TL;DR

• Flowcarbon is a noted leader in issuing blockchain tokens backed by certified carbon credits and verifiable tracking for Web3’s climate-conscious players.

• Aptos Foundation and Flowcarbon will launch a program designed to deliver high-quality carbon removal credits issued and retired natively on Aptos. 

• The goal: to limit and compensate for emissions while providing a transparent, accountability-focused example for the industry.

From day one, the Aptos Foundation has consistently striven to build a better future. This includes efforts to reduce energy consumption, minimize pollution, and compensate for negative environmental impacts.

There are many roads that lead to a sustainable future. At Aptos Foundation, we’re committed to exploring the most effective and impactful strategies, including:

• Partnering with Experts: Partnering with Flowcarbon, a leader in verifiable on-chain carbon emissions tracking and offsetting, ensures the highest integrity and effectiveness of offsetting efforts. Flowcarbon uses blockchain technology to improve the carbon market by making it more transparent and accessible. More transparency = more carbon sequestration efforts.

• Quality of Carbon Credits: Utilizing high-quality carbon removal credits to offset the Aptos network’s carbon footprint, particularly in locations where Aptos nodes are located.

• Feedback-Driven Approach: Taking meaningful steps and feedback from the ecosystem to ensure that the approach is best in class and continuously updated.

• Native Offsetting: Building out the framework for issuing and verifying carbon credits directly on Aptos.

Looking Forward

We firmly believe that actively working to reduce the network's carbon footprint and offsetting its emissions beyond its actual impact represents a crucial and worthwhile endeavor.While the carbon markets can be complex, Aptos Foundation is unwavering in its dedication to adhere to the highest standards for offsetting carbon emissions in a meaningful way. 

By partnering with the experts at Flowcarbon, we’re ensuring we only purchase and retire high-quality credits, and we're proactively building native infrastructure on Aptos to continue those activities. Rather than merely compensating for the carbon footprint of blockchain activities, we’re able to create a catalyst for a positive contribution to the environment. 

The Aptos Foundation’s central goal with the Flowcarbon partnership is to revolutionize how blockchain is leveraged to track, offset, and diminish carbon emissions.

We'll keep you updated on our progress as we move towards a sustainable and climate-responsible future.
