High-Quality, High-Impact Climate Solutions
BadCarbon is pioneering a new standard in the voluntary carbon market with our Geologic Environmental Mineral Sequestration (GEMS™) methodology. By creating Hydrocarbon Avoided Conversion (HAC) credits, we sequester hydrocarbons in their original geological formations for the next century. This strategy prevents greenhouse gas emissions across the entire fossil fuel lifecycle—extraction, processing, transportation, and combustion while delivering significant co-benefits.
Dual Climate Impact
- Sequester the Source: We keep fossil fuels in the ground, preventing their extraction and the associated emissions.
- Transition Positive: Proceeds from HAC credits for renewable energy and sustainable development projects amplify positive climate impact.
Immediate Emissions Reductions & Clean Energy Development
Hydrocarbon Avoided Conversion (HAC)
Using the GEMS™ Methodology, BadCarbon secures hydrocarbons underground through legally binding restrictive Term Mineral Deeds (TMDs), preventing carbon cycle emissions for the next 100 years.
- Verified Credits: All credits are guided by international standards like ISO 14064-2:2019, ISAE 3000, and the UN Framework Classification for Resources (2019).
- Insured Warranty: Our projects are backed by a Broad Replacement Warranty and protected by an Environmental Commodity Insurance Policy, offering long-term security against reversals and non-permanence risk.
Dual Impact Climate Equity (DICE)
Our DICE initiative uses up to 100% of net proceeds from HAC projects for renewable energy and sustainable development, accelerating the positive climate impact.
- Equity for Clean Energy: We target early-stage renewable projects and strategically expanding infrastructure.
- Immediate Deployment: Solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS) projects are poised and ready for immediate action.
- Global Reach: DICE amplifies the global clean energy transition by diversifying equity for renewable technologies and sustainable projects.
Northern Trust Carbon Ecosystem
Enhancing Buyer Confidence
Leveraging the Northern Trust Carbon Ecosystem (NTCE), each HAC credit provides complete traceability, ensuring transparency and security throughout the credit's lifecycle.
Alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
BadCarbon HAC credits support 10 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, extending their benefits beyond carbon reduction:
- SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
- SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
- SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
- SDG 9: Industry Innovation and Infrastructure
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
- SDG 13: Climate Action
- SDG 15: Life on Land
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
Our projects help drive meaningful progress by reducing emissions and scaling renewable energy infrastructure, making it easier for businesses to meet corporate social responsibility and sustainability objectives.
