Moss.Earth is a Brazil-based climate tech company that digitizes environmental assets, primarily through tokenizing carbon credits to support Amazon rainforest conservation and greenhouse gas offsetting.[1][3][4] It created MCO2, the first carbon credit-backed token, enabling individuals and companies to offset emissions via blockchain, with a pivot in 2022 toward developing its own carbon credit origination projects.[1][4] The platform serves businesses and users seeking sustainable environmental solutions, addressing climate change by facilitating over 150 million reais in transactions that conserved roughly 152 million trees, while raising $13M in Series A funding in January 2022.[1][2]
Founded in March 2020 by Luis Adame, a former portfolio manager at Newfoundland Capital Management, Managing Director at York Capital Management, and Partner at Brazilian hedge fund BRZ, Moss.Earth emerged to pioneer carbon credit tokenization amid rising demand for accessible climate solutions.[1][4] The idea crystallized with the launch of MCO2 in 2020, the world's first such token compliant with standards for retiring emissions, quickly channeling over $15M to Amazon preservation efforts and saving 500 million trees in its first year.[4] Early traction included becoming Brazil's largest voluntary carbon credit trader, with a 2022 strategic shift to in-house project development, solidifying its role in sustainability tech.[1][4]
Moss.Earth rides the climate tech boom, particularly the surge in carbon markets and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), fueled by regulatory pushes for net-zero and blockchain's transparency in ESG tracking.[2][3][4] Timing aligns with post-2020 explosion in voluntary carbon credits, where digitization addresses opacity and scalability issues in traditional forestry projects, especially Amazon preservation amid deforestation threats.[1][4] Market forces like corporate sustainability mandates and crypto's integration with green finance favor its model, influencing the ecosystem by onboarding mainstream users to decentralized offsetting and inspiring similar nature-based climate platforms.[2][3]
Moss.Earth is poised to expand carbon origination projects and MCO2 adoption as global carbon markets projected to hit trillions, leveraging blockchain for compliant, scalable offsets.[1][4] Trends like AI-enhanced verification, stricter ESG regulations, and RWA tokenization will amplify its growth, potentially evolving it into a full-stack environmental asset platform influencing LatAm and beyond.[2][3] With its early-mover edge in tokenizing nature's value, Moss.Earth exemplifies how climate tech bridges finance and conservation for lasting impact.
Moss.Earth has raised $10.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $10.0M Series A in January 2022.
