FAQs

Carbon removal projects are initiatives designed to extract CO2 from the atmosphere and store it safely to mitigate climate change. These projects can involve natural processes like afforestation and soil carbon sequestration, or technological methods like Direct Air Capture and BECCS.

Carbon removal is crucial for reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which helps to mitigate global warming and climate change. It complements emission reduction efforts and is essential for achieving net-zero carbon targets.

Soil carbon sequestration captures CO2 from the atmosphere and stores it in the soil. This is achieved through practices such as planting cover crops, crop rotation, and no-till farming, which enhance soil organic matter and lock in carbon.

Direct Air Capture (DAC) uses chemical processes to directly capture CO2 from the air. Once captured, the CO2 can be stored underground or used in various industrial applications, making DAC a powerful tool in the fight against climate change.

BECCS, or Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage, involves producing energy from biomass, capturing the CO2 emissions generated, and storing them underground. This process not only generates renewable energy but also removes CO2 from the atmosphere.

Participating in carbon removal projects helps companies offset their emissions, meet sustainability goals, enhance their corporate social responsibility profile, and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change. It also positions businesses as leaders in environmental stewardship.

Sigma Carbon employs strict monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) processes to ensure that each project effectively removes the intended amount of CO2. This includes using advanced tracking technologies and independent third-party audits to maintain transparency and accountability.

Sigma Carbon supports a range of carbon removal projects, including afforestation, reforestation, soil carbon sequestration, Direct Air Capture (DAC), and Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). These diverse projects ensure a comprehensive approach to reducing atmospheric CO2 levels.

A carbon credit represents the removal or reduction of one metric ton of CO2 from the atmosphere. Companies can purchase these credits to offset their emissions and meet sustainability goals.

Investing in carbon credits allows your business to offset unavoidable emissions, meet regulatory requirements, improve sustainability ratings, and enhance your brand’s reputation among eco-conscious consumers.
