Carbon Sequestration

Practical insights from 11 re:build sessions on implementing carbon sequestration in regenerative villages.

Overview

Carbon Sequestration is a fundamental component of regenerative village development. This guide synthesizes knowledge from re:build gatherings to provide practical insights for implementing carbon sequestration in community projects.

Benefits

It's a global, I think, which will, will help monetize farmers, carbon credits, and then turn those into carbon credits, which are very, very valuable and it can be made and mutable on the blockchain with our organization that we're building within the world of the governance of the organization through that

Key Insights

Mission-driven development: Some projects have missions to demonstrate scalable, innovative real estate development that is self-sustaining, zero waste, and positive carbon sequestering, transitioning humanity toward a civilization where all humans are free to focus on their creative actions and purpose.

MRV expertise: Some practitioners consult for carbon credit desks and MRV (measurement, reporting, and verification) collectives, which are essential for tracking and verifying carbon sequestration.

Carbon credit systems: Converting carbon sequestration into credits is a common approach that creates financial incentives for regenerative practices.

Carbon market knowledge: Some practitioners are deeply involved in carbon markets and understand the complexities of carbon trading and verification.

Shared responsibility: When it comes to carbon dioxide, everyone is responsible—we all breathe, drive cars, and contribute. Rather than pointing fingers, we need collective solutions.

Living vs. dead carbon: When studying carbon, it's important to differentiate between living carbon (in plants, soil) and dead carbon (fossil fuels, emissions), as they have different impacts and values.

Satellite MRV: Satellite-based MRV systems can monitor diversity and carbon, helping secure and protect more of nature. Some practitioners don't believe we need separate water credits—water should be integrated into broader conservation approaches.

Blockchain carbon credits: Some systems help monetize farmers' carbon sequestration, turning it into valuable carbon credits that can be tracked on blockchain, creating transparent governance and verification.

Examples and Case Studies

So then what I'm happening is those huge funds that have 500 billion to invest, they go to stupid projects like carbon capture machines

Best Practices

  • And it's not just about buying carbon offsets, which of course is a part of it and it's also a big part of re-file
  • But, I think, I think, I think about buying carbon, of course, it is a part of it, and it's also a big part of refining
  • Well, we're trying to do is gamifying low-carbon mobility choices to not make it fun and engaging and rewarding to choose greener mobility options
  • So we have companies who are using it, so they can gamify their employees to go greener and then get the anonymous data of this scope three carbon emissions from their employability patterns
