Carbon Asset Developer Associates (PRIVATE.CARBONASSET)

CAS origins date back to 2018 when the two ‘old-hand’ founders Ian Jones and Hamish Macdonald brought their attention to the climate change problem. They investigated current and future problems with the nature-based carbon offset marketplace and then went looking for effective solutions. The core problem with carbon offsets and nature-based solutions was identified with their integrity and the carbon soil testing methodology. The solution was found with Alabama University’s MINS – Mobile Inelastic Neutron Scanning unit. The MINS unit is the world’s most accurate and advanced soil scanning methodology and works at the atomic level. CAS secured the exclusive global license for the MINS unit, partnering with the United States Department of Agriculture. The next problem to solve was the transparency of the carbon credits from initial scanning to completion. This led to partnering with Microsoft and Azure to register data in the blockchain from the scanning, on the day to verification and completion. CAS is the first global company to provide a complete end to end MRV solution – Measuring, Reporting and Verification to be able to provide the highest integrity and quality carbon offsets. With no soil scanning fee for farmers, an included Carbon Intensity Score Certificate provided for free and measured contribution to 9 of the 17 UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for all projects, CAS is a world leader in the voluntary carbon offset credit supplier marketplace.
