Meta Carbon

About Us

Meta Carbon, established in July 2021 by seasoned entrepreneurs Tom Herman and Mark David, is driven by a mission to combat climate change by enhancing transparency in carbon markets and simplifying transactions. Their vision? To democratize carbon offsetting. With investments secured and the creation of MC Cloud, a blockchain-based carbon management platform, their journey began.

In early 2022, Animoca Brands aligned with their ethos, joining other institutions and industry experts in investing in Meta Carbon and supporting their cause.

Identifying critical challenges, our founders addressed two core issues:

How does MC Cloud tackle these challenges?

Meta Carbon creates sales channels for Suppliers, selling their carbon to brands and individuals.  The platform facilitates automated management and real-time reporting of inventory, sales, and retirements while serving as a repository for project metadata. Suppliers benefit from margin tracking, automated sales, and pricing flexibility. Additionally, MC Cloud empowers Meta Carbon to oversee, manage, and price carbon inventories from various registries in one centralized location, streamlining operational processes and facilitating payments to suppliers with varying margins and pricing structures.

For brands, MC Cloud offers customizable and automated SME Footprint Calculators, including Travel, Events, Personal, and Business calculators, with plans for a new festival/events calculator in the pipeline. Robust APIs enable seamless management and retirement of carbon assets at the point of sale, along with associated metadata. To drive engagement, Leaderboards foster competition among users, rewarding environmental actions. Moreover, brands can enhance the communication value of retirements by providing custom certificates or NFTs as receipts, backed by immutable data recording of carbon sales.

If off-the-shelf tools aren’t available, Met Carbon can build products to meet specific needs. Having recently built specific business calculators for blockchain company Ripple XRP and a festival organiser.

In essence, Meta Carbon’s MC Cloud strives to revolutionize carbon offsetting, offering a solution that aligns sustainability with transparency and accessibility.
