What are carbon credits, and how do they work?

Carbon credits represent one metric ton of verified carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions reduced or removed.

Can Suomi assist with carbon-related intellectual property?

Yes, we are leaders in carbon IP. Mr. Oliver is the inventor of the first-ever patent issued by USPTO (USPTO #16/295832) issued for a carbon-generating process, with multiple other pending applications.
