Project Story

We are seeking $200,000 to support the engineering and project acceleration aspects

Climatenza Solar proposes the deployment of high-efficiency solar thermal systems using the Ayman Solar Concentrator (ASC) technology across four key Colgate-Palmolive plants in India. These systems are designed to replace natural gas and diesel-based process heating, thereby reducing carbon emissions, fuel dependency, and operational costs.
The four selected sites include:
• Oral Care Plant – Goa
• Personal & Home Care Plant – Baddi
• Toothpaste Plant – Barwala
• Toothbrush Manufacturing Unit – Sanand (Tentative)

Our solution delivers process heat at up to 250°C, compatible with Colgate’s water and steam-based process heating requirements. The projects are designed to be modular and scalable, ensuring rapid implementation and measurable climate impact.

Results:

Carbon credits pre-purchases, royalty-based contracts, and fixed financing agreements will be executed in standard formats but also represented as blockchain-based digital assets.

These assets leverage blockchain technology for transparency, traceability, and security, ensuring each carbon credit is uniquely identifiable and verifiable. After an escrow period, these digital assets can be openly traded, offering liquidity and flexibility while maintaining the integrity of carbon offset transactions.

This innovative approach combines traditional funding mechanisms with modern blockchain solutions to enhance accessibility and trust in the carbon market.
