THE GREENHOUSE GAS OFFSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

(PαC-GHG-OPA)

The PαC-GHG-OPA, based only on direct measurement, offers a portfolio of financial terms and structures to landowners, investors, and offset buyers typical for the renewables financial markets.

Planet Alpha provides established financial tools for landowners across the planet to manage, restore and conserve diverse landscapes with social, economic, and planetary benefits.

The result is the only “Living GHG Offset” available.

Memorandum of Understanding

The MoU outlines the project and participants including agents for landowners.

The MoU is non-binding and intended to be a road map and overview of the land involved.

The Project Listing Application

The PLA requests details of the proposed project including location, ecosystem type and land ownership.

PαC will prepare estimates of potential project revenue, a project schedule and project sensor plan.

The Project Management
Agreement

The PMA includes the completed PLA, legal and financial terms and an online signature page for project participants.

How does PaC work?

PαC is an easy Four Step Process!

PaC Accommodates Diverse Terrestrial Natural, Industrial Land Use and Deforested/Degraded Land

All GHG-OPA Projects Are Based on Direct Measurement:

1) Land Area Determined by High-Resolution Imagery (< 1 square meter, No-New, and Net-Gain Metrics)

2) Direct on-site measurement via ground sensors and or NASA satellite CO2 determination of the net flux of CO2 sequestration and storage of Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE), and other GHG’s as implemented (CH4, N2O, Isotopic Forms), is made by Direct Measurement Forest Carbon Protocol (DMFCP)
