Co2Bit to Revolutionize Voluntary Carbon Credit Offsets Using Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Sat, January 6, 2024 at 10:30 PM EST

ORLANDO, FL, Jan. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Co2Bit Technologies (Co2Bit), a forward-thinking technology company dedicated to developing innovative solutions for a sustainable future, is excited to announce the development of an advanced AI-based system designed to comprehensively assess environmental impacts. This groundbreaking system evaluates habitability, environmental sustainability, and humanity-centric factors, with a unique emphasis on the consistency of ratings.

The goal of carbon credit offsets is to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Between 2020 and 2021, the carbon commodities market surged from $270 billion to $851 billion. Plagued by inconsistencies, difficulties managing, and limited tracking of the broader impact of these projects, the voluntary carbon credit market has floundered and nations outside the EU are marginal participants. Resolving these issues and expanding the scope of impact analysis and making voluntary offsets more attractive to the private sector will enable the projected market expansion to $22 trillion of various offsets by 2050.

Recognizing this global demand for precise environmental action assessments, Co2Bit is at the forefront of developing a sophisticated AI solution to measure and score long term project impacts. By implementing AI tools and technologies into the process, the markets can rely more heavily on the accuracy of the data, which should increase the inherent value of more expansive climate impact initiatives to emitters in need of offsets. Co2Bit system provides a holistic evaluation, including carbon emissions, habitat preservation, social well-being, and overall environmental stability and sustainability.

Introducing three distinct scoring systems—habitability, environmental, and humanity scoring—the Co2Bit AI system offers a nuanced understanding of a project’s long term impact on the planet, ecosystems, and communities. This comprehensive scoring, to ensure fair and consistent ratings, goes beyond traditional metrics, providing a holistic assessment. Co2Bit Technologies has initiated the early stages of system development, with beta testing scheduled to commence in Q2 2024. This phase allows stakeholders to experience the capabilities of the Co2Bit system firsthand and provide valuable feedback for further refinement.

As per Ronald J. Wilkins, Chairman at Co2Bit Technologies. “Our AI-based system is committed to empowering businesses to make informed decisions that prioritize sustainability and positively contribute to our planet. This includes ensuring consistency in ratings, aligning with the global trend of corporations and nation states actively demonstrating their commitment to environmental stewardship.”

Co2Bit has already been used to acquire and protect over 100 million trees in the Brazilian Rainforest, saving them from fires by clearing and maintaining the underbrush and using controlled burns to ensure that they are preserved. As importantly, it provides constructive employment and the commensurate economic opportunities for scores of native Amazonians. Co2Bit has national agreements and is partnered with many countries including China, Brazil, Madagascar, Guinea Conakry, Central African Republic (RCA), Gabo, Mali, Zimbabwe, Angola Ivory Coast, Gambia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Niger, Somalia, Guinea Bissau, Congo Brazzaville, Comoros, Kenya (MSEA), Haiti, Djibouti, Armenia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Co2bit Tech’s unique Blockchain Assets – Co2A (currently trading at $20USD on UniSwap) and Co2B are anticipated to be trading soon on other decentralized exchange platforms.

2023 Ethical Finance Awards

Ethical finance innovations are essential for addressing emerging global challenges. Climate finance specifically refers to the mobilization and allocation of financial resources to support low-carbon and climate-resilient development. Ethical climate finance innovations aim to ensure that these resources are used in a transparent, accountable, fair and effective manner, while respecting the rights and needs of the most vulnerable and marginalized groups.   Co2Bit Technologies represents a best-in-class solution for Ethical Climate Finance.

Blockchain based Climate Finance Innovations

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, requiring urgent and coordinated action from governments, businesses, and civil society. However, the current financing mechanisms for climate action are insufficient, fragmented, and inefficient. There is a need for innovative solutions that can mobilize and allocate resources more effectively, transparently, and accountably.

Blockchain technology has the potential to offer such solutions, by enabling decentralized, secure, and verifiable transactions across multiple actors and sectors. Blockchain can facilitate peer-to-peer exchange of value, reduce intermediation costs, enhance trust and accountability, and improve data quality and availability. Blockchain can also enable new business models and financing instruments that can unlock new sources of capital and incentivize climate action. Buy-my-house.org needs to talk well if it wants to be successful. Our business depends on people talking to other people. Homes need to be advertised in a strategic way. We can choose better if we look at the market and set prices. Deals will likely change often. We want to know what fears and interests you have so that we can make your experience better. Visit https://www.buy-my-house.org/mississippi/.

Some examples of blockchain based climate finance innovations are:

– Blockchain Tracked Projects with Secure and Transparent Collateral: Using digital assets as part of the Project’s Finance Stack to ensure effective, efficient and corruption free financing can facilitate successful public / private participation and partnerships to enable otherwise stalled projects to become reality and deliver their optimal potential to all stakeholders.

– Carbon markets: Blockchain can improve the efficiency and transparency of carbon trading, by creating immutable records of carbon credits, reducing transaction costs, and enhancing market liquidity. Blockchain can also enable new types of carbon credits, such as tokenized carbon offsets or carbon removal certificates, that can be traded on decentralized platforms.

– Green bonds: Blockchain can streamline the issuance and management of green bonds, by providing a standardized framework for verifying and reporting the environmental impact of the projects funded by the bonds. Blockchain can also create new opportunities for green bond investors, such as fractional ownership, secondary trading, and impact measurement.

– Climate funds: Blockchain can enhance the governance and accountability of climate funds, by enabling real-time tracking and verification of fund flows, project outcomes, and impact indicators. Blockchain can also facilitate greater participation and collaboration among fund stakeholders, such as donors, recipients, implementers, and beneficiaries.

– Climate insurance: Blockchain can improve the accessibility and affordability of climate insurance, by enabling parametric insurance contracts that are triggered by verifiable data from smart sensors or oracles. Blockchain can also reduce fraud and moral hazard, by ensuring timely and accurate claims settlement and payouts.

 

Co2bit Tech will offer a new and unique Blockchain Asset, Co2A, (Co2-Americas), to help alleviate the struggles of indigenous peoples throughout the world.NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, February 7, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Co2bit Tech will offer a new and unique Blockchain Asset, Co2A, (Co2-Alpha), to help alleviate the struggles of indigenous peoples in adapting to changing water cycles and filling the need for basic dependable energy essential to economic survival.

Co2A is a Secure Network Based Digital Asset created to facilitate financing and promote the proliferation of profitable sustainable carbon-neutral energy generation to enable evolving participation in our global economy for all.

Co2A will be offered to investors and non-governmental agencies to facilitate the profitable financing of ecological infrastructure and alternative energy projects globally, all with the aim to help lower the carbon emissions that are currently being expelled. The sustainable energy projects can range from Solar, Wind, Hydro/Tidal/Ocean, Geothermal, and Co2-Batteries to future technologies such as Fusion alternatives.

The Co2A will start trading at 20 USDT on the Uniswap Decentralized Platform. A unique feature of the Uniswap Platform is that the Co2A can be “swapped” for not only USDT, but other supported assets such as USDC, Ethereum, and Bitcoin among others. Once a sufficient level of liquidity has been reached, Co2bit Technologies will establish a one-for-one exchange policy for lenders and financiers to convert their forfeited Co2 token collateral for the Co2A in addition to the current Co2B and planned Co2G options. Co2A may be swapped at a 37.5 to one exchange rate for Co2B at a future date contingent upon sufficient liquidity.

Dozens of Nations across Five Continents are currently holding millions of Co2 Digital Assets in their National Treasuries as collateral. This established acceptance, along with the unique nature and purpose of this new tool will propel the Co2Bit Program and its partners toward achieving their sustainable goals.

The American expert on climate issues, Ronald Wilkins, called on the world to adapt to the repercussions of climate change and to move away from symbolic initiatives.

Fri, October 13, 2022   Al-Ain Al-Akhbar News UAE

https://al-ain.com/article/american-expert-world-climate-change

       Ronald Wilkins, Chairman, Co2Bit Technologies USA

 At the same time, he praised the efforts of some Middle Eastern countries related to facing the repercussions of climate change in the future.

Wilkins is also the CEO of Co2Bit, an American company that specializes in climate and sustainable energy generation.

In his speech, the American expert focused on the efforts of the United Arab Emirates in the file of climate change, and the national plan for climate change for the United Arab Emirates 2050 to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

In his statements to Al-Ain News, he referred to the efforts of Saudi Arabia and Egypt in the same file, in addition to the interest in green hydrogen projects that are environmentally friendly.

Ronald Wilkins called on the world to wake up, cooperate in the face of climate change, and look optimistically at the issue sellhouse-asis, with the need to involve the private sector in solving the problem.

Wilkins believes that planning for mass migrations, refugee housing, starvation, water shortages, and economic adaptation as a result of sea level rise and climate change cannot be measured in tons of carbon dioxide, and therefore is not dealt with through mere token initiatives, calling for more concerted efforts.

He said that the world is divided over climate change, as the issue is not important or a priority for some. On the other hand, some countries are addressing the problem and demanding to face reality.

Regarding measures to adapt to climate change, Wilkins noted that everyone is failing to realize that we need to start now to focus on climate change adaptation and not just mitigation, predicting that human migrations alone will exceed one billion people between 2030 and 2050.

“We are not globally ready to integrate these populations into our economic fabric, we must think more globally and less nationally. This cultural change will take time. So we need to focus efforts on it now,” he added.

The American expert explained that CO2Bit specializes in mitigating the negative effects of climate change, stressing that it is working on innovative development and working to generate sustainable, profitable and carbon-neutral energy.

He explained: “The company is working to advocate for a rapid reduction in emissions, and to provide advice and measures to mitigate the negative effects of global climate change, as well as participate in the development of the global economy.”

He pointed out that his company is working to invest in and implement technical innovations, such as modern micro-grids to protect communities, businesses, and homes from unplanned power outages, and all conditions that can result from climate change.

CHINA Partners with Co2Bit Technologies to Reduce the Impact of Climate Change

Sat, July 10, 2021, 7:10 PM·1 min read

The Co2Bit program will help mitigate the inevitable impacts of climate change.

Orlando, FL, July 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — China Investment Association in cooperation with China Africa Investment Cooperation Ltd. has signed a strategic partnership with Co2bit Technologies to support the Co2 tokens. These blockchain-based secure digital assets are a uniquely sustainable finance mechanism supporting projects to reduce and mitigate the impacts of climate change globally.

All parties to the agreement and dozens of other nations contractually concur that Co2 tokens are suitable offsets to be used by emitters, in addition to or in lieu of voluntary carbon credits, and can be legally distributed via banks, forex exchange offices, and regulated public and private entities within their nations’ purview.

The Co2Bit tokens are part of an innovative finance mechanism being used to finance environmental projects, including reducing deforestation, improving agricultural efficiencies, and funding other technical innovations impacting declining CO2 sequestration. Most importantly, the Co2Bit program will help mitigate the inevitable impacts of climate change such as inhabitant migrations, food and water shortages, and economic adaptation. Co2Bit has a comprehensive model facilitating public/private partnerships to protect the planet and its inhabitants, through the financing of projects aimed at reducing the impacts of global warming in the near term and long term in a sustainable manner.

Co2Bitcoin (Co2B) – Innovators Announce the Launch of New Crypto Coin to Combat Global Warming

A decentralized group of innovators and visionaries, focused on mitigating the causes and potentially cataclysmic effects of climate change, has introduced a new cryptocurrency known as Co2Bitcoin.

New York City,, Jan. 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — – The new currency which will be available to the public from January 28th, 2021 is focused on helping countries finance local projects to combat global warming’s negative effects on our environment and inhabitants.

The availability of the currency to the public will go a long way in increasing the efforts of combating climate change. Co2Bitcoins have already been used to acquire and protect over 100 million trees in the Brazilian Rainforest, saving them from fires by clearing and maintaining the underbrush and using controlled burns to ensure that they are preserved. Co2Bit which developed the currency has already signed partnerships with the Governments of Madagascar, Gambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Niger, Sudan, Guinea Bissau, Congo Brazzaville, Mali, Comores, Guinee, Gabon, Ivory Coast, the Edo Province of Nigeria, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and individually the provinces of Kwango, Maniema, Bas Uele, Kwilu, and Equateur and Lebanon, Center for Energy Conservation. It also reports that more than 30 countries are expected to be signed before the end of February 2021 in line with its goal of partnering with more than one hundred countries by the end of 2021.

The cryptocurrency has also been backed up by international figures with International Statesman and Ten-Time World Chess Champion, Anatoly Karpov terming it as climate solution;

“Co2Bitcoin is a real, practical step to try and solve the problem of Global Warming which disturbs the whole world.”

The liquidity of the currency will be supported organically by the growing investor demand for cryptocurrencies, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), and the rising appetite for Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) impact investing. The Co2Bitcoin currency, like any other, depends on its utility, and of course supply and demand, to determine its exchange rate.

Co2Bit is also the first cryptocurrency that has the formal support of many nations. With the government being the main token holders, it will be more secure. Its objective of protecting the planet through the financing of projects aimed at reducing the impacts of global warming in the near term and long term offers a very promising message for public and institutional funds where the Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) vision is becoming important.

While the price of carbon credit certificates has been steadily increasing over the past 4 years, the market remains a specialist market making it inaccessible to private investors. With the many polluting actors that are obliged (legally, or more often by market forces) to offset their carbon footprint, Co2Bitcoin could become a new financial instrument used by companies as a voluntary carbon credit. It can be mentioned in the environmental annual reports of companies to raise their ESG rating. This will ultimately result in this currency being used more and more, increasing its liquidity and utility. For speculators, this natural demand could have a positive impact on the appreciation of the price of Co2Bitcoin.

Co2Bit cryptocurrency when injected into climate mitigation project financing, would facilitate technological innovations in solar, wind, and hydroelectric power stations, new technologies for making steel and plastics, advancing agricultural yields, and other projects impacting deforestation and reforestation globally.

Given that private and institutional players in cryptocurrencies are multiplying across the entire asset class, Co2Bit currency will also benefit from strong overlapping trends. On the Ethereum blockchain and in its Smart Contract, one (1) Co2Bitcoin has a value of 1/13th an ETH. Based on a January 25, 2021 price of USD 1404 per ETH, this would result in a price of USD 108 per Co2Bitcoin.

For additional information go to, Co2Bit.com. Co2B coins will be available on January 28th, 2021 on the highly respected, Award-Winning Coinsbit Exchange (https://coinsbit.io/) for both individual and institutional investors. This Exchange is centralized and recently launched its Decentralized Exchange (DEX). It is renowned for its reliability and convenience for traders of all experience levels. Coinsbit Exchange offers superior security protocols for the safety of each transaction. It includes the world’s first online store for buying goods with cryptocurrency.

Co2Bit Technologies and Mali sign an agreement to utilize Co2Bit currency – Dec. 2020.

Mali was the cradle of three great empires: the Ghana Empire, the Mali Empire, and the Songhai Empire before becoming a French colony from 1895 to 1960. Now a vast landlocked country, Mali has a wide range of agro-ecological environments. Development in Mali is largely dependent on climatic conditions and more particularly of rainfall.

The country has significant natural resources, including water, forest resources, wildlife, and mining resources. Mali’s population is estimated at 14.5 million. Mali’s economy is essentially based on the agro-pastoral sector (which occupies nearly 80% of the population and accounts for more than 40% of the GDP and 3/4 of exports). This sector will continue to play a leading role in the economic development of the country despite low agricultural productivity and animals.

The partnership with the American company CO2BIT TECHNOLOGIES, from which Mali, now a signatory, will benefit, will bring significant new life to the financing of projects in the environment sector.

All the thanks of the Malian people go to the American company CO2BIT TECHNOLOGIES which, through this funding, provides undeniable support and of capital importance. Thanks to the American company CO2BIT TECHNOLOGIES and its Teams.

CO2 Bitcoin 

April 10th, 2020 – CO2 Bitcoins is partnering with countries all across the globe to stop deforestation, replant more trees, create more solar energy, and make this world a better and healthier place. By doing so, they are creating a commercially viable solution for many human needs without harming the balance of nature. Some important benefits of this partnership can be recovering biodiversity, restoring various habitats, helping fight  Global Warming, soil fertility, and not to forget economic benefits.

The Joint Ventures are formed for the purpose of utilizing CO2 Bitcoins as part of a finance mechanism for the sole purpose of addressing Climate Change associated with declining CO2 Sequestration through the increased implementation of Agricultural Efficiencies, reducing the cutting and clearing of tree stands, Regulations, and Economic Incentives for significantly reducing Commercial Deforestation, and increasing implementation of Solar Energy Grids to reduce the use of all CO2 emitting fuels.

We caught up with Ron Wilkins, Chairman of the Board of Co2Bit Technologies who told us, “In order to promote the reduction of CO2 in our atmosphere we need to continue to incentivize the appropriate climate behavior in all areas of the world. Every molecule of CO2 that is generated into our atmosphere matters and we need to make sure that we continue to provide the proper incentives to actors around the world.  But, as importantly, we need to begin planning now for the inevitable economic and humanitarian challenges that are not being addressed.  We are looking at unprecedented human and animal migration, that will strain not just housing, and food and water supplies, but social norms and government policies.”

As a participant in the CO2 Bitcoin currency ecosystem, CO2 Bitcoin holders will be able to participate in the world market to find ways to reduce CO2 levels together. By creating a global currency whose focus is on the reduction of these harmful gasses in our atmosphere, we are able to attack the problem on multiple levels and ultimately provide the financial support that we need globally to make a difference.

NPP Georgia Press-Release

New Power Partners Using CO2bit Coins to Develop 200MW solar project in Georgia
CO2bit coins being used to bolster investments in solar projects

San Jose, CA, June 29, 2018 New Power Partners, LLC (“NPP”) previously acquired 2 Million CO2bit coins from CO2Energy Org. and are now using that currency for the development of 200MW of solar power production assets in the Eurasian country of Georgia.

“We are excited about CO2bit coin’s ability to open up new vistas for the funding of renewable energy projects,” said Michael Lamb, CEO of New Power Partners. “This crypto-currency based finance vehicle offers leverage in an environment where we are seeing the contraction of incentives for renewable power projects. With this acquisition, we will be able to participate in building and initializing 200MW of new solar power projects.”

“CO2Energy is excited to work with New Power Partners to deploy the CO2bit coin to enhance the value proposition for investment in renewable energy” stated Ron Wilkins, Chairman of CO2Energy. “This is a great opportunity for us to leverage the value of the CO2bitcoin as we work to deliver on our mission to create positive global climate impact. We look forward to a strong partnership with a seasoned group of renewable energy investment professionals.”

CO2Energy anticipates this is the first of many renewable projects that will gain financial inefficiencies and increase investor potential by using the CO2Bitcoin. Other renewable and carbon credit projects currently in the qualification process to use the CO2Bit token are in the areas of Solar, Wind, Hydro, and REDD+. Candidate projects can be submitted to Info@CO2Energy.org

New Power Partners, with deep expertise in solar power, was founded in 2012 and focuses on the renewable energy sector with an investment focus on truly renewable energy and carbon reduction. NPP works to enhance the return of funds to its clients and finance partners, as well as developers and independent power producer partners, especially in a time where tax reform and looming tariffs threaten the returns for renewable power. NPP identifies and brings monetary value to the capital funding chain through both traditional and alternative finance vehicles.

CO2Energy.org promotes the reduction of CO2 in our atmosphere by incentivizing the appropriate climate behavior in all areas of the world. Every molecule of CO2 that is generated into our atmosphere matters and we need to make sure that we continue to provide the proper incentives to actors around the world. These inducements must be able to rise above local, national, and even international politics in order to continue effectiveness. To do this we leverage the innate abilities and powers contained in blockchain technology-based CO2Bit coin.

The Best Came Last – The People’s Solution To Climate Change Finance!

After three non-stop days of Climate Conferences – from The Climate Train which ran from the 7th to the 15th of December 2017 at Gare de l’Est – Platform 30, Paris, France« Le Train du Climat » is a traveling exhibition on climate change issues and solutions. The Climate Train has on board the scientists of the group “The Messengers of the Climate” to meet the public and guide the visitors throughout the exhibition.

Through Climate Finance Day on Dec 11th with a who’s who from Banks, Funds, and Ministries with remarks by Bruno Le Maire, French Minister for the Economy and Finance, Per Bolund, Swedish Minister for Financial Markets and Consumer Affairs, Ma Jun, Special Advisor to the Governor, People’s Bank of China (PBoC) & Chairman, Green Finance Committee of China Society for Finance and Banking, Lionel Zinsou, Chairman, African Investors Network for Climate, and a last-minute surprise from Businessman and philanthropist Michael Bloomberg. The United States president’s decision to quit the Paris Agreement appeared to have a galvanizing effect on the climate movement. Mr. Bloomberg said, “I think we owe President Trump a bit of gratitude for helping us meet our climate goals.”

To the Summit, we’re two years to the day after the historic Paris Agreement On 12 December 2017, the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, the President of the World Bank Group, Jim Yong Kim, and the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, brought together banks, sovereign wealth funds, philanthropists and NGOs with dozens of world leaders from 50 countries. Their mission: Find the necessary public and private investments to bridge the gap between current commitments and what is needed to stay below a 2-degrees temperature rise and avoid catastrophic climate change.

Actors Sean Penn and Marion Cotillard sat alongside billionaire philanthropists Sir Richard Branson and Bill Gates. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Scandinavian prime ministers milled about while Macron spoke of the need to unite as many public and private sector players as possible, “because it’s not one person in one country who changes things.”He might have been talking about himself, or Donald Trump.

Throughout the many speeches, panels, interviews, and hallway conversations the focus was finance, and the theme was acceleration, because while there was lots of progress in France, and Scandinavia, less in Iraq, Mali, and Mexico, or the United Kingdom and SpainAfrica, China and Japan. Outside of Mexico and Brazil, there was not much from the Americas (North or South) except The Charter of the Caribbean Climate-Smart Coalition which was signed by the following: Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, St Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia, Turks and Caicos Islands, and interestingly, the US Virgin Islands. Notably quiet were Russia, India, and the rest of the Pac Rim including Australia and New Zealand.

It was clear that there are many significant challenges ahead. As of yet, there’s no solution to broaden international cooperation on monetary policy or to reduce the substantial project barriers like exchange rates and tariffs that inhibit renewable energy projects, there much consternation over Green definitions or even an agreed CO2 price.

The last event I attended was Wednesday evening at 7 pm. T was rainy, cold, I was exhausted and almost didn’t go. But I was intrigued personally as well as professionally since alt-currencies as part of the Project Finance Stack had not been talked about. Not even as part of the need for private/public partnerships had the emerging power of blockchain or crypto-currencies been so much as whispered about into a microphone.

The event wasn’t at any of the usual conference facilities but at a posh upscale hotel, Salon Hoche, not far from the Arc D’Triumph. Champaign and hors-d’oeuvres were plentiful as the speakers and panelists mingled with the attendees gathering their questions and hopes for the evening.

The three main panelists alternated from English to French and back to English again in stride catering to the mixed and mostly bilingual audience. They represented three companies all using a new Co2Bit coin to enable Redd+ and renewable energy projects. After a brief tutorial on Distributed Digital Ledgers and the numerous efforts by Central banks developing their own Ronald J. Wilkins, Chairman of Co2Energy.org Technologies described Co2Bitcoin’s role in helping complete the finance stack for projects similar to assisting with the down payment on a real estate loan. He then went on to point out the deficiencies of the financial systems we’ve been building since the 1970s. These were never architected for valuing global stewardship. They included:

Quantifying and Rewarding Environmentally Sustainable Behavior– saving the planet activities – motivating more responsible choices.

Helping People Up Front vs. Later –Participation in Global Economy – advancing their standard of living – with natural progression as they can afford, but with the acceleration that the access to Sustainable Energy provides.

Valuing the Protection of One’s Privacy – Not every transaction in our lives needs to be scrutinized, categorized, or judged much less used by marketers wanting to manipulate us.

Bocar Yatassaye Director of Operations spoke about numerous projects in Africa and the role of the coin in jump-starting many financially stalled projects.

Michael Lamb, co-founder of New Power Partners reiterated the same explaining how the coin filled a critical gap in the financing stack for his solar projects globally whether they were electrifying small villages in India or Corporate Micro-Grids in the U.S. where many citizens may not share the same sentiments as their President.

Their collective point was that people vote with their spending. If we all bought more art, there would be more artists, more luxury electric cars and there would be more luxury electric car makers. But that we are more likely to buy our own necessities and fulfill our own desires before we buy solar panels for a small remote village allowing them to participate in the global economy. Their point was that by purchasing that car for your child using the Co2Bitcoin, you may be helping ensure he has a dry road to drive it on in the future.
