Marmota’s mission is to help governments and organizations achieve their sustainability goals via targeted initiatives that result in the generation, certification, and conversion of tradeable environmental assets. Our end-to-end solution creates valuable investment holdings while simultaneously improving ESG performance.
First, we offer expert analysis to ensure direct alignment between capital allocation and organizational objectives.
Marmota delivers the expertise, systems, and programs required to utilize this project data to accurately quantify, aggregate, and monetize resulting environmental assets, including carbon offset credits.
Developing, implementing, maintaining and monetizing offset projects can be daunting for most organizations. Marmota delivers a proven methodology to ensure rapid and efficient implementation while ensuring the highest possible level of environmental integrity. Our six-step process—assess, quantify, develop, implement, monitor and monetize—serves as the industry standard for environmental asset creation and liquidation.
We work with our clients to assess the proposed offset project/program. This initial phase helps identify potential challenges and develop mitigation strategies in advance.
We quantify the potential for emission reductions and credits. This will drive investment decisions and other strategic considerations.
We take a programmatic approach to project development using globally recognized strategies and emission schemes, tailoring our process according to the mitigation activities and jurisdictions being considered.
Once the project has been validated by an independent third-party agency—which must be accredited by a recognized program authority—we support the implementation of the proposed mitigation activities alongside our clients.
Over the crediting period of the offset project, we monitor the environmental performance of the projects and the implemented mitigation activities. The data collected is regularly captured by the blockchain to ensure full transparency and trust. During this phase, our team coordinates third-party data verification and credit issuance / registration.
Once the credits have been registered, we either manage the transaction of the credits generated by the project, or support clients who want to transact the credits themselves, whether as post-ante credits, forward crediting, ex-ante credits, or alternative methods.
Marmota’s EV Charging Carbon Offset Program (MEVCCOP), the first of its kind in North America, will support third-party charging station owners, governments, and organizations to meet their net zero goals while also earning carbon credits and revenue. Marmota seamlessly takes care of program development, maintenance, and carbon credit transactions.
Third-party charging station owners, governments, and organizations can join the MEVCCOP if:
1) They own L1, L2, DCFC (L3) chargers that are public or private.
2) Charging stations serve light-duty vehicles (LDV) including passenger vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) including e-buses or e-trucks.
3) Charging stations are located in Canada excluding British Columbia or in the United States excluding California, Oregon, and Washington
The MEVCCOP has been developed under Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard, has been validated, and will be verified by an independent and accredited validation and verification body (VVB). The program also follows VM0038, Verra’s methodology for Electric Vehicle Charging Systems.
