Context:

Buying carbon offsets is increasingly common for Australian

businesses wanting to go carbon neutral. The problem is it is currently difficult for Australia’s largest businesses to buy high-quality, verified offsets on demand. This problem has led to some of Australia’s most trusted businesses being caught out purchasing ‘junk’ carbon credits

We built Sixth Element as a platform that makes it easy for large businesses to link up with quality suppliers of carbon credits.

1. Customer places order for carbon credits

2. Sixth Element finds land-owners and assists them to plant and grow carbon farms

3. Carbon credits are traded from land-owner to customer through the Sixth Element platform

4. Customer receives continuous monitoring and reporting of their carbon credits

5. Sixth Element assists the customer to gain carbon neutral accreditation.
