CZero(Carbon Zero) is a carbon neutralization initiative DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) project operated independently by participants with the goal of zero carbon. It is a community-run blockchain-based organization where people who sympathize with the problem consciousness of the climate crisis gather to raise problems, present carbon-neutral initiatives, and act together to solve problems.
CZero = Carbon Zero initiative + ReFi + Impact DAO + Energy Crowd Funding + NFT + Renewable Energy
Carbon Zero
It is a concept that reduces greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activities as much as possible, and absorbs (forest, etc.) and removes (CCUS*) the remaining greenhouse gases, resulting in zero actual emissions. In other words, the amount of carbon emitted and the amount of carbon absorbed is equal so that the carbon ‘net emission is zero’.
ReFi
Regenerative finance refers to a new financial paradigm and investment approach that seeks to create positive impact and restore balance to the natural and social systems. It aims to finance projects that promote regenerative agriculture, renewable energy, and sustainable community development, among other things. It prioritizes long-term, systemic solutions over short-term financial gains, and incorporates concepts such as social and environmental responsibility, circular economics, and stakeholder engagement.
Impact DAO
An Impact DAO is a type of blockchain-based organization. Impact DAOs are specifically designed to align with and promote positive social and environmental outcomes. This is achieved by allowing members to vote on proposals that finance projects that generate a positive impact, such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and community development. Impact DAOs use token-based systems to incentivize positive actions, provide governance and decision-making power to its members, and ensure transparency and accountability.
Energy Crowd Funding
Energy crowd funding refers to a financing model where a large number of individuals pool their money together to fund renewable energy projects, such as solar or wind farms. This model allows individuals to invest in renewable energy projects and contribute to the transition to a low-carbon energy system, even if they do not have the financial resources to do so on their own. The goal is to democratize access to renewable energy investment opportunities and enable more people to support the transition to a sustainable energy future.
NFT
NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token, which is a type of digital asset stored on a blockchain. NFTs are unique, indivisible, and irreplaceable, in contrast to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, which are fungible and divisible. Because they are stored on a blockchain, NFTs have a permanent and tamper-proof record of ownership, providing artists and creators with a new way to monetize their work and establish provenance.
Renewable Energy
Renewable energy refers to energy sources that are naturally replenished, such as wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, and biomass. Renewable energy sources are replenished naturally and will not run out. The use of renewable energy can help reduce the dependence on non-renewable sources, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, and create a more sustainable energy future.
