Protecting the planet is everyone’s responsibility. But for companies committing to sustainability, measuring their impact has been difficult and expensive. Until now. 17tons is making high quality nature-based investments verifiable and transparent for companies and their stakeholders. We empower business participation in the fight against climate change. Our technology connects companies with planters to measure, monitor and verify nature-based investments like carbon removal. HOW IT WORKS Measure Our trees are equipped with RFID tags to identify the plant’s information and collect its data. We then install smart sensors among networks of trees to monitor air quality and plot health in real time. Together, these systems provide an accurate measurement of how much carbon is removed by each tree. Monitor A digital avatar is then created for each tree and linked to the plant’s data source in the field. We use the data from our field systems to quantify each plant’s CO2 removal. Clients can view and manage this data through our simple user dashboard. Verify Carbon removal certificates are issued based on the tons of CO2 stored in each tree, and each tree’s data is transferred to the blockchain. This provides an unalterable permanent record for each tree and makes it traceable, thus neutralizing problems related to double-counting emissions.
