100 Billion Tonnes Club: An Ultimate Guide against Climate Catastrophe

Dec 5, 2024 | Vision & Mission | 0 comments

Introduction: Who We Are and Why We Do This

The 100 Billion Tonnes Club (100BT) is on a mission to combat climate change by removing 100 billion tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere. We’re not just another organization; we’re building a global movement that fuses cutting-edge science, sustainable agriculture, and economic empowerment.

We leverage scalable and permanent solutions like Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) to tackle the climate crisis. With every contribution, we not only fight climate change but also uplift marginalized farming communities, ensuring every dollar spent generates measurable environmental and social impact.

This blog serves as the definitive resource for understanding the science, impact, and vision behind our approach. Here’s why your subscription matters.

Scalable CO₂ Removal: Proven and Permanent Solutions

The Science of Soil Rescue Minerals
Our approach is rooted in ERW, a process where natural minerals like olivine and basalt capture CO₂. These minerals react with CO₂ in rainwater or humid air, forming stable carbonates that lock carbon away for millennia. Here’s why this matters:

  • Permanence: Unlike trees, which can re-release CO₂ through decay or wildfires, minerals permanently sequester carbon.
  • Efficiency: Each tonne of olivine can remove 1.25 tonnes of CO₂, making it one of the most efficient carbon removal methods.

Why It’s Urgent
The UN has made it clear: to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, we need to remove 400 billion to 1 trillion tonnes of CO₂ by 2050. Soil rescue minerals offer a viable path to achieving this scale.

Rewards: Turning Impact into Tangible Benefits

We believe climate action should benefit everyone, including you. That’s why we’re developing a rewards system that incentivizes impact:

  • Exclusive Discounts: Collaborations with partner brands to offer discounts for subscribers.
  • Personalized Carbon Accounts: Track your impact in real-time, from the tonnes of CO₂ removed to the number of farmers supported.
  • Future Rewards: As our program grows, we plan to introduce exclusive benefits for long-term subscribers, creating a cycle of personal and global improvement.

Empowering Communities: Beyond Carbon Removal

Your subscription doesn’t just remove CO₂; it transforms lives:

  • Improved Soil Health: Farmers see better water retention, nutrient availability, and crop yields.
  • Economic Empowerment: Increased crop yields generate higher incomes, allowing farmers to reinvest in their land.
  • Scaling Impact: Farmers can reinvest their profits into deploying more soil rescue minerals, amplifying the effect of your subscription.

The Butterfly Effect in Action: The Multiplier Model

Your subscription triggers a chain reaction of growth and sustainability. Let’s break it down:

  1. Initial Deployment: For every $9.99 subscription, we deploy 1 tonne of soil rescue minerals to farmers.
  2. Carbon Sequestration: Each tonne removes 1.25 tonnes of CO₂.
  3. Reinvestment: Farmers use their increased income to deploy even more minerals.
  4. Long-Term Growth: Over 10 seasons, this process scales exponentially.

Environmental and Climate Benefits

How We Help the Planet

  • Carbon Sequestration: Each tonne of soil rescue minerals captures 1.25 tonnes of CO₂ permanently.
  • Restoring Ecosystems: Reduces soil erosion, improves water retention, and fosters biodiversity.
  • Mitigating Climate Risks: Helps prevent catastrophic climate events by reducing greenhouse gases at scale.

Agricultural Benefits

Farmers are at the heart of our mission. Here’s how soil rescue minerals help them:

  • Boosted Yields: Crop productivity can increase by up to 20%, providing more food and income.
  • Reduced Fertilizer Use: Farmers cut their reliance on chemical fertilizers by 30-50%, saving costs and protecting the environment.
  • Resilient Practices: Improved soil health helps farmers withstand climate shocks like droughts and floods.

Economic Benefits

For Farmers:

  • Increased Income: Higher yields mean more profit, which can be reinvested into sustainable practices.
  • Job Creation: Our program generates employment in mineral processing, logistics, and farming.

For the Global Economy:
Scaling soil rescue minerals reduces the long-term costs of climate adaptation and disaster recovery.

Our Revenue Model

Transparency and Impact
We allocate 85% of all funds directly to soil rescue projects. The remaining 15% covers operational costs like:

  • Managing partnerships with farmers.
  • Conducting soil and CO₂ verification tests.
  • Maintaining the website and user experience.

Conclusion: Be the Catalyst for Change

The stakes have never been higher. Climate change is an urgent crisis, but it’s one we can solve—together. By subscribing to the 100 Billion Tonnes Club, you’re not just funding CO₂ removal; you’re creating a ripple effect that transforms communities, restores ecosystems, and reshapes our planet’s future.

Join us today. Together, we can reach the 100 billion tonnes goal and create a legacy of sustainability for generations to come.
