MintZero is the easiest way for small and high-growth businesses to neutralize their carbon footprint
No data? No problem. We’ve got you covered with estimated footprints and there are no forms to fill or audits to undergo, and no hidden costs or fees. Just select the MintZero NFT that fits your needs and you are instantly carbon neutral for 10 years.
Carbon credit prices are projected to increase by 100% or more, but your MintZero purchase means you have no price risk for 10 years. Excess coverage is low-cost: you own your credits and can trade or sell any credits that you don’t need as offsets.
We’ve got you covered with a range of carbon projects, from forest protection to clean technologies, and we work only with projects with third-party verification, such as Gold Standard or Verra, carefully vetted by our in-house climate experts.
Even the smallest businesses deserve to tell their carbon neutral story. MintZero makes it foolproof with our ready-to-use social media assets, trademarks, and PR kits, and your company logo and carbon offsets history can be displayed on the MintZero website.

FAQs
Carbon credits are measurable, verifiable emission reductions from certified climate action projects. These projects reduce, remove or avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Some projects also can generate other positive benefits, such as improving community livelihoods, protecting ecosystems, restoring forests or reducing pollution from fossil fuels. One carbon credit is equal to one ton of carbon dioxide equivalent Greenhouse Gasses (GHGs).
Organizations that have a carbon emissions footprint from their business activities, such as driving, airline flights, energy use, and everyday tech hardware use like laptops, can buy and retire carbon credits, to “offset” their footprint. Offsetting is generally used in instances where it is not yet possible to fully reduce one’s carbon emissions to zero, e.g. to achieve net zero emissions.
Yes, absolutely. All of the carbon offsets tokenized and delivered to MintZero NFT owners will have attained verification to one of the leading carbon credit standards, such as Verra or Gold Standard. Many of the projects we work with will also have attained additional verifications for the social impacts that they have on communities, such as clean energy access, improved health, and women’s empowerment. All of the verified attributes will be visible to both the NFT owner and the public, as they will form part of the carbon credit token metadata.
NFT owners will have complete visibility into the details of their carbon credits, including project location, offset registry number and data, vintage, and additional social impacts. This data will eventually be built into the member token’s metadata, making it transparent for everyone in the market or for future transfers of the digital assets.
Here is a simple table that estimates the footprint of small businesses that operate in the tech, online, or services space based on the number of employees and assuming the company has minimal office space (mostly remote workforce), minimal commuting, and low to average airline travel. These estimates are based on the ICT Footprint EU Self Assessment Tool - Organizations, you can view the methodology on their website, and if you’d like a more customized footprint for your business you can fill out their easy-to-use tool here.
There are several good resources being developed to estimate crypto-related footprints, please reach out and we can help you to access the right tools or estimates.
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are unique cryptographic tokens that exist on a blockchain and cannot be replicated. NFTs can represent real world assets or rights to assets, and tokenizing these assets makes buying, selling, and trading them more efficient, while reducing risk of fraud. Because they are based on blockchain, NFTs can remove the need for intermediaries, simplify transactions, and create new markets, all goals of MintZero!
MintZero is a project of ALMA Climate Solutions, part of ALMA Sustainable Finance, a sustainable development investment management firm. ALMA is working with a broad group of stakeholders to design and develop the MintZero platform including carbon project developers, small businesses, and crypto market participants including decentralized finance (DeFi) providers.

The goal of MintZero is to make it easier and faster for small businesses to begin their carbon neutral journey, while connecting carbon offset projects with new types of customers. The more members and stakeholders on the MintZero platform, the faster we can achieve these goals through our ability to connect more carbon market participants via the MintZero NFT.
If your organization has a carbon footprint, you can achieve long-term carbon neutrality through your participation in MintZero. In addition to carbon offsetting that benefits the planet, your organization can benefit from improved brand visibility and climate-neutral credentials that may be important to your customers, employees, investors, or other stakeholders.
Ten years might seem long, but for the Earth and its ecosystems, this is a planetary blink of an eye. We need to commit to offsetting carbon for at least the next 10 years (and probably for the next 50 years) in order to reach the goals set out in the Paris Agreement.
Your MintZero purchase is a digital asset that could be sold to another buyer, this functionality is one of the basic tenets of NFT assets that we plan to add to the platform as it grows.
MintZero uses Solana, a public, open-source blockchain that supports smart contracts, including non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and a variety of decentralized applications (dApps). Native to Solana’s blockchain is the SOL token which provides network security through staking as well as a means of transferring value. Learn more at https://solana.com/.
Some blockchain protocols use a lot of energy, and hence have a higher carbon footprint, but MintZero is built on the Solana blockchain, which is carbon neutral!
