CO2 Offset Bank: June 2016

2016/06/15

Second deposit in Italy

Big deposit of biochar from grapevines trimmings on the same land of the first deposit, but the amount was almost four times more: 2184 grams on the scale, so let's account that as 2.1 kg of biochar, equal to 8 kg of CO2 sequestered from the atmosphere!

Setting the zero and... go! 2184 grams.

Mission

The CO2OffsetBank promotes carbon negative practices through vocational training, demonstrations and workshops. The main topic is the efficient production and use of biochar to enrich the soil, retaining water and plant nutrients.

In this way, as an NGO project we want to address the serious issues related to the wide spread detrimental practice of setting the forest on fire, in southeast Asia. A program of collaboration with local hill tribe communities in Thailand is now in the course of development.

The CO2OB is structured as a virtual bank, listing voluntary documented biochar deposits in the soil, wherever on the planet. Whoever does this becomes automatically a donor member of the bank: every gram counts but you'll get 1 CO2OB credit on your account every 273 grams of biochar deposited: this is the equivalent carbon content of 1 kg of CO2.
The database of all the deposits is public and every deposit is listed along the blog as soon as you will give notive of it by email at co2offsetbank(at)gmail(dot)com, with the date, the amount of biochar, the location and the name of the donor.

Thank you all with deep gratitude for joining in.
