Absolutely it does. Carbon markets have suffered from a long record of abuse. Standards are lax, accountability almost non-existent, and there is almost no transparency. Many corporations around the world have become wary of voluntary carbon markets and are becoming reluctant to use offsets because they have lost trust. CarbonKerma places carbon market integrity at the forefront of our work. Our aim is to encourage the widespread deployment of Carbon Capture–a real decarbonization solution–and restore trust and integrity to offsetting so that companies with unabatable emissions can reduce their net carbon footprint with confidence. Furthermore, no major registry has developed the methodology for listing CCUS-derived carbon credits. To the extent that we have already established a sound methodology based on regulatory and ISO standards, DigiKerma plays the role of a registry for CCUS-derived offset credits.  DigiKerma is confident in our own methodology, which is built on EPA and ISO Standards: the highest in the world. As flaws in the voluntary carbon market have been exposed and well-documented, we increasingly find corporations seeking more credible offsetting service providers. CarbonKerma fulfills all the functions of an established registry, but our rigorous onboarding process exceeds those applied by larger registries.   The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) points to the unimportance of registry-ceritifcation if the following conditions are met:  “The carbon-crediting program shall operate or make use of a registry to uniquely identify, record and track mitigation activities and carbon credits issued to ensure credits can be identified securely and unambiguously.”   CarbonKerma, as a marketplace, does in fact play the role of a registry insofar as we “uniquely identify, record, and track mitigation activities and carbon credits issued.”
