• VeChain and Carboneers are using blockchain and biochar to transform agricultural waste into a climate solution, benefiting both the environment and farmers.
• The initiative offers transparent, trackable carbon credits through VeChain’s blockchain, allowing individuals to offset their carbon footprints and earn rewards.

n line with CNF’s recent updates, VeBetterDAO has seen the first-ever proposal on its platform for an app that introduces transparency into the distribution and use of B3TR tokens on the VeChain ecosystem. VeChain is thrilled to announce a new initiative through its VeBetterDAO platform.

This project aims to tackle climate change by converting agricultural waste into biochar, a stable form of carbon. By working with smallholder farmers, Carboneers is not only revitalizing soils but also creating a sustainable way to manage agricultural byproducts.

Thanks to Collin Brown, a Blockchain researcher who shared simplified details of the Carboneers project in his tweet, we understand that the process works by transforming waste into biochar through pyrolysis, a method that captures CO₂ in the soil and prevents it from entering the atmosphere.

✨ Carboneers is leading the way in sustainability with biochar, and they’re powered by #VeChain! Here’s how they’re making a difference:

Each “Carbon Year” represents one ton of CO₂ sequestered for a year, providing a clear and measurable impact. This approach ensures that the environmental benefits are both significant and transparent.

Furthermore, as detailed in today’s CNF YouTube video, Carboneers also utilizes VeChain’s blockchain technology to track and verify these carbon credits, offering a trustworthy way to ensure the credibility of their efforts.

Importantly, individuals can participate by purchasing Carbon Years to offset their carbon footprints and earn rewards like B3TR tokens.

This initiative not only helps reduce CO₂ emissions but also supports farmers and leverages blockchain for reliable carbon credit tracking. At the time of writing, VeChain (VET) is trading at $0.02738, with a decrease of 3.65% in the past day and 6.80% in the past week. See VET Price Chart below.
