Where Palantir.net supported independently verified CO2 reductions to mitigate their 2023 business emissions
South Dakota
Crow Lake is lowering the carbon intensity of electricity production in one of the US’s top energy consuming states per capita–South Dakota.
Why it’s important: demonstrates a successful and inclusive transition to renewable energy–including local community members and a not-for-profit electric generation and transmission cooperative.
Carbon Standard: Verra UN SDGs: 7, 8, 11, 13
COLORADO
SPLT is an accredited land trust leveraging carbon finance to acquire and preserve shortgrass prairie ecosystems in Colorado.
Why it’s important: avoids land conversion to agriculture / commercial development and provides refuge for native wildlife including the swift fox, ferruginous hawk, burrowing owl, and mountain plover.
Carbon Standard: Climate Action Reserve UN SDGs: 13, 15
MALAWI
The Malawi High Efficiency Cookstoves Project is distributing and installing approximately 500K improved cookstoves (ICSs) in households across Malawi.
Why it’s important: ICSs burn wood more efficiently compared to traditional open fires and less efficient cookstoves, reducing household exposure to unhealthy smoke from open and indoor fires.
Carbon Standard: Verra UN SDGs: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 15
