BlueSphere Carbon: Critical to a Sustainable Future

The BlueSphere Carbon Exchange is poised to flip the voluntary carbon market on its head.

At least 21% of the world’s largest companies have made net-zero commitments.

These companies represent annual sales of ~$14 trillion.

Beyond those, thousands of other businesses have introduced goals to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gas.

Given the importance of climate action, these goals are admirable, but the market has yet to an efficient mechanism to help participants achieve them.

That’s all about to change very soon thanks to BlueSphere Carbon and its launch of the game-changing BlueSphere Carbon Exchange.

Let’s dig in.

Environmental Credits 👉 Critical to Sustainable Future

The burning of fossil fuels is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.

As global industries strive toward a more sustainable future, the reduction of these emissions have come to represent the nexus in the goal to achieving net-zero.

The strategies around how to reduce these emissions have also become an integral part of any business model that wants to operate in today’s global economy.

Though more and more companies are making pledges aligned with the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement (seeks to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius), many are not able to eliminate emissions efficiently on their own.

This is where environmental credits come in to play.

Environmental credits are permits that represent the right to emit a certain amount of greenhouse gases equal to the amount reduced, avoided, destroyed, or captured by the issuer.

There are two markets for carbon offsets: regulated compliance market and voluntary market.

We’ll be focusing on the one BlueSphere is about to flip on its head: the voluntary market.

Voluntary markets are crucial because they provide direct financing to projects that would otherwise never get off the ground.

These are projects that are building out the innovations tackling climate issues in real life and actually reducing emissions.

Without them, the cost of emerging climate technologies would never come down to a level practical enough to achieve material progress towards goals of net-zero.

This means that a large, transparent, and liquid voluntary carbon market is critical to a sustainable future.

From Opaque & Complex 👉 Transparent & Accessible via BCE

Simply put, the current environmental credit economy stinks.

It’s fragmented, complex and lacks price transparency and liquidity.

When buyers are faced with limited pricing data, they have no way of ensuring they’re paying a fair price for credits.

Furthermore, not knowing what price buyers will ultimately pay for credits makes managing the risks of financing carbon-reduction projects very difficult for suppliers.

Ultimately, what ends up happening is we get a bunch of low-grade credits being passed off as quality assets, when in reality many of the emission reductions they represent are questionable, at best.

Now, given the demand for carbon credits (some estimates have it increasing by a factor of up to 100 by 2050), it boggles the mind why a practical solution has not yet emerged.

Thankfully, investors will finally have the means to actively participate in the voluntary carbon credit market via the BlueSphere Carbon Exchange (BCE).

The BCE is everything the current credit market is not: accessible, efficient, transparent, and liquid.

It’s designed to be an inclusive economy and community that connects businesses, credit suppliers, and investors on an easy-to-use, low-cost platform with a massively lower barrier to entry than what’s currently available.

BlueSphere Carbon is in advanced development stages of BCE, having developed the platform’s trading engine, cybersecurity measures, website, and secured website domain and trademarks.

The company has integrated the first 6 environmental credit offerings, acquired the first 5 million carbon credits, and fulfilled its first order of 1,040,000 carbon credits.

BCE will finally give market participants transparent access to buy, sell, and hold a number of major environmental credits around the world.

BCE Business Model 👉Multi-faceted Agnostic Revenues

At the official launch, BCE will be offering trading of six of the most traded environmental credits on the platform as well as other relevant products.

Down the road, it plans to potentially offer access to a variety of offerings, including carbon credit tokens, carbon credit-linked cryptocurrencies, carbon credit mutual funds or ETFs, and other greenhouse gas offset tokens.

For now, BCE will lean on its multi-faceted revenue streams:

Price agnostic listing and transaction fees
Revenues generated from the direct purchasing/selling of credits
Carbon streaming agreements with project developers for credits

As an aggregator of environmental credits—and therefore a vast amount of valuable data—BlueSphere will also look to generate additional revenue streams via data connection and information distribution fees.

Looking beyond the short-term launch of BCE, the company is currently raising funds to advance its business and strengthen its foothold in the space.

Capital will be used to continue developing technology, including those mentioned above as well as new payment options, updating the automation of payments, fraud detection and withdrawals.

Funds will also be allocated to the acquisition of carbon credits. The company is already in the process of acquiring high-quality credits and streaming rights to be sold later.

Lastly (and probably most importantly), BlueSphere will focus on awareness by educating investors on the benefits of impact investing through credits and by targeting businesses interested in offsets.

The Bottom Line

In 2021, carbon credit prices in the voluntary Aviation Industry Carbon Offset market gained over 285%.

Imagine what could be achieved with a proper, transparent market?

Estimates from the Market Reports World forecasts help paint the picture: global voluntary carbon offsets market will surpass $700 million by 2027 while growing at an 11.7% CAGR.

For a zoomed-out image, we turn to the Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets (TSVCM) which predicts the market could be worth $50 billion by 2030.

Zooming out even further, TSVCM estimates demand for carbon credits could increase by a factor of 100 by 2050!

As of October 2021, over 5,000 firms had set voluntary climate targets.

The trend (and demand) is clear.

What hasn’t been clear has been the voluntary markets themselves.

BlueSphere Carbon Exchange represents the desperately-needed accessible, liquid and transparent voluntary carbon market which—lest we forget—is absolutely critical to a sustainable future.

As such, BlueSphere Carbon represent the best vehicle for investors to participate in that future!
