flowcarbon, a climate tech firm based in New York, is partnering with Centrifuge, a well-established DeFi (decentralized finance) platform, to unleash the carbon finance project and scale the voluntary carbon market (VCM). Pools of forwarding contracts will be structured by flowcarbon – (Emission Reduction or Removal Purchase Agreements) from the new carbon finance projects.
Twin lake, a real-world digital asset marketplace, and the DeFi protocol of Centrifuge will launch these pools, allowing project developers to bring about additional cost adequate pre-issuance funding that will solve the frequent financial bottleneck they face. The carbon projects will be more diversified in terms of funding sources and additional development of the on-chain carbon credit ecosystem.
According to Chief Blockchain Strategist of flowcarbon, Phill Fogel, Centrifuge bridges different assets such as real estate, royalties, and invoices to DeFi. It is a leader in bringing assets into the chain. Flowcarbon’s partnership with Centrifuge will help create the first pool that includes Centrifuge’s natural asset contracts. The two companies will scale the access for investors to the projects’ capital with a planet-saving effect that will further democratize access to the natural assets.
Developers of carbon projects usually observe a deficit in their funding as revenues from the carbon credits are generally received only after carbon credits sale. The period can be anywhere between 2–10 years after a project has started. Bridging this financial gap will require much more than simply eliminating the market inefficiencies, and this is essential and needs to be tackled immediately.
