methodology by autumn 2021.
