Coorest Carbon Standard
The first certified standard for blockchain-based CO2 compensation, powered by smart contracts and satellite data.
Official Document PDFCertified by an official United Nations auditor
The Coorest Carbon Standard is certified by Earthood — a carbon auditor accredited by the United Nations. Earthood formally recognises the Coorest Carbon Standard as a legitimate carbon compensation method.
Earthood CertificationTokenization secured by smart contracts
Smart contracts are blockchain programs that automatically run when certain conditions are met. Coorest CO2 tokens ($CCO2) are minted by smart contracts.
A Coorest CO2 token ($CCO2) is a digital representation of 1 kilogram of absorbed CO2.
Satellite data prevents the generation of unbacked tokens.
Carbon capture verified through satellite monitoring
Floodlight uses satellite data to monitor the trees on all carbon capture projects related to Coorest. The information gathered is sent to Coorest's smart contracts via the Chainlink network. This procedure is done every month and verifies that the trees exist and continue to absorb carbon.
How does Floodlight's satellite monitoring work?
"Snapshot"
Floodlight takes a snapshot of a project's trees and uses it as a reference.
Monthly check
Each month Floodlight checks if the trees are still there and in good condition. The data is compared to the initial snapshot.
Why is this check done?
To make sure the trees are present and continue to absorb carbon at the rate determined by Coorest's science team.
What happens if…
If too many trees die or are removed, Coorest's smart contracts stop generating carbon tokens for that project.
CCS Registry
The CCS Registry contains all the current projects onboarded by Coorest. In it, you can find relevant information on the Coorest Carbon Standard (CCS) and how Coorest verifies and tokenizes a project's CO2 absorption. It also shows how to claim, transfer and burn Coorest CO2 tokens.
