Carbon offsets have quite rightly been under a lot of international scrutiny lately. Carbon removals avoid the issues associated with “phantom credits" - offsets that are full of hot air and not full of carbon actually removed from the atmosphere.
Regenerating native forests are a significantly underused resource in the fight against climate change. They have the potential to suck up even more carbon but are excluded from accessing carbon revenue - the money required to actually make this happen.
With a financial incentive to take better care of native forests, a snowball effect is created. Carbon credit revenue is reinvested into forest care so they suck even more carbon out of the atmosphere plus all the biodiversity benefits.
Businesses can tell a better net-zero story by connecting with these native forests through carbon removals. Net-zero with real climate action, local impact investment, biodiversity and water quality benefits.
Join us to hear from Nick Butcher from CarbonCrop as we explore what carbon removals really means to the ag industry and what opportunities are available.
The B.linc VIBE event series is an opportunity to hear from one of the wider Lincoln precinct companies about their business and to touch base, reconnect and build connections across the precinct.
