Limited edition Carbon Reserve Certificate Issue

Open World BioChar Reserve Certificates; denominations:
Value (in SEK) Price CO2e (equivalent) Carbon (BioChar weight)
1,000.- 900.- One ton 0.25 t
5,000.- 4,500.- Five tons 1.25 t
10,000.-  9,000.- Ten tons 2.50 t

Please note: prices reflect estimated actual cost of biochar production, not carbon market prices for carbon sequestration.

The certificates are based on “Voluntary Carbon Market” norms and include a pre-purchase for production of a BioChar “Reserve” which will be used for soil enrichment and count for carbon sequestration thru VCM; duly verified and geotagged. In a phase 2, the certificates will furthermore progressively become valid payment for CO2 negative products/produce developed/grown within the network using biochar enriched soil (coffee, tea, cacau, sugar and it’s derivatives, etc.). The certificates include a 10% “discount” or ROI at time of purchase. It’s important to state that this is a pre-payment towards future production of BioChar. There will of course also be a disclaimer explaining that there is also a risk factor involved.

For the buyer/investor, you get:

  1. Actual carbon sequestration upon production (once the project gets up and running, we will have a built up “reserve” of CO2 in Biochar)
  2. Future credit on purchases of carbon negative products
  3. Up-front ROI
  4. Feel-good factor for enriching soil, creating jobs, growing healthy food.

Special offer! Carbon Reserve Certificates

Carbon (CO2) Negative is Earth Positive!

Special offer! Buy a BioChar Reserve Certificate today, enjoy Wild Grown Carbon Negative Coffee Tomorrow!

Open World Foundation is working with coffee growers in Brazil to plant trees and add biochar carbon to their soil. Biochar increases soil fertility, water retention and actively mitigates climate change. Not only carbon neutral, this is carbon negative! By adding biochar to the soil we remove CO2 from the atmosphere for thousands of years!

Purchasing a BioChar Reserve Certificate you help us make this project possible. On average, including shipping, roasting, and packaging, it takes four kilos of carbon to make one kilo of coffee. One kilo of coffee can make a BIG difference!

To make your coffee carbon negative, Open World Growers are committing to sequester at least four times as much carbon by weight as the amount of coffee they ship. Now coffee drinkers can enjoy our Wild Grown organic goodness while contributing to the environment and a better world.

And coffee lovers can contribute even more! by purchasing the 1000 SEK (€ 125.-) Biochar Reserve Certificate up front now, you will qualify for the first of many planet-friendly deals we are lining up.

Six kilos of coffee (wholesale) with BioChar Certificate – Ordinary = SEK 1,310 (€ 160.-)
– Purchased with Certificate = SEK 1000 – That’s a 24 % discount!
