About Us
SavePlanetEarth (SPE) is an ambitious global initiative dedicated to combating the existential threat of global warming and climate change. We aim to develop and implement an array of programs targeting the most significant contributors to climate change, from carbon emissions to land use. In doing so, we seek to slow, and ultimately reverse, the catastrophic effects of global warming, preserving our planet for future generations. SPE was founded in response to the devastating effects of global warming and climate change with the mission to address the urgent need for action to combat these challenges. By leveraging the emerging cryptocurrency market, we aim to support carbon sequestration projects worldwide and protect our planet.
Our planet is facing a critical juncture as the impacts of global warming and climate change threaten ecosystems, economies, and the lives of millions. To address this challenge, SPE has developed a comprehensive strategy that harnesses the power of public interest, corporate engagement, innovative financing, strategic partnerships, academic backing, technical expertise and cutting-edge technology to drive meaningful and real climate action.
SPE envisions a world where simple, affordable, and effective mechanisms enhance carbon sequestration and establish robust emission control systems. By uniting stakeholders worldwide, we aim to combat global warming and maintain climate change at manageable levels. Utilising blockchain technology, SPE will create a transparent and verifiable system for carbon credits, promoting a unified and efficient global economy. As we innovate, we remain committed to neutralising the carbon emissions associated with blockchain technology.
Our mission is to develop and implement a diverse portfolio of programs to address the root causes of climate change, including afforestation, reforestation, renewable energy, soil regeneration, recycling, and enhanced marine climate management. To realise these goals, we are leveraging public interest, corporate support, and innovative financing mechanisms while also reducing emissions through greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting systems and strategies.
Our key objectives include:
- Championing an ambitious global tree-planting initiative to accelerate regenerative natural forests.
- Conducting a comprehensive review of the carbon credit market to identify and address issues such as inflated credits, double counting, and misaligned policies.
- Driving systemic change towards a low-carbon economy by supporting the transition to renewable energy, promoting responsible land management, and advocating for sustainable consumption.
SPE is poised to usher in a new era of global climate action, guided by our unwavering commitment to addressing the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. By leveraging innovative technologies, engaging diverse stakeholders, and pursuing ambitious objectives, SPE offers a comprehensive and actionable path forward in the fight against global warming and climate change.
Our Vision
“Driving the world towards a systemic change of Low-Carbon economy.”
SPE is set to provide accessible and effective strategies to increase carbon sequestration and establish efficient emission control systems. The intent behind these projects is to combat global warming and manage climate change to a tolerable extent. With a global reach, we will launch initiatives that will not only focus on mitigating global warming but also promote carbon sequestration and foster worldwide acceptance of our cryptocurrency, $SPE.
Asserting its independence, we plan to be wholly self-reliant by funding our environmental programs and rewarding our investors through profits generated from various activities. These include the sale of certified carbon credits, revenues from environmental initiatives, sales of produce and merchandise, and corporate usage of a tree tracking application.
SPE views blockchain technology as a promising future for the world, bringing together different regions to build a unified, efficient global economy. However, we acknowledge the current carbon footprint of blockchain technology, which largely depends on carbon-emitting energy sources. One of our significant goals is to neutralise the carbon emissions from blockchain technology altogether, thus ensuring the technology's sustainability and environmental friendliness.
Our initiatives present an exciting confluence of environmental consciousness, advanced technology, and economic incentive. By harnessing blockchain's potential and mitigating its environmental impact, we aim to contribute significantly towards global environmental preservation and sustainable development.
Objectives at SPE
We are driven by our commitment to bring about substantial climate action and tangible solutions to our planet's environmental crises. A key focus of our global ambition is to push for large-scale tree planting initiatives to expedite the regeneration of natural forests. We firmly believe in the power of trees as one of the most effective natural carbon sequestration tools and a crucial part of our strategy to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
While undertaking a comprehensive review of the carbon credit market, we have encountered several systemic issues. Inflated, non-genuine claims and double counting are significant problems that stem from projects struggling to align with the existing regulatory frameworks. Current guidelines, while established with good intentions and science, often present complex and cumbersome processes. This complexity can discourage potential participants and lead to a tendency towards rule-bending or the creation of poor-quality carbon credits. Such practices undermine the effectiveness and credibility of emission initiatives.
Recognising these issues, SPE has taken a step forward to create the Planetary Carbon Standard. This standard aims to streamline the process of onboarding for small to medium project developers seeking to generate carbon credits. Our user-friendly approach simplifies compliance with the necessary regulations, reducing the barriers for potential participants and encouraging more inclusive participation in carbon credit creation.
The Planetary Carbon Standard not only facilitates an easier path to carbon credit generation but also ensures a high-quality, reliable outcome. This standard will reinforce the integrity of the carbon credit market, promoting transparency, trust, and value for all stakeholders. In doing so, we hope to enhance the overall effectiveness of carbon sequestration initiatives and promote a stronger, more resilient global response to climate change. We want to be a part of a systemic change toward a low-carbon economy.
According to the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties held on 31st October through 13th November 2021 in Glasgow – UK, the global temperature must be brought down by 1.5°C. SPE is promoting organisations to become “Carbon Negative” instead of being carbon neutral to achieve this target.
Our Comprehensive Services
SPE provides a comprehensive range of services aimed at promoting sustainability and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Our services are designed to empower individuals, households, corporations, and events to understand and reduce their carbon footprint, while supporting the development and implementation of eco-friendly projects and initiatives.
To summarise, we:
- Develop and execute nature-based and ecological projects (such as planting trees, initiatives involving renewable resources, etc.) for third parties, adhering to carbon standards with Project Documentation and Monitoring until maturity and beyond.
- Work out the carbon footprint and GHG protocol emissions – as per the ISO 14001 – of individuals and organisations alike, utilising several sets of everyday habits/patterns as a baseline to provide an estimate of carbon emissions provided by that party. These estimates would then be used as references to determine which habits/patterns can be curbed or altered to lower emissions.
- Help organisations reduce their carbon footprint through edification and guidance, as well as advise them on reducing emissions through lean processing and manufacturing.
- Generate and sell certified Voluntary Emission Reduction (VER) carbon credits in the open carbon market. These credits would be generated from the various carbons sequestration projects we engage in, and the proceeds that come from selling these credits – to those eager to offset their emissions – would be used to fund even more such projects.
- Provide an easier means of determining carbon sequestration practices via our very own Planetary Carbon Standard – a version of a carbon standard that can be accessed and used by anyone
- Fortify an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework that helps stakeholders understand how an organisation manages risks and opportunities related to the aforementioned criteria.
- Complete training on ISO 14064-1:2018 international standard.
- Complete assessment of the supply chain to identify “Direct “and “Indirect” emission sources.
- Guidance for quantification of identified relevant emissions.
- Design and development of the GHG manuals, procedures, and carbon inventory report.
- Identify ways to reduce emissions and guidance to set emissions and reduction.
- SPE also employs its One Smart Management System, which includes all three international systems and certificates (ISO 9001:2015 QMS, ISO 14001:2015 EMS, ISO 45001:2018 OH&S). 1.3.1. ISO 14064-1:2018
A Way Forward to Combat Climate Change
Global warming and its impact on the climate have become a real threat to the nations. Weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising, and climate events are becoming more extreme. To pass on this message to Global Community, United Nations has introduced Seventeen (17) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and requested to develop strategies and actions in meeting the Goals for decarbonisation of all aspects of the economy.
In this context throughout the world, countries are devising different comprehensive strategies to reduce the impact by arresting Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) released into the environment. In this context, more and more organisations are committing to carbon neutrality to reduce the total emissions released to the environment contributing to having a zero impact on Global Warming because of their operational activities.
Considering the gravity of this issue, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed International Standards to facilitate public and private sector organisations to reduce the releasing of GHG gases to the environment. As a result of this process, the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard “Specification with guidance at the organisation level for quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals” has been developed and published.
ISO 14064-1: 2018 exists as a guide for the private and public sectors in developing GHG inventories for their organisation as well as a foundation for policymakers and program developers for initiatives to address the global environmental challenge of climate change. ISO 14064-1 has applications for both the private and the public sectors. For businesses, the standard provides the steps to develop an inventory that not only can be easily verified but can be compared to the inventories of other organisations. In other words, ISO 14064-1:2018 details the principles and requirements for designing, developing, managing, and reporting GHG emissions for an organisation or company leading to a reduction of GHG emissions.
Certification to ISO 14064-1:2018 and its benefits
An Internationally recognised certificate can be obtained against ISO 14064-1:2018 standard for any public or private sector organisation from a third party assuring that a sound mechanism is available within the certified organisation to reduce the GHG emissions of its operational activities. Once the certification is achieved the organisations can use the Carbon Certified logo (Carbon Footprint) in their advertising materials as part of the marketing campaign. Moreover, the carbon footprint quantification and reporting mark is another step towards the net zero carbon goal. This will allow the company to identify emission hotspots, set emission reduction targets, and implement offsetting strategies as part of its Climate Action program.
SPE Carbon Footprint Calculator
Another carbon abatement and instant carbon offset initiative will be located on the SPE website, a personal and corporate Carbon Footprint Calculator. The output displays the number of carbon credits to offset this t/CO₂e value.
To offset immediately, redirection and purchase of carbon credits to the SPE marketplace will take place considering transaction emissions and minting a Non-Fungible Token - a digital signature - as proof of purchase and auditing. This method simplifies the purchase of carbon credits for consumers, and we anticipate that retail investors and individuals will be the primary users of this feature. However, companies can use this feature too. The world is digitising; pollution and greenhouse gases are no exception. SPE will provide a comprehensive and scalable platform for organisations to calculate, track and report their carbon reduction initiatives.
Our Operations
We are committed to transforming atmospheric carbon into soil carbon by promoting the plantation of natural forests. This essential process aids in the reconstitution of the "Soil Carbon Sponge," a natural phenomenon that combats desertification and poverty. Simultaneously, it plays a pivotal role in reversing climate change, as a decrease in atmospheric carbon directly contributes to a reduction in carbon dioxide levels.
In pursuit of this goal, we have established nurseries in various regions across the globe. Each nursery is meticulously designed to contribute to our mission while also adapting to local conditions. A key feature of our approach is the incorporation of innovative water conservation methods, such as the Rainwater Harvesting System. By utilising this system, we not only reduce our production costs but also significantly decrease our carbon footprint.
Our nurseries in Pakistan and Sri Lanka are pioneering examples of this practice, being the first of their kind to utilise rain-harvested water. This approach allows us to be both environmentally and economically efficient, while also setting a precedent for other nurseries in these regions.
Our nurseries serve as the breeding ground for a variety of saplings, plants, and seed balls, all of which are vital for our planting sites. We tailor our techniques to suit the unique circumstances of each location, taking into account factors such as climate, plant variety, rainfall, and soil type.
Furthermore, SPE's team of technical experts provide guidance to the nursery staff, advising on most suitable methods for different plant species and planting sites. Through this specialised knowledge and practical guidance, we ensure our planting efforts are effective, sustainable, and tailored to the local environment. This holistic approach ensures that we maximise our impact in the fight against climate change, poverty, and desertification.
Our company structure
Our company structure is strategically registered in jurisdictions that are favourable to blockchain technology. Presently, SPE is registered as an International Business Company in the United Arab Emirates, joining the ranks of notable companies such as Binance and others that also operate within this forward-thinking environment.
The UK subsidiary of SPE is currently undergoing dissolution due to the absence of active planting operations in the region. Following advice from accountants and advisors, this decision was made to eliminate unnecessary administrative tasks and costs. The fiscal regulations in the UK, which are not particularly accommodating to crypto-related ventures, would potentially inhibit community benefits, staking, buy-backs, burns, and introduce banking complications typical for blockchain enterprises. As a profit-driven business, we find it essential to avoid such obstacles.
However, it's important to note that if operations were to be initiated in the UK and the EU, the entity would be reinstated as per our financial advisors' recommendations. We are keen on maintaining our focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for food security and poverty alleviation in developing countries, which exert a profound positive impact at grassroots levels.
Being registered in these crypto-friendly jurisdictions allow us to seamlessly kickstart development and on-ground projects without any restrictions. Moreover, it ensures we secure revenue in a way that benefits our cause, our community, and our future initiatives the most.
For further geographical coverage, we have set up SPE Maldives Pvt Ltd and SPE Pakistan Pvt Ltd, which are intended for planting agreements with both private and public sectors to generate revenue and enter into agreements. Additionally, SPE Dubai and SPE Sri Lanka have been established for revenue generation, ESG Strategies, consultancy, and studies related to planting. SPE Sri Lanka is currently in the process of incorporation; meanwhile, a local intermediary assist with operations such as planting and managing nurseries.
