Our End-of-Year Report for 2024 is here, and we are proud to reflect on the progress and achievements of SavePlanetEarth (SPE) and it’s Planetary Carbon Standard (PCS). Guided by our commitment to meaningful climate action, we navigated significant milestones despite the ever-evolving global landscape. Our community’s unwavering dedication has allowed us to continue advancing innovative technologies, strengthening partnerships, and laying the groundwork for the year to come.
Ethereum Migration
A pivotal accomplishment was our successful migration to Ethereum. This technical feat has already begun to yield numerous benefits for our ecosystem. First and foremost, Ethereum’s proven security and extensive developer community have given our project a new level of trust and legitimacy, ensuring that stakeholders feel confident about the integrity of our tokens and transactions. By moving onto the Ethereum network, we have also unlocked opportunities for deeper interoperability within the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, granting easier integration with other platforms and helping expand the availability and utility of our carbon credits. Finally, Ethereum’s higher liquidity pools will facilitate more efficient price discovery and trading, supporting the long-term stability of our ecosystem.
Carbon Credit Marketplace
The official release of our PCS Marketplace was another landmark achievement. This platform lies at the heart of our mission to democratize access to high-quality carbon credits. By emphasizing usability and transparency, we have created a marketplace where both crypto veterans and newcomers can confidently buy, sell, and retire PCS-verified carbon credits. Central to this marketplace is its rigorous validation of each credit, which ensures that only scientifically verified reductions and removals are listed, thereby safeguarding the environmental integrity of every project involved. The Marketplace has already begun to attract a growing user base of investors, businesses, and individuals, affirming its role as a global hub for responsible climate finance.
Invest in Climate Action
Invest in Climate Action (IICA) was our pioneering framework that empowered individuals and organizations to directly fund and benefit from credible environmental initiatives. By combining transparent carbon accounting with accessible crowdfunding, IICA bridged the gap between climate-conscious supporters and tangible on-the-ground projects. In 2024, we launched two flagship ventures under the IICA umbrella: a 100kW solar project and a 10-acre tree-planting initiative, both exemplifying our commitment to real-world impact.
These projects were introduced through a digital shares crowdfunding model, which allowed backers to purchase fractional ownership and receive quantifiable carbon offset and additional revenue benefits. The 100kW solar installation will be established in a region heavily dependent on fossil fuels, ensuring each kilowatt-hour of clean energy produced contributes meaningfully to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, the 10-acre tree-planting effort focused on revitalizing degraded land and promoting biodiversity, with every newly planted sapling laying the foundation for long-term carbon sequestration and healthier ecosystems.
Planetary Carbon Standard
PCS’s monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) system is at the heart of these initiatives. Investors, project developers, and independent auditors alike rely on a transparent ledger to track performance—from the exact amount of electricity generated by the solar project to the survival and growth rates of the newly planted trees. This data-driven methodology guarantee that each carbon offset is not only authentic but also scientifically validated. By taking part in these IICA projects, participants go beyond simple investments; they became active stakeholders in a sustainable future, realizing tangible ecological and financial benefits while championing the fight against climate change.
Corporate Interest in our Carbon Credits
Over the past year, we have expanded our network through partnerships and collaborations that speak to the growing momentum of climate action worldwide. By working with environmental NGOs, government agencies (KSA, DRC, Sri Lanka, Kazakhstan, Uganda), and corporate entities such as World Vision, BNI and The International Maritime Conference 2024 in Colombo. We have bolstered the external validation of our methodologies and opened new paths for on-the-ground project development. Our collaboration with corporates in particular has been fruitful, as more businesses seek to offset their carbon footprints while aligning with the credible standards our PCS Marketplace guarantees. Complementing these institutional alliances are our community initiatives, which promote local engagement and bring direct benefits to the people and ecosystems at the heart of our climate projects.
At the center of our movement remains a vibrant global community whose commitment to SPE and PCS drives our project forward. Their participation in social media campaigns for beach clean ups, webinars, and local events has helped us educate the wider public about carbon offsetting and the importance of verifiable climate action.
What's next?
Looking ahead to 2025, we are prepared to deepen our impact through an enhanced focus on the credibility of the PCS methodology and the expansion of carbon credit sales boosting the $SPE use case. By continuing to refine our frameworks based on the latest scientific insights, we will further bolster the Planetary Carbon Standard’s reputation for rigor and trustworthiness. We also plan to secure additional third-party verifications, reinforcing global recognition of our credits and elevating their standing within the carbon market. On the sales front, we will concentrate on strengthening relationships with large-scale corporate buyers and public institutions.
Staking will remain a key feature of our ecosystem. In 2025, we aim to launch new staking functionalities that not only reward long-term holders but also help maintain liquidity and healthy market conditions. Building on our current momentum, we will explore advanced decentralized finance solutions, including yield farming and cross-chain bridges, to attract an even wider community to climate finance. Simultaneously, we will continue to invest in cutting-edge research - particularly in the areas of data-driven monitoring and AI-enhanced project verification—ensuring that our carbon credit methodology remains at the forefront of scientific and technological progress. We also plan to expand IICA to cover more sectors and geographies, simplifying compliance and reporting for a broader array of environmental initiatives.
In 2025, we plan to embark on a major marketing push that will encompass the entire SPE and PCS suite of offerings. This campaign will include an affiliate program featuring commission-based strategies, incentivizing partners and advocates to help spread our message and highlight the real-world impact of our projects. Through targeted social media outreach, collaborations with sustainability influencers, and partnerships with like-minded organizations, we aim to spotlight every facet of SPE and PCS - from carbon credit methodologies to remote sensing to emission reductions auditing - so that a wider global audience can understand and participate in our initiatives.
2024 has been a defining year for SavePlanetEarth and Planetary Carbon Standard, marked by concrete achievements in technology, methodologies, and community building. We stand ready to carry this momentum into 2025, confident that our integrated approach - combining blockchain innovation, rigorous environmental standards, and grassroots advocacy - can deliver the systemic changes needed to address the climate crisis. We invite you to continue supporting and participating in our journey as we strive to build a future where responsible climate action is not just possible, but readily accessible to all.
