ensures integrity by:
Rejecting Failed Permanence: We recognize that CO2's atmospheric lifespan is over 100 years. We abolished the ineffective 40-year legal protection standard and established a verifiable 100-year legal protection framework.
Focusing on True Impact: We upgraded the mechanism into a holistic, verifiable unit, the Balance Unit., that actually works for clients.
The Balance Unit: The Upgraded Carbon Credit
The Balance Unit retires an upgraded carbon credit, making it a trusted, effective, and client-usable instrument. This instrument guarantees verifiable impact across three non-negotiable pillars:
- Biodiversity Creation: Generating measurable, science-backed increases in local ecological health and species diversity through rewilding, natural regeneration, and reforestation to re-create what was lost.
- Socio-Economic Well-Being (Including Human Rights): Driving community prosperity, ensuring financial stability, and generating sustainable income from activities like beekeeping, Permaculture, and Biochar
- The Carbon Co-Benefit: Every Balance Unit also retires a verified tonne of carbon, providing a clear link interoperable with global standards like Article 6.
Methodology, Not a Standard
The V2 Balance Methodology is not a standard; it is a framework. Existing standards can be lifted and verified through our six-point eagle framework—a mechanism that is both effective and ethically sound. For further details on the six-point legal framework click below.
