Xarbon Launches Asia's First Digital Carbon Credit and Partners with UNOPS to Support the Low-Carbon Economy

Xarbon launched the first Digital Carbon Credit "OCO", on top of the New Economy Movement ("NEM") Blockchain, which aims to future proof the carbon economy. The team believes that by applying blockchain technology to the carbon credit market, that OCO can improve transparency of carbon credit transfer, simplify user verification process, and incentivize individuals to uphold behavioral change.

The Company has a partnership and received endorsement from the UNOPS, the operational arm of the United Nations dedicated to implementing projects for the United Nations System, to support low-carbon economy development by establishing digitalized carbon, aiming to improve education, awareness-raising and social impact on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning among different governments and organizations.

Mr. Johnny Chong, Chairman & Founder of Xarbon, commented, "It is our honor to join hands with UNOPS to take part in carbon credit trading market. Carbon emission resulting in climate changes is not only an environmental issue, but also a social issue that needs every country to push forward. The endorsement from the UNOPS shows its unreserved support for applying blockchain technology to provide transparency to the carbon credit trading market for all market participants. Backed by our digitalized carbon credit token OCO, we shall work closely with the UNOPS to promote cross border carbon credit trading among Asian countries."

Meanwhile, Xarbon has taken part in a USD18 million worth co-investment on OLED lighting project to support the future sustainability for city and home lighting technology. This is the first lighting and technology company to use Xarbon digitalized carbon unit OCO to offset for carbon credit in a reduction of carbon emission.

"OCO is the Asian first digital carbon unit with high investment value. We are very glad to co-invest with other Asian investors to promote and support the digital technology on creating a low-carbon economy," said Mr. Chong. "It is an important step to our enterprises and countries over the world to support the Paris Agreement with OCO and re-invest on sustainability projects."

About Carbon Trading Carbon Trading is a market mechanism that The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (the "UNFCCC") adopted on 9 May 1992. This mechanism incentivizes the reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions by giving a handful of state backed entities the ability to commoditize and place a monetary value on each metric ton of Carbon Dioxide emitted in their respective jurisdictions. These assets that represent one ton of Carbon Dioxide emissions are generally called "Carbon Credits" or "Carbon Units".
