Carbon credits: CO2 compensation for a better world

For decades, countries have agreed on one thing: CO2 emissions must be reduced. From the United Nations Climate Change Convention of 1992 to the Paris Climate Agreement, the subject is high on the agenda. To contribute to a better world and to achieve global goals, Suriname Herbal Extracts focuses on offsetting CO2 emissions. This is done in a natural way, by developing products with hemp in an energy-neutral way. The hemp plant is extremely suitable for many purposes, which today cause CO2 emissions. From fuel to housing and the problems with plastic, hemp is an energy neutral solution for processes that have a negative impact on the earth. But how can companies contribute to a better world? Carbon credits are the solution for this!

The problem of CO emissions

Over the past centuries, the amount of greenhouse gases in our air has increased. These greenhouse gases retain more heat, which comes from the sun. This causes the temperature on earth to rise, whereby the earth has become warmer by 1 degree in the past 150 years. This increase has its effect on the climate, which is changing. This change has consequences for nature, but also for the health of humans and animals. By ensuring that this temperature rise does not continue, the situation remains manageable. That is why various climate targets have been drawn up, which should provide solutions for CO2 emissions in the coming years.

CO2 reduction via Carbon Credits as the solution

The solution to climate problems is to reduce CO2 emissions. This will reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, keeping global warming under control. Compensating for CO2 emissions is also an important initiative to achieve the climate goals. By CO2 compensation you stimulate the implementation of energy-neutral processes. The hemp plant can play a major role in this, because this plant is multifunctional. For centuries this plant has been used for natural solutions, of which the building plans of Suriname Herbal Extracts are part.

CO2 negative prefab homes

By means of Carbon Credits it is possible for companies to offset their CO2 emissions. These Carbon Credits are used for hemp cultivation in Suriname. This hemp is intended for the development of CO2 negative prefab homes. Building houses requires a lot of production processes that emit a large amount of CO2. Using hemp in these processes will reduce emissions and create a circular economy. And not only does the use of hemp above ground have its advantages, hemp cultivation also improves the soil and ensures green soil remediation. In addition, part of the Carbon Credits will be invested in the realization of a factory for hemp plastic. Plastic is a major problem worldwide. Not only for the coral and fish in the sea, but also for CO2 emissions. When incinerating waste, plastic emissions are higher than other types of residual waste. However, the multifunctionality does not stop at homes and plastic, hemp is also a cheap alternative for the clothing and paper industry. These many benefits of hemp ultimately ensure the absorption and reduction of CO2, which is achieved via the Carbon Credits. As a company, you can make a better world in various areas through Carbon Credits!

Caribbean diversifying economies

As part of the diversification economies in the Caribbean, Suriname is an extremely suitable country for CO2 compensation. Due to this diversification, Suriname focuses on different financial income streams, so that the country is less vulnerable economically. This development offers opportunities for both the Surinamese and the Dutch business community, because investments are needed for this diversification. The Carbon Credits are an example of diversification, whereby this solution is the epitome of sustainability. In addition, the location of Suriname is a great advantage for the plans of Suriname Herbal Extracts. For example, the climate is very suitable for hemp cultivation, which means that several times a year can be harvested and the growth process takes place completely naturally. When growing hemp, no pesticides or fertilizers are needed, so a pure product is grown. Because the Amazon rainforest is located in Suriname, among other places, there is an important nature reserve in the backyard of the country.

Amazon Lungs of the World

The Amazon rainforest is called the lungs of the world. More than 80% of Suriname is located in the Amazon rainforest, making this tropical forest an important part of Suriname. But the Amazon rainforest is not only important for Suriname, but also for the rest of the world. It is known that trees convert CO2 into oxygen, which means that trees are vital for humans. That is why it is necessary to take good care of trees. However, at the moment more than 100 trees per second are disappearing. In Brazil, too, deforestation in the Amazon rainforest is enormous, which is very problematic for the entire world. The Amazon forest is one of the largest forests on earth, which means that this deforestation has a major impact on both nature and humanity. The deforestation in Brazil offers opportunities for other countries in this area. Suriname can potentially become the lungs of the world due to the enormous deforestation in Brazil. Suriname Herbal Extracts makes it possible for entrepreneurs to contribute to CO2 compensation through hemp, conservation of nature and a better world! See Brazil and the current rate of deforestation that Suriname can potentially become the lungs of the world.
