Carbon Zero

Carbon Zero is a climate technology company that aims to simplify carbon-neutral living for individuals. Their core offering is an API that integrates with credit or debit card products, automatically calculating the carbon footprint associated with a consumer's spending. This empowers brands, banks, and financial technology companies to provide their clients with tools to measure, reduce, and offset their carbon footprints.

The Carbon Zero API serves as a carbon assessment layer, analyzing a customer's transactions to determine their corresponding carbon emissions. Customers can then redeem reward points to fund a wide range of offsetting projects, effectively neutralizing the carbon impact of their spending.

In addition to the API, Carbon Zero offers a Marketplace that incentivizes footprint reduction. This platform provides discounts on sustainable alternatives across various categories, such as household energy, packaged goods, and clothing, encouraging customers to shift their spending toward eco-friendly options.

Carbon Zero's approach centers on three key principles: Measuring, Reducing, and Offsetting. By providing in-app reporting on carbon footprints, facilitating access to sustainable alternatives, and enabling offsetting through reward point redemption, the company aims to align consumer actions and transactions with environmental concerns.
