Immediate and Permanent Carbon Removal for Individuals

Remove Carbon Today enables individuals worldwide to remove their carbon dioxide emissions through certified carbon removal with public registry proof of completion.

Carbon removal physically removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it durably for the long term.

Carbon removal at Remove Carbon Today is exclusively:

  • Ex-post and already delivered
  • Certified and independently verified
  • Durable with storage lasting 100+ years
  • Issued and retired in a public registry
  • Completed with proof within one month of purchase

Certified by Puro.earth

All carbon removal offered through Remove Carbon Today is certified by Puro.earth, an independent carbon removal crediting platform.

Puro.earth defines science-based methodologies for carbon removal and requires independent third-party verification before any removal is certified.

Only carbon dioxide that has been physically removed from the atmosphere and durably stored for at least 100 years is eligible for certification.

What a CO₂ Removal Certificate (CORC) represents

For every metric ton of CO₂ that is physically removed from the atmosphere and durably stored, Puro.earth issues one CO₂ Removal Certificate (CORC).

Each CORC confirms that the carbon removal is:

  • Ex-post - the removal has already taken place
  • Measured and verified - audited under science-based standards
  • Durable - stored for at least 100 years
  • Unique - tied to a single, completed removal

A CORC represents one metric ton of CO₂ physically removed and durably stored.

Public registry and retirement

Puro.earth operates a public registry where all CO₂ Removal Certificates are:

  • issued
  • tracked
  • and retired

Retirement means the certificate has been permanently closed in the public registry, so the same carbon removal cannot be sold, transferred, or counted twice.

Anyone can view retired certificates in the Puro.earth public registry.

This registry is the core mechanism that makes carbon removal transparent, traceable, and verifiable.

What this means for individuals

Remove Carbon Today exists to make certified carbon removal accessible to individuals.

We purchase CO₂ Removal Certificates from certified removal suppliers and retire them on behalf of individual customers.

Every time purchases through our store add up to one full metric ton of CO₂ removed, one CORC is retired in the public registry.

When your purchase contributes to that retired ton, you receive:

  • an email confirmation, with
  • a link to the public registry retirement statement confirming the CORC is retired and closed on your behalf

This retirement and confirmation is done within one month of purchase.

You do not need to rely on claims - you can independently verify the record yourself.

Why this level of proof matters

Atmospheric CO₂ concentrations are at their highest levels in human history and are the primary driver of global warming.

Reducing future emissions is essential, but it does not remove the excess CO₂ already in the atmosphere.

Durable carbon removal addresses this need by physically removing CO₂ and storing it for the long term, supporting efforts to limit warming and reduce cumulative climate risk.
