Along with the legendary status of being a carbon removal hero, you’ll receive a digital certificate of ownership for the carbon removals you paid for. This certificate will show the amount of carbon removals, the farmer and fields where the carbon was stored, and any additional information provided by the farm. All these records are registered permanently on a blockchain database, so you will always have proof of your purchase.

100% of each tonne you pay for goes directly to supporting Trey at Harborview Farms, while Nori collects a 10% transaction fee to help keep the marketplace running. This not only rewards Trey for his sustainable farming practices, but provides further incentives for him and other sustainable farmers to provide even more carbon removals in the future.

Nori works with independent, third party verifiers with experience and accreditation working on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction projects. Farmers are paired with a verifier to review their carbon removal data and supply any additional evidence required, and the verifier submits a report of their findings to Nori. When sold, every certificate of carbon removal will be attached with a copy of this report.

Nori partners with COMET-Farm, a team funded by the USDA and Colorado State University, in order to model how much carbon was removed by comparing their sustainable practices to their previous farming methods. This Greenhouse Gas accounting tool runs thousands of scenarios to determine within a reasonable level of confidence how much carbon a farmer has stored in their soils, and is one of the simplest and most accurate methods for counting carbon removals available today.

While Nori works with the farmer to finish registering their carbon removals, the Lightning pre-sale is your opportunity to place a pre-order ahead of time. When you pre-order your carbon removals, your spot in line is reserved until the pre-sale ends, at which point your card will be charged and you’ll receive your certificate of carbon removals right away.
