Founded in 2017, Nori is on a mission to scale carbon removal, with the ultimate goal of reversing climate change. Our fully integrated carbon removal issuing program, registry, and marketplace simplifies a complicated market, increasing transparency, trust, efficiency, and impact for buyers and sellers alike. We make it easy for businesses to drive positive climate impact by giving them access to verified carbon removal credits that support regenerative farmers in the US, help scale the technology underpinning promising durable solutions, and can be integrated directly into products. For suppliers, we streamline the process of developing, verifying, and selling carbon removal credits, so that they can focus on what they do best — removing carbon from the atmosphere. We also engage with federal agencies and policymakers to advocate for supplier-enabling policies and consistent definitions and standards that help inspire confidence in the market. Collectively, we have to remove between 5 and 10 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year to reach global climate mitigation targets – and even more to drive climate change in reverse. Nori enables everyone to participate with confidence because every tonne counts.
