Will Foulkes

Will Foulkes

I lead the business team at Stabiliti - tracing carbon back to its roots. Our goal is to create trust and transparency in carbon offsets in order to incentivise more businesses and individuals to buy them. This is the lead domino that will lead to more farmers and landowners planting carbon capturing natural assets. This will increase supply and allow more businesses to offset completely - reducing the amount of carbon entering our atmosphere and ultimately going beyond and removing more than we are producing.

In order for this to happen at scale we are working with international businesses and projects, in domains such as infrastructure construction and global payments, to assist them with their carbon emission mapping and data collection. Once the source data is confirmed as accurate we then enable them to offset by choosing carbon capture projects that are relevant to their activities and locality.

Our unique proprietary technology, CarbonTrack, is able to fractionalise carbon offsets from the typical tonne measurement and go down to the femtogram. The ability to offset micro amounts of carbon emissions means we can price competitively and share the proceeds with our business partners, further incentivising them beyond compliance with emissions targets, by creating a new revenue stream.

This micro-offsetting is particularly relevant for transaction based business models such as payments, ticketing and any company where the majority of their emissions come from computer use.

My background is as an English lawyer specialising in blockchain technology.
