Batan is a secure, transparent, decentralised peer-to-peer network which allows individuals and companies to accurately transmit, track and store carbon off-sets. Companies can distribute batan to their customers over the internet or by embedding it into their products and services with QR codes and bar codes. Batan units are backed by a basket of cancelled emissions allowances and retired carbon credits from the world’s major emissions trading schemes. The basket is designed to be representative of the global emissions market, in proportion to the relative size of each market. Batan’s operations are verified by a global leader in certification, and an advisory board of well-known environmentalists and leading carbon experts advise on the composition of its basket.
