CO2CR, LLC
Creates, Reclaims, and Preserves tropical forests that sequester CO2 in Costa Rica (CR).
Who we are & what we do …
We are Alvaro Umaña — Costa Rica’s first Minister of the Environment— and Mike Kennedy — professional sustainability consultant with 34 years of experience.
We:
Partner with landowners in Costa Rica to preserve, reclaim and create valuable rainforest land.
Create valuable, verifiable carbon offsets.
Offer ESG opportunities to companies looking to make a difference in the fight against the climate crisis.
Use modern technology to monitor carbon sequestration and forest health.
Why we do this…
Carbon emissions are one of the main contributors to the climate crisis. We need robust carbon sequestration efforts to save our beautiful environment.
One acre of rainforest can remove up to 40 metric tons of carbon from the atmosphere per year.
By preserving, reclaiming, and creating valuable rainforest land in Costa Rica, we can make a difference in the climate crisis AND develop a thriving ecosystem in one of the most biodiverse places on earth.
1 carbon offset credit = 1 metric TON of carbon removed from the atmosphere.
With every acre of rainforest we develop, we create 40 carbon offset credits.
Our impact…
Why Costa Rica…
Costa Rica accounts for only 0.03% of the earth's surface, but is home to 6% of the world's biodiversity.
By focusing on Costa Rica, we not only create carbon offset credits for the EU and worldwide, we nourish the ecosystem home to 500,000 species of animals, 10,000 species of plants, and 300,000 species of insects.
