CarBio-Solo

CarBio-Solo operates within the voluntary carbon market, providing a system for managing soil carbon sequestration projects. The company's primary focus is on increasing the carbon content in soil, particularly in regions vulnerable to climate change, by collaborating with farmers and landowners. This process allows individuals and companies to offset their CO2 emissions in a verified and transparent manner. CarBio-Solo serves two main client types: landowners with agricultural activities who want to implement carbon capture practices, and individuals or companies seeking to mitigate their carbon footprint.

The business model involves connecting these two groups. Landowners join the program to adopt practices that sequester carbon in the soil, and in return, entities looking to offset their emissions can purchase carbon credits generated from these agricultural projects. In addition to project management, the company offers environmental assessment and monitoring services. These services include creating baseline scenarios for carbon capture and sequestration projects and developing Municipal Carbon Inventories, contributing to adaptive environmental management. CarBio-Solo originated from the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities at NOVA University of Lisbon and is part of the NOVA Spin-Off® brand, The USE Concept.
