Overview

Short Story

Eco Assets Exchange

We formed EAE upon realizing that today’s carbon credit markets, and associated support systems, do not provide the financial rigor necessary to allow carbon credits to be fully recognized as fungible commercial assets.

Problems with greenwashing, and out-right fraud, plague the carbon credit eco-system, with no global regulatory body, and currently accepted standards coming under legitimate scrutiny.

By combining our expertise, both Geo Innova and ARC Carbon are confident in forging a path to provide industries with the financial tools available for other regulated commodities – insurance, forwards, futures, etc.

By creating true financial incentives, businesses can make positive economic decisions while rapidly addressing global carbon and other green house gas emissions.

As the world continues to grapple with climate change remediation, the carbon economy becomes more important.

Capabilities

The speed with which science and technology has advanced, in conjunction with a lack of globally agreed upon standards, has created a wild west atmosphere in the carbon credit sector.

Audits of global agricultural registries have led to extreme doubts of their estimate models, and their effectiveness for mitigating carbon emissions. This makes it imperative that businesses and industries looking to make a true impact on the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, work with partners that understand the sector from all sides.

Science

Our team brings together years of experience with environmental science and engineering, including geology, chemistry, agriculture, and ecological economics. We understand the needs of the industry, as well as those of the environment.

Technology

Our team has designed and implemented systems using the most up to date software and hardware solutions, including satellite imagery, distributed ledgers (web3 / blockchains), IoT, and artificial intelligence.

Finance & Regulation

While commodities have been traded under internationally regulated standards for decades, carbon credits have historically lacked the guard rails and tools to move from credit to asset.

Our experience with regulated financial products, including insurance, and secondary markets, allows us to design assets for today, and the future. Our expertise in mathematical modeling and financial engineering is an asset to decision-making and risk management.

Innovation

Working in conjunction with our clients to develop short- and long-term innovations, that combine environmental solutions, with financial incentives. We are confident that our capabilities and expertise can drive revenue while addressing the climate.
