Website enables individuals, families and small businesses to offset their carbon footprint
Pine Bluff, Arkansas; August 6, 2024 – Graphyte, a leader in the high-quality carbon removal industry, today announced the launch of an online platform that enables individuals, households, and small businesses to have a direct impact on climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Graphyte’s platform offers different subscription plans for individuals, households, and businesses to purchase credits based on their carbon footprint. The company’s Carbon Casting technology, which sequesters carbon-containing biomass underground, allows the company to offer low-cost removals to any interested carbon credit buyer. These credits are a high impact way to offset emissions from activities like driving a gas-powered car, taking a long-distance flight, or heating and cooling your home.
“To date, the world’s largest corporations and governments have had the opportunity to make an impact on climate change through large-scale, and often expensive, carbon removal projects - but impactful change can’t happen in boardrooms and policymaking offices alone,” said Barclay Rogers, CEO of Graphyte. “Because Graphyte combines the low cost of nature-based approaches with the lasting impact of engineered removal, we are able to offer individuals, families, and small businesses who recognize the need to minimize and offset emissions the chance to affordably help make a difference for our planet today.”
Carbon credit buyers can be assured that the credits they purchase are verified as high-quality and durable because carbon removal registry Isometric has integrated their verification platform directly with Graphyte’s new offering. Isometric will certify all credits sold through Graphyte’s platform.
“We’re pleased to verify Graphyte’s innovative carbon removal activities and to enable access to our scientifically rigorous verification services for all buyers,” said Lukas May, Head of Expansion and Policy at Isometric. “With the launch of this Shopify store, you no longer need to be a large corporation to be confident in purchasing carbon removal. Small businesses and individuals can now incorporate carbon removal credits into their sustainability plans. And no matter the size of their purchase, they can benefit from the highest quality independent verification available on the market. This is a critical step to unlocking new demand and therefore helping carbon removal reach the gigatonne scale that the planet needs.”
Graphyte’s online store is powered by Shopify, the leading global commerce and entrepreneurship company with a long history of advancing and expanding the carbon removal market.
"Commerce can be a powerful vehicle for change,” said David Vranicar, Sustainability Operations Lead at Shopify. “Shopify is a company that champions entrepreneurs of all kinds, and we are passionate about using commerce to scale climate tech. We are thrilled to be supporting Graphyte to do exactly that and believe that our platform can dramatically improve the buying and selling process, further accelerating demand for high-quality carbon credits."
