Okcygenio’s business model combines security and financial potential, attracting investors to the carbon market in Brazil.

Okcygenio, developed by BlockBR, has emerged as a promising alternative in the growing carbon credit market. The company focuses on developing carbon credit projects with robust legal support and digital infrastructure with the following differential: tokenization.

The startup already has contracts covering 63,270 hectares of green areas and plans to increase this number fivefold in three years.

Business model based on security and profitability

Okcygenio’s business model targets owners of green areas who wish to monetize environmental preservation by generating and selling carbon credits.

• The company carries out a complete analysis and does not charge owners any initial fees.
• Their remuneration comes from retaining part of the carbon credits generated.

“We also offer a unique solution: the advance of credit with collateral in carbon credits guaranteed by the project, since Okcygenio has the entire chain process. In other words, if the client expects to generate, for example, one or two million carbon credits next year, we will advance part of that amount to them “ explains Juliana Moura, CEO of Okcygenio.

After securing all the necessary documentation, such as the registration of the property and collateral, Okcygenio offers the project to investment funds, which participate both in bringing forward the credits and in obtaining a percentage of the carbon credit collateral. This guarantees the solidity and trust of all the parties involved in the deal.

Advantages of tokenizing carbon credits

The innovation in Okcygenio’s model lies in the tokenization of carbon credits, done in partnership with BlockBR, a digital asset infrastructure fintech.

Tokenization digitizes carbon credits, making them easier to trade and guaranteeing traceability which helps to prevent greenwashing practices.

By transforming credits into tokens, the company offers transparency, security and liquidity for the asset, facilitating access for companies seeking sustainability goals and meeting the demand for transparent solutions in the carbon market.

• With tokenization, Okcygenio enables companies to monitor and buy carbon credits more efficiently and quickly.
• This B2B model attracts large organizations that want to offset their emissions safely and reduces the complexity of buying and selling credits, benefiting the owners of certified areas.

“Okcygenio represents an important milestone for BlockBR, as it strengthens our purpose of entering the carbon offset market definitively, strategically and at the right time,” says Cássio J. Krupinsk, CEO of BlockBR.

Potential of the Brazilian carbon credit market

The global market for carbon credits is growing by around 30% a year, driven by demand from companies seeking to align themselves with environmental commitments.

Juliana points out that, with the entry of players like Amazon and B3 into this sector, Brazil is emerging as one of the main suppliers of carbon credits due to its forest wealth. By focusing on legal certainty and the tokenization of credits, Okcygenio is well positioned to serve this growing market.
