Dimitra, a global leader in agricultural technology and sustainability solutions, proudly announces the launch of its groundbreaking new product, Dimitra Carbon. This innovative carbon credit initiative aims to revolutionize the carbon market by leveraging Dimitra’s extensive network of agricultural projects across multiple countries, offering a transparent, credible, and impactful solution to carbon offsetting and reductions.

Unlocking Global Opportunities

The global carbon credit market is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by increasing environmental regulations and corporate commitments to sustainability. With an estimated market value of over $1 billion in the voluntary carbon market in 2021 and projections reaching $50 billion by 2030, the demand for high-quality carbon projects has never been higher.

Dimitra Carbon is poised to capitalize on a substantial opportunity by providing carbon credits generated from sustainable agriculture projects that mitigate the effects of climate change. These projects not only absorb carbon, but also enhance biodiversity, enrich soil quality, and support local communities.

A Trusted Partner for Sustainable Development

Dimitra has a proven track record of working with farmers across the globe, spanning regions in South America, Africa, and Asia. This is achieved by combining cutting-edge agricultural technologies with environmentally sustainable methods, thereby enabling farmers to boost productivity while minimizing their carbon emissions. Dimitra Carbon extends this approach, providing carbon credits that are rigorously verified, traceable, and compliant with the most stringent environmental standards.

Key Features of Dimitra Carbon:

  1. Global Reach: Dimitra’s extensive network of projects spans multiple continents, ensuring a diverse and resilient portfolio of carbon credits.
  2. Transparency and Traceability: Utilizing cutting-edge blockchain technology, Dimitra Carbon ensures that every credit is fully traceable back to its origin, providing unmatched transparency and credibility.
  3. High-Quality Credits: Each carbon credit is generated through sustainable agricultural practices, verified by stringent monitoring and reporting standards.
  4. Social and Environmental Impact: Dimitra Carbon projects deliver significant co-benefits, including improved livelihoods for farmers, enhanced biodiversity, and better soil health.

Empowering Farmers, Benefiting the Planet

“Our mission with Dimitra Carbon is to create a sustainable future by empowering farmers and offering high-quality carbon credits,” said Jon Trask, CEO of Dimitra. “We believe that by integrating technology, sustainability, and agriculture, we can make a meaningful impact on climate change and drive positive change for communities worldwide. Our dedication to this initiative underscores our commitment to environmental sustainability and supporting local farmers and crypto communities.”

Incentives for Corporate Sustainability

To further incentivize corporate participation in carbon offsetting, Dimitra offers a unique opportunity: companies seeking to minimize or eliminate their carbon footprint can purchase Dimitra Carbon credits at a 10% discount, subject to the condition that the acquisition is made using the DMTR token. The DMTR Carbon Credits are among the few in the market that are 100% traceable to the farmer level, thereby allowing companies to verify with certainty that the credits were generated and not sold multiple times. This transparency, facilitated by blockchain technology and accountability in every transaction, reinforces the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) narrative.

Companies are driven to acquire carbon credits to fulfill ESG targets and comply with regulatory requirements. The purchase of carbon credits enables businesses to offset their emissions, thus meeting their sustainability obligations and improving their environmental reputation. The deployment of the DMTR token expedites this process and provides an additional level of traceability and trust, consistent with the highest standards of corporate governance and sustainability.

One of the major bottlenecks in the carbon credit market is the traceability of credits. Companies need assurance about the origin of their carbon credits to confidently meet their ESG goals. Dimitra Carbon fulfills this requirement by offering complete traceability of carbon credits, from the farm level onwards. This unprecedented level of transparency can reduce certification costs associated with certification organizations, as the clear and verifiable data simplifies the auditing and verification processes. Moreover, this increased transparency makes the market accessible to the approximately 500 million small-scale farmers worldwide who are currently excluded due to the high costs involved.

“This project has been carefully planned for months,” said Diego Costa, COO of Dimitra. “We have hired a carbon program lead and our data science team studied the carbon market extensively to arrive at a competitive and differentiated product. The first projects are already underway, with the initial implementations to be in Africa, but many projects in different countries have manifested their interest in joining the DMTR Carbon project.”
