Carbon Offset Initiative
- WHY ARE WE A GAME CHANGER?
Carbon footprint and pollution are increasing in front of our eyes and in order to get back on right track we have to change our habits and act together, only together we can change present environmental issues, save our habitat and preserve Earth’s natural resources for further generations.
Let’s make a difference together, while it’s not too late.
Carbon Offset Initiative is a green solution for waste and data traceability in different industrial spheres, using innovative blockchain technology to enhance productivity in collecting, tracking and recycling waste from different sources.
Our mission is to help organisations and enterprises save energy, reduce costs and build broader commercial value while addressing environmental and social issues.
- What is Carbon Offset Initiative
The world pollution generated by carbon-led production and globalisation is reaching repetitive peaks and is a major threat to our future. Efforts are being made by various governments, industrialists or institutions but at a too low rate, due to various factors such as short-termism or misconceptions.
The current generation of Heads of States or CEOs was shaped in a fossil fuel economy and has a hard time understanding that the needed green actions are not expenses but investments.
Our team sincerely believes that the ‘’green revolution’’ will be as impactful as the ‘’internet revolution’’ or the “industrial revolution” in terms of innovation and employment as well as investment opportunities.
Our objective is to solve problems in a new manner by combining our team’s experience and network with digitalisation and blockchain, both being powerful resources for implementation and success.
Our research shows that the shipping sector is ideal for carbon minimization potential and that a proper disposal of its waste oil is even carbon negative.
COI, the acronym for Carbon Offset Initiative, closely reflects both our intention as well as the concrete results we aim at: Carbon Offsetting by optimizing the ’’bunker fuel-oil to slops to energy’’ cycle and the management of waste and emissions. This optimization process renders the recovered fuel-oil carbon negative, as in contrast to crude oil, it does not have to be explored, produced, refined and transported, thus decreasing significantly the carbon footprint.
Industrial, information, consumption and global economic growth put a tremendous strain on our planet’s environment and future sustainable development.
However, the one thing that everyone seems to underestimate is that we live on a planet with limited physical resources, and we are using them up beyond any reason and produce ever increasing amounts of waste and emissions.
At the same time, the legal requirements to trace and prove total disposal or destruction of non-recyclable waste as well as to reduce emissions are getting tighter and more enforced across the globe. Ever growing production of waste poses a major challenge to traceability and proper disposal.
Scientists, industrialists and states are trying to deal with the waste and emission related issues. Despite the time pressure, such global problems are dealt with locally, i.e. much too slow.
CARBON OFFSET INITIATIVE SOLUTION
With our extensive experience in waste recycling, we have been deeply involved in the reality of the recycling processes of oily waters and slops. There are three key concerns for shipping companies and owners:
- Is the recycling job done legally, timely, and in a quality manner for the given quantity?
- Are the involved parties paid according to agreements and minimum payments in cash?
- Have we overpaid (hidden theft)?

CARBON OFFSET INITIATIVE ROADMAP
- 2010. – Clean Sea Services SA (CSS)
established in Nyon, Switzerland with a mission to clean unwanted waste and save the environment with plug-in modules and know-how experience collected from all around the world.
- 2014. – Urban Management DOO (UM)
established in Belgrade, Serbia with a vision to disrupt industries with technology such as blockchain and software solutions with wide implementations, from marketing, through real estate and hospitality to ecology, and beyond.
- 2017. – Sustainable approach
CSS & UM started discussion about sustainability, climate changes and potential partnership.
- Q1 2018 – CSS’s waste treatment
CSS started new research and development for increasing productivity of existing oil waste treatment modules, while UM was preparing land for new afforestation project and doing lab and geo research of land quality and characteristics.
- Q2 2018 – UM’S afforestation actions
UM has planted 10.000 trees in order to cut CO2 from the atmosphere and decrease already enough polluted air in Balkan region. CSS started pollution and regulation research on African continent.
Carbon Offset Initiative (COI) as idea was born. Primary mission to increase global awareness about climate change, pollution negative effects and global warming issues.
- Q4 2018– CSS & UM partnership
Official partnership between Clean Sea Services and Urban Management signed in Ljubljana, Slovenia. UM’s tech team started developing new blockchain platform. CSS developed new generation of oil waste treatment modules.
Initial COI team assembled and started improving sustainable mission, creating framework for whitepaper and technical paper and developing short-term and long-term business plans for Europe, EMEA, Africa and Asia.
- Q2 2019 – Research & Development
Version 1 of technical paper and whitepaper issued, research and development of hardware and software for COI waste traceability platform began. Co-initiative.io updated and COI token created.
