We have introduced a new unit type for selling credits to enhance market transparency and traceability. These units, termed ELV Credit, represents the environmental impact of processing each End of Life Vehicle (ELV) through Government Authorized Vehicle Scrapping Centers, which are termed Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSFs) in India.
Each ELV Credit is uniquely linked to an individual ELV backed by multiple traceability data points including Government validation. This linkage allows buyers to clearly see the direct environmental impact of their purchase, with the carbon emission avoidance value varying based on the specific ELV's characteristics and recycling outcomes. This approach not only adheres to global environmental standards but also offers a tangible measure of the sustainable impact achieved through responsible ELV recycling
The informal recycling facilities have been criticized for contributing to environmental pollution and selling potentially unsafe automotive parts. In response, the Indian government is promoting the establishment of Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities (RVSFs) that adhere to environmental norms. These facilities, however, are struggling to compete with the informal sector, which typically offers quicker and cheaper services.
In the context of these challenges, MMCM, an enviro-tech company, is working to bridge the gap for RVSFs by introducing the concept of carbon credits. By ensuring proper waste management of ELVs, these credits provide an additional revenue stream, making it financially viable for RVSFs to operate within environmental compliance. This initiative by MMCM not only supports the formal sector in overcoming economic hurdles but also encourages sustainable practices in vehicle recycling, aligning with global environmental standards.

Ketrawe, meaning &ldquo;fertile land&rdquo;, is dedicated to creating windbreak forests, which offer numerous environmental benefits.
Nestled within Bolivia's agricultural matrix lies HDS1 Evergreen Broadleaf Forest, which has remained at least 30-years undisturbed, a critical reservoir of biodiversity facing pressure from expanding sugarcane cultivation.
Ketrawe Foundation is all about claiming the forest back from agriculture and cattle raising. The task is to convince farmers that trees are their best allies instead of an enemy that occupies productive land and eats up their yields.
In that sense Ketrawe Foundation has developed and pioneered a unique planting system with native and exotic trees which is a fusion between windshields and traditional tree plantations, this model allows farmers to add value to their land, while they increase their agricultural yields and on top of that enhance water conditions, fertility and reduce erosion. This system has worked beautifully and has proven to be a success story that is being voluntarily and widely adopted by many farmers. The end product is a higher land value, increased income of farmer families, reduction of forest fires, positive environmental and social impact; the key for success has been to balance out a profitable synergy between farmers, agriculture, trees and environment.
Credit Stock
Current credit stock is for the 2023 vintage. Please view the image gallery for monthly breakdowns of carbon sequestration over this period.
Threats to Forest Integrity
The dominant land use in the region is sugarcane production, an economically important activity that drives deforestation. The subject forest is under imminent threat of conversion to agricultural land, jeopardizing its biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides. This land-use change would result in habitat loss, fragmentation of wildlife populations, and a reduction in carbon storage capacity.
Impacts and benefits
- Getting the forest back in places where it was chopped out before November 1994 in the form of wide windbreakers which are also used as a habitat for wildlife and/or biological corridors - Genetic recovery of native species - Reproducing seedling by using seeds from selected trees that have good genetic qualities - Windshields help the farmers to increase their agricultural yields between 9% and 32%, meaning a substantial economic impact for peasant families in the field and agriculture as a whole
Ecological Value
- Increased crop productivity per hectare - Reduced need for chemical fertilizers - Stabilization of water cycles - Improved humidity conditions - Minimized flood effects - Prevention of wind erosion - Increases on-farm productivity and minimizes agricultural risks
Biodiversity Impact
This intact forest ecosystem supports a diverse assemblage of flora and fauna, including primate species, reptiles such as crocodiles and various snakes, avian populations, and vital pollinators like bees. The intricate ecological relationships within this forest contribute to its resilience and highlight its importance as a key component of regional biodiversity.
Furthermore, the forest provides critical ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration, watershed protection, and soil stabilization, which are essential for mitigating climate change and ensuring environmental sustainability.
Social Impact
Agroforestry redefines the farmer-forest relationship and provides income for diversified communities. By integrating trees into farming, farmers unlock economic and ecological benefits, increasing profitability and promoting sustainability.

WHO ARE UNDO?
● UK-based carbon removal scale-up ● Scaling enhanced rock weathering (ERW) ● UK, US &amp; Australia-based operations ● Part of Stripe Climate portfolio ● Leading Science &amp; Research team ● Target to remove 1bn. tonnes by 2030
How we approach measurement
There are several handles to show that weathering has taken place: ● Products of weathering (Ca, Mg, Na, K and increase in pH). ● Fate of the CO2 sequestered through the reaction of carbonic acid and hydroxide ions&nbsp;released during the weathering process. ● Co-benefits, such as yield
To date, no single method has proven accurate in quantifying the amount of CO2&nbsp;sequestered, but are rather indications that weathering is taking place. Hence the need for&nbsp;model predictions and improvement of these through data gathered in the field.
Our approach to date has been to deploy all existing MRV approaches in our field and mesocosm trials combined with innovation for new techniques
Undo Field mesocosms
Field-adjacent soil mesocosms incorporate the&nbsp;complexity of field conditions, with the added&nbsp;ability to take a wider range of measurements&nbsp;on a higher frequency.&nbsp;They also allow for a more controlled basalt&nbsp;application for ground truthing of the model.&nbsp;This approach is well documented to measure&nbsp;an enhanced weathering signal in a closed&nbsp;system, see documentation for more information

Various frequently asked questions regarding ERW and UNDO

ERW and UNDO FAQS

Permanent carbon storage. Enhanced rock weathering locks up CO2 in the geosphere, with a permanence of 100,000+ years. This is comparable to engineered solutions, such as DAC, and far above semi-permanent nature based solutions, such as biochar.

ERW - THE BENEFITS

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a highly scalable carbon removal technology that locks up CO 2 for 100,000+ years, and UNDO are now delivering enhanced rock weathering projects in the US, UK, and Australia. The permanence of an engineered removal, with the co-benefits of a nature based solution. ERW helps farmers achieve crop yield increase of up to 16%. ERW increases soil health, reducing the need for soil amendments. ERW drives revenue back to local agricultural communities. ERW reduces ocean alkalinity to improve water systems

You want full credentials and results, this is your credit.&nbsp;
We expect credits to become certified before the end of this year, using our <a href="https://www.cercarbono.com/">Cercarbono</a>-approved methodology.
Who we are
Savimbo is a company created by, and for, Indigenous smallfarmers in the Colombian Amazon.&nbsp;
Our aim is to employ 1 billion Indigenous Peoples and local communities in 10 years to restore the planet.&nbsp;
Credit stock
Our current stock of 400k biodiversity credits is from a 76,500 hectare collective, located in the Tropical Andean biodiversity hotspot:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- This land is managed by a collective consisting of over 250 Indigenous smallholder farmers and four Indigenous groups
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- Species monitoring is conducted for around a year, with indicator species tracked and pre-validated through <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/">iNaturalist</a>, before credits are generated
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- The smallholder farmers have signed 30-year conservation contracts that include a 50% revenue share from credit sales
</li>
</ul>
And we&rsquo;re adding to this stock too!
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- We&rsquo;re working with more than 12 Indigenous groups across nine countries
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- These areas are located in either biodiversity hotspots or <a href="https://www.iucnredlist.org/">IUCN-threatened</a> ecosystems
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- We&rsquo;re expecting to generate 178 million credits for the global conservation market over the next five years
</li>
</ul>
What is a biodiversity credit?
We can assess the health of a biodiverse ecosystem by tracking the health of the species at the top of the food chain (typically known as the apex predator). One hectare of an ecosystem protected for a full month constitutes one biodiversity unit.&nbsp;
Once the data behind this has been collected and verified, and the ecological integrity has been measured, a credit can be issued. In our case, this is based on video evidence of an apex predator or rare species.&nbsp;
You can find more information on the biodiversity unit and why it's important for global tracking <a href="https://unit.savimbo.com/unit-of-a-biodiversity-credit">here</a>.&nbsp;
How much of this revenue goes to locals?
We&rsquo;re glad you asked because this is important to us too.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- 50% of biodiversity revenue goes to the originating landowner.&nbsp;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- Of the remaining 50%, 2/3 goes to local indigenous leaders, 1/6 goes to local experts and growers involved in building Savimbo, and the remaining amount covers our operating costs
</li>
</ul>
How do you track impact?
We use an <a href="http://isbm.savimbo.com/">indicator-species biodiversity methodology</a> written by, and for, Indigenous groups in rare ecosystems - and translated to markets using applied chaos theory.&nbsp;
This provides a simplified framework that protects resilient ecosystems. Central to the methodology is direct payment to indigenous people and local communities, who are the on-the-ground land guardians.

The farm is situated in the outskirts of the village Briyastovo, near Nova Zagora in Bulgaria.
Ivan and Neli have been farming all of their lives. Both of them come from farming families and when they got married, they united the family farms and kept working on them.
The farm is slightly outside of the village of Briyastovo, where they live, but they attend to it like their own child.
They usually grow wheat, barley, sunflowers and rapeseed, due to the nature of the soil and compatibility with the area&rsquo;s common farming practices. In the seasons when they sow spring wheat, they&rsquo;ll follow this with a different crop so they don&rsquo;t exhaust the soil. In addition, the crop rotation helps with the natural fight against bugs and other field animals that eat the seeds and impact the quality of the produce.&nbsp;
Each year, 5% of the land is rotated and not farmed, which allows the soil to rest and &ldquo;take a breath&rdquo;.
When it comes to irrigation, as with many Buglarian farmer, they rely on the rain, but luckily right next door is a natural irrigation canal coming from the nearby lake, so they use that when and if needed.
Fertilisation happens only with biofertilisers, the amount of which is precisely calculated. There is a precise calculation as to how much fertiliser is needed per kilogram.

Domaine Coquerel is a family-owned distillery in Normandy, France that&rsquo;s been producing&nbsp;Calvados since 1937. Today they produce world famous alcohol brands including Calvados&nbsp;Coquerel, the planet positive brand Avallen, and their own Normindia gin.
&nbsp; The distillery owns 2.54 hectares of traditional apple orchards consisting of just over 400&nbsp;trees that are protected under the strict rules of the Calvados AOC. These rules prevent&nbsp;artificial irrigation, protect strong biodiversity within the orchards (particularly the Osmia&nbsp;Cornuta bee), mandate multiple species of apples in a single orchard, and limit intensive&nbsp;practices such as grass cutting.
In addition to this they don&rsquo;t use fertilisers or pesticides in their&nbsp;orchards. Each orchard is surrounded by hedgerows that are teeming with life.
The owners believe the traditional orchards of Normandy have a vital role to play in the future of the drinks industry as climate positive, biodiverse, water frugal, and pesticide free&nbsp;agroforestry producing delicious raw materials for the drinks we enjoy around the world.

The farm is situated near the village of Omarchevo, near Nova Zagora in Bulgaria. In Tihomir&rsquo;s own words:
&ldquo;My farm has been owned by my family for 3 generations. Over the years, it&rsquo;s been used to produce various types of crops."
&ldquo;My great-grandparents used to grow vegetables, such as potatoes, cabbage, peppers, cucumbers and onions, for their own use. They would always fertilise with manure and never used any pesticide. Permaculture has always been part of how we farm. "
Today, the farm produces wheat, sunflowers, rapeseed and barley - and, occasionally, other crops that don&rsquo;t require watering. They rely on the rain for natural irrigation and use a minimal amount of chemical fertiliser and pesticides to ensure better protection for both seeds and soil.

We are young farmers with a young family, who have been given a fantastic first opportunity to farm our very own holding at Red Hill Farm. We farm approximately 100 acres which is mostly permanent grazing pastures. There are 6.5km of hedgerows around the farm which have existed for many years, and attracts many different wildlife species.&nbsp;
 We currently farm a sheep flock of 200 breeding ewes which include, 160 blackface sheep, 25 pedigree Hampshire Down&rsquo;s and 15 pedigree Texels. These are lambed between the months of December and April, with the Hampshire Downs lambing in December and the Blackface ewes lambing in February/March and all lambs are sold for breeding and meat in the Autumn. We take good pride in our stock and have built up a very good reputation of producing high quality lambs.&nbsp;
 During the summer months, as a family we enjoy taking our pedigree stock out to shows all over the country and have been rewarded very well, having been awarded Champion several times.&nbsp;
 We took our tenancy on for Red Hill Farm in March 2021 and prior to this we have farmed our livestock for over 8 years together. Red Hill Farm has given us the opportunity to expand our livestock and farm our own holding and allows our young children to follow in our footsteps.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

A summary of emissions from carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide for the whole farm and per enterprise is presented below.
Total emissions are also expressed per unit of output, per hectare and per livestock unit equivalent to allow comparisons to be made.
Per unit of output is the most common way to express emissions associated with the production of food products.

Our impact credit uses the same unit and methodology as our certified credits. All credits have full measurement, reporting, and verification. They all have full topography and ground-vetted attestations for land control. But they are sold by Indigenous groups and smallfarmers that are excluded from the market because of structural inequity. Either they don&rsquo;t have full land title, or the land titles they do have can&rsquo;t be corrected.
In most cases, the sellers of these credits have land tenure, or hunting rights. We think they deserve to be rewarded for protecting rare species. We hope you do too.
This uncertified biodiversity credit breaks market rules for all the right reasons. Same methodology, and full measurement, reporting, and verification as our certified biodiversity credits. But this credit is not certifying because of unfair land rights access for Indigenous Peoples and local communities.

<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- The smallholder farmers have signed 30-year conservation contracts that include a 50% revenue share from credit sales
</li>
</ul>
And we&rsquo;re adding to this stock too!
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- We&rsquo;re working with more than 12 Indigenous groups across nine countries
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- These areas are located in either biodiversity hotspots or <a href="https://www.iucnredlist.org/">IUCN-threatened</a> ecosystems
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- We&rsquo;re expecting to generate 178 million credits for the global conservation market over the next five years

What is a biodiversity credit?
We can assess the health of a biodiverse ecosystem by tracking the health of the species at the top of the food chain (typically known as the apex predator). One hectare of an ecosystem protected for a full month constitutes one biodiversity unit.&nbsp;
Once the data behind this has been collected and verified, and the ecological integrity has been measured, a credit can be issued. In our case, this is based on video evidence of an apex predator or rare species.&nbsp;
You can find more information on the biodiversity unit and why it's important for global tracking <a href="https://unit.savimbo.com/unit-of-a-biodiversity-credit">here</a>.&nbsp;
How much of this revenue goes to locals?
We&rsquo;re glad you asked because this is important to us too.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- 50% of biodiversity revenue goes to the originating landowner.&nbsp;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
- Of the remaining 50%, 2/3 goes to local indigenous leaders, 1/6 goes to local experts and growers involved in building Savimbo, and the remaining amount covers our operating costs
</li>
</ul>
How do you track impact?
We use an <a href="http://isbm.savimbo.com/">indicator-species biodiversity methodology</a> written by, and for, Indigenous groups in rare ecosystems - and translated to markets using applied chaos theory.&nbsp;
This provides a simplified framework that protects resilient ecosystems. Central to the methodology is direct payment to indigenous people and local communities, who are the on-the-ground land guardians.
