Fueling Tomorrow: Sequester Now Power Forward with Resilience

Transition-Backed Capital for Energy Growth and Grid Security

Geologic Environmental Mineral Sequestration GEMS™

At BadCarbon, we define the energy transition as a structural upgrade of the American grid. GEMS™ prioritize physical asset transformation over intangible offsets, directly converting mineral wealth into high-performance renewable infrastructure. By replacing carbon-intensive commodities with grid-scale solar and storage, we ensure a robust and reliable energy supply that strengthens the economy, enhances national security, and builds the resilient energy systems of tomorrow.

Today, Energy Growth and Grid Security depend on capital timing,

not the scale of ambition.

Energy Growth Imperative

GEMS™ support 3 mutually exclusive Reporting Pathways,

Claim Choice belongs to the Buyer, not the Asset.

Pathway A — Energy Transition Capacity (ETC)*
Designed for hyperscalers, data centers, utilities, and infrastructure buyers seeking energy security outcomes without carbon accounting entanglement.

Pathway B — Energy Transition Capacity + Mitigation Attribution
Intended for buyers with internal mandates for "beyond value chain mitigation contributions" alongside infrastructure funding.

Pathway C — Energy Transition Preservation
Provides liquidity, price discovery, and valuation support for GEMS™ as a transition-backed asset.

* Energy Transition Capacity represents a downstream reporting framework for GEMS-backed capital deployment, focused on energy security and grid resilience outcomes.

The New Era of Energy Security

MWh Creation + Resilience

Catalytic Equity for Energy Security:
Rapid load growth, electrification, and AI demand are stressing power systems that lack sufficient dispatchable, duration-qualified resources. In this environment, the critical failure point is not planning; it is the gap in capital availability before construction.

Immediate Deployment:
GEMS™ addresses the gap by converting supply-side mitigation decisions into deployable capital to support capacity adequacy, firm power, and grid resilience through a single-use, registry-tracked instrument.

tCO₂e Preservation

Verified GEMS™ Outcomes:
100-year preservation deeds with restricted development covenants and internationally recognized standards provide transparent, auditable quantification, delivering a high level of confidence for permanent supply-side impact.

Durability:
Each GEMS™ carries a fixed, contractually supported outcome. BadCarbon’s in-kind replacement warranty protects against reversal risk, sustaining the tCO₂e impact over time.

High-Integrity Energy Capacity

Why Governance Matters

GEMS™ and ETC Relationship

Geologic Environmental Mineral Sequestration and Energy Transition Capacity work together to provide a structured approach to transition finance and energy security, ensuring clear separation between capital deployment and reporting outcomes.

GEMS™ is the transition-backed capital instrument that BadCarbon originates.
ETCs serve as the energy-security reporting pathway for capital that GEMS™ deploy.

All GEMS™ are recorded and retired on the Northern Trust Carbon Ecosystem, providing a public audit trail and ensuring single-use integrity.
