BLUE SKY Potential


• Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) represents only 0.2% of global
greenhouse gas emissions. Global Voluntary Carbon Credits Issued (tCO2e)
800M
• Demand is forecast to increase significantly, driven by a growing
number of corporate Net Zero commitments.
• This, in turn, will increase transparency that real emissions
reductions are being achieved. 600M
• As demand for carbon credits increases, the costs of
undertaking real emission reduction projects will need to rise as
lower project costs are used up.
• Today's average prices of $3.00-$5.00/tCO2e will need to 400M
increase to $20.00-$50.00/tCO2e by 2030 and potentially up to
$100.00/tCO2e, if governments undertake lower cost projects
first. 200M
• Prices are expected to keep rising through 2050.

enabling users to track, trade and burn credits in a simple and
secure way accessible to everyone, everywhere.

emission, proof of stake consensus blockchain that connects
Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks into one to enable a
multi-chain Ethereum ecosystem.

holds unprecedented advantages.

• A massive and growing pool of global liquidity.
• Programmable functionality through smart contracts and
interoperability via composable "lego block" like primitives that enable
new types of capital formation and trading.

carbon reduction initiatives, helping historically underfunded
environmental companies and projects.

CARBON MARKETS 101


• Aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by setting limits and
enabling the trading of units that represent emissions reductions.
• A carbon credit, sometimes referred to as a carbon offset, is a
tradeable certificate or permit, allowing the owner to emit a certain
amount of carbon dioxide.
• There are two kinds of credits, compliance credits and voluntary
credits.
• Compliance credits are created and regulated by mandatory
regional, national, and international carbon reduction
requirements.
• Voluntary credits function outside of the compliance credit
markets and enable companies and individuals to purchase
carbon offsets on a voluntary basis. 23
