Blue Carbon
Welcome to XTCC Blue Carbon Investment, where high-integrity Blue Carbon Credits transform carbon into valuable assets, promoting sustainable investment in mangrove forests and recognizing the essential link between economic growth and natural capital.
What is Blue Carbon?
Blue carbon refers to carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere and stored in coastal and marine ecosystems like mangroves, which are ten times more effective at sequestering greenhouse gases than other types of forestry. These ecosystems offer numerous benefits, including clean water, food security, poverty alleviation, and protection against extreme weather events, while translating their services into investable assets that grow in value when protected.
Why mangroves?
Mangroves filter and trap pollutants before they reach coastal waters, maintaining water quality. They also store significant amounts of CO2, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As vital habitats for marine life, mangroves contribute to food security and preserve coastal ecosystems. What’s more, they serve as natural defenses against extreme weather events and disasters.
Impacts of mangrove loss
Coastal Flooding
The loss of mangrove forests has led to increased coastal flooding, putting local communities at risk and damaging infrastructure.
Water Contamination
Mangrove deforestation has resulted in the contamination of drinking water sources, posing a threat to public health and food security.
Disruption of Aquatic Life
The degradation of mangrove ecosystems has significantly disrupted the local aquatic life, harming the economic and food security of coastal communities.
Why high-integrity blue carbon credits?
A just green transition requires substantial investment to succeed. High Integrity Blue Carbon Credits are crucial as they provide the necessary funding for mangrove conservation and restoration projects. Listing Blue Carbon on the Global Stock Exchange can create a steady flow of liquidity, ensuring these projects receive the financial support needed to effectively meet the carbon neutrality target by 2030 and achieve the nature-positive goal of full biodiversity recovery by 2050.
