Investing in our future through Nature, People and Technology.

Our vision

We believe that Nature is humanity's number one asset and our best ally in the fight against climate change, because it's scalable, reliable and cost-efficient. Our economy relies on ressources, ecosystems and biodiversity. The funds we need are already available, now we need to accelerate flowing them towards regenerative projects. 
‍
We believe that People hold the key to unlock a sustainable future. Effective and trustfull collaboration, from local communities to corporate executives, is not an unrealistic vision. It is necessary.
‍
We believe that Technology will improve the current voluntary carbon market - our most efficient yet perfectible mechanism for protecting carbon sinks and biodiversity - and lead to unprecedented trust in nature-based solutions.
‍
We believe that it's not too late. 

But we must act now.

Manifesto

Fighting climate change is no longer optional. We must urgently take action towards achieving the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C reduction and a net zero carbon world. The IPCC emphasizes that reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a large scale, while a priority, will not be sufficient on its own. It must be complemented by carbon sequestration, relying especially on natural carbon sinks that already sequester 41% of yearly emissions.

To achieve a significant reduction in their emissions, companies must offset their remaining CO2 impact by supporting the enhancement of carbon sinks.

Massive and rapid investment is necessary to boost carbon sequestration capabilities and remove 0.5 to 1.2 billion metric tons of CO2 annually by 2025, and up to 6 to 10 billion metric tons by 2050, equivalent to 25% of current worldwide emissions!

Voluntary carbon credits are a primary means of regulating emission increases, enabling sequestration projects to achieve economic equilibrium. With 15 years of experience, carbon finance has achieved a certain maturity, with internationally recognized methodologies and certification standards. In 2020, approximately 190Mt eqCO2 of voluntary carbon credits were traded globally, nearly double the volume from 2019. Forecasts indicate that global demand could increase by 15 times before 2030 and 100 times by 2050.

However, this market suffers from handicaps that are hampering its growth and global efforts to combat climate change. For project owners, the process is both complex and costly; access is reserved for only very large projects, while expansion is crucial to reducing the supply / demand imbalance. For investors, this market would benefit from being more secure, competitive, and transparent. There is currently no reliable solution available to accurately track project progress in this market.

At Qaptur, we are convinced that we can capitalize on technology, people and a more transparent approach to streamline the sequestration project financing market, while ensuring a greater number of players - investors and project leaders - to access it.

‍To do this, we are creating a platform that will make trustable nature-based carbon contribution just a ‘click away’ in a secure, simple, direct, transparent and reliable method.
