Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
BCarbon's mission is to provide high-integrity research and certification services for empirically tested carbon sequestration projects around the world and to sustain a community of practice for sharing knowledge about the low-carbon economy.
Activities or mission (Part I)
To enable sustainable climate conservation with a nature-based carbon registry.
-
BCarbon creates and maintains standards and programs to achieve sustainable climate change goals to protect and conserve the environment for the benefit of the general public using nature-based solutions. BCarbon reviews and certifies applications for both soil and timber carbon credits as well as methane well credits to determine whether they meet BCarbon's criteria for credit issuance. Credits are issued and registered on a blockchain accounting system to keep up with subsequent transactions. During 2024, BCarbon added a carbon credit protocol for plugging orphaned and abandoned oil and gas wells that are leaking methane, for which no state or federal funding is available.
Expenses $907,883 · Revenue $234,101
-
BCarbon is working with Prairie View A&M University to develop a program for small landowners in East Texas to help them create what is called the Small Landowner Carbon Collaborative that we intend to become a model for small landowner participation in the carbon market throughout the United States.
Expenses $100,239 · Grants $2,947
-
BCarbon has created a coastal living shoreline protocol that will protect coastal wetlands from sea level rise and provide carbon credits at the same time.
Expenses $81,223 · Revenue $150,000
-
BCarbon is working with the East Foundation to develop a crediting protocol for biodiversity that will attempt to establish additional value for properties that are participating in the carbon market and also exhibit great biological diversity, with an initial focus on South Texas ranchlands and the endangered ocelot which is a small spotted cat that lives in the deep brush of South Texas.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
