On a mission to decarbonise:
The history of Decarb.earth
By Q4 2023, our platform was complete, with our Decarb Impact Units becoming verified carbon credits. We are now generating credits for some of the world's largest energy developers, including Abu Dhabi's Masdar, Africa's GoSolr and Dubai's Yellow Door. We have along the way also added to our board senior directors from Julius Baer, Mercer, the UN, and the CEO of the company that built Earth's most visible constructions (The Palm and the World).
To democratise investment and align economic interests with carbon reduction, we tokenized our equity in Q2 2023, enabling investors of all sizes to join our decarbonization journey.
Our Mission
Our Vision
Business Model
We onboard renewable energy projects at no upfront charge, requiring only that they meet our ISO-accredited standard—enabling rapid portfolio growth.
Our proprietary digital Measurement Reporting & Verification system transforms renewable energy operations into validated carbon credits, creating monetizable assets from previously untapped climate benefits. We retain 10-12% of all carbon credit sales, whether transacted directly or through exchanges, providing predictable income streams from each project in our ecosystem.
Our partnership with established auditors (SGS and CarbonCX) ensures maximum market value and credibility for the carbon credits we generate.
The people that make it possible
We have a dynamic team with a wealth of knowledge and expertise across the fields of banking, tech and energy. Their shared passion for the planet is what brings them together and drives the company's success.

What people say about us
We build lasting relationships with project developers, carbon buyers, and strategic investors who recognize our unique market position.
Our firm is experiencing rapid growth. Although we see revenues from carbon credits as important strategically, other tasks always took priority. Decarb.earth brought to the table a great solution which could be implemented quickly and with limited involment from our side. Subsequent trades have been a walk in the park. Kudos to the team!
Patrick Narbel
CTO, GoSolr
We have been switching businesses and households to solar since1986. For enterprises in particular the demand is great due to the ROI prevalent, but having the liquidity to pay for the system has always beena major stumbling block. It's been great working together with Decarb.earth to solve this issue. If you're an enterprise looking togo green and pay less for electricity, Decarb.earth and ourselves would behappy to help you with the transition!
Gerard Malengret
CEO, MLT Power
We love art and we love our planet, and feel strongly about gentling our impact on our beloved Earth. When Marco told us we could switch to solar while saving money without the big upfront costs, we were very excited. It was a no-brainer when looking at the rising costs of electricity and the unreliable state infrastructure. We are immediately saving money on a monthly basis. Marco is endlessly enthusiastic and committed and the switch with MLT went seamlessly - thank you!
