The world has set itself the goal of reducing all greenhouse gas emissions. For this to happen, each country's economy must transform its business model, using mainly traditional fossil energy resources, into a zero-emission economy model. This process is not easy because it is based, among other things, on changing the currently used fossil energy resources to renewable, low-carbon energy sources in liquid and solid form. These renewable resources must gradually replace crude oil or coal in fuel and electricity production processes.
Creating new green areas and forest zones plays a crucial role in the fight against global warming by absorbing CO2 and producing oxygen. This process allows trees to naturally mitigate climate change while new plantations help rebuild biodiversity in degraded or desert areas as well.
Carbon Credits obtained as a result of CO2 capture are a financial mechanism that is supposed to effectively support the fight against global warming by, among other things, planting trees and restoring degraded environments.
The quality of a project is a crucial factor influencing the price of its carbon credits. A higher cost is required to ensure the project's benefits are real, long-lasting, and maximized while adhering to essential environmental and social safeguards and SDGs. Projects that offer a high level of quality assurance tend to command higher prices.
The KESSLER PONGAMIA SCP MODEL extends far beyond merely reducing CO2 emissions and providing carbon offsets; it comprehensively addresses the full spectrum of environmental, social, and economic impacts. Our plantations include:
The reduction of CO2 emissions
Absorbing vast quantities of CO2
Significant benefits for communities, with extensive social impact and contributions to SDGs
The foundation of our plantation model, based on elite varieties of the Pongamia tree, is the dual focus on CLIMATE AND DEVELOPMENT, tailored specifically for the regions where this model will be applied.
While the credits are a valuable financial instrument, KESSLER has also prioritized developing local economies centered around the products of the Pongamia tree.
This post presents what can be achieved by commercializing KESSLER's Pongamia SCP model. First, it involves using and repairing degraded and desert areas through reforestation, land reclamation, and the implementation and development of regenerative agriculture. The second most crucial issue is assessing the possibilities associated with products from the Pongamia fruits. The photo shows three fundamental products obtained from Pongamia inedible fruit, a tree developed and cultivated in the Negev Desert on KESSLER and ARO pilot plantation, research station, labs, and nurseries.
Pongamia oil - inedible, fully renewable, low carbon raw material for producing biofuels, marine fuels, SAF. This oil is also an excellent raw material for the production of zero-emissions, 100% green electricity and heat in the process of high-efficiency cogeneration (micro CHP)
Pongamia cake - a source of the highest quality non-GMO plant proteins, a renewable raw material for the production of Bioethanol, Renewable LNG, and ready high-protein feed, and a natural high-mineral organic fertilizer NPK
Pongamia shells - an excellent raw material for the production of pellets used as an energy raw material, replacing coal in the production process
With such possibilities and flexibility associated with the use of products of our genetic variety, a strategy for further development, including agricultural development, energy security for poor and neglected regions, energy security for potential investments, and the development of the production and trade of renewable energy sources, is possible.
After validating the strength of our genetics, the innovative SCP model, and the final product quality (endorsed by two leading brands), KESSLER and the Ministry of Agriculture clearly affirm that our elite Pongamia tree varieties, along with the Smart Carbon Plantation agrotechnical protocols and innovations, deliver on these promises.
