To strengthen and implement the "Climate by Crypto" vision worldwide, Clima4Future GmbH 2023 has agreed a strategic partnership with the internationally positioned Knoll Group, thereby broadening its base. The future challenges with regard to regulations in the crypto sector can thus be mastered jointly through the network of the Knoll Group.
However, this means higher requirements in terms of documentation, quality and crypto security. As a first step, the next generation of the ERC20 Climacoins has now been launched.
With the Climacoin, the company is supporting innovative climate pioneers.
Clima4Future -
The climate vision by crypto
Clima4Future GmbH has been working on the "Climate by crypto" vision since 2020. By using the cryptocurrency Climacoin, innovative and sustainable companies and projects are promoted and supported. The use of the cryptocurrency Climacoin for the benefit of climate protection was unique at the time. The second ERC20 token will be available in 2024.
In the meantime, the European Parliament and the European Council said in the regulation of May 31, 2023:
"...crypto assets are among the most important applications of distributed ledger technology. .....crypto assets .... can provide an innovative and inclusive financing alternative...."
So Clima4Future was way ahead of its time.
Clima4Future also has consumer protection in mind:
The proceeds from the Climacoin are used firstly to purchase Co2 certificates, which are deposited to secure the value of the cryptocurrency, and secondly to invest in companies and projects worthy of support.

ClimaCoin –
The green cryptocurrency
Since its launch, Climacoin has been intended for use in the "green" environment. Initially still managed on an energy-intensive blockchain, it has been based on the Ethereum network since 2023 and conserves energy resources during production.
Cryptocurrencies are considered insecure, but are now also an important instrument for alternative, fast procurement of funds.
Hedging the value of the cryptocurrency is the order of the day. In the case of Climacoin, collateral is provided by purchasing and depositing Co2 certificates, which continuously increase in value.
Based on the current price of a Co2 certificate from the Federal Environment Agency, just 100 Climacoins (reference value: issue value on the P2B exchange) offset the emission of 1 ton of CO2!
Successful climate pioneers
SEKEM is a true climate pioneer. Active since 1977, SEKEM develops and establishes biodynamic farming methods. The "GREENING the DESERT" project has achieved impressive results not only in terms of green infrastructure, but also in terms of social and ethical standards.
Exchange campaign

You can follow the current performance of the 2nd gen Climacoin on the P2B exchange (www.p2pb2b.com).
We are also working on an app with which you can monitor the price development on your smartphone.
Supporting sustainable companies
Clima4Future supports companies and initiatives worldwide that strive for climate neutrality or have already implemented it - such as the SEKEM initiative.
SEKEM has been creating a sustainable livelihood for the Egyptian population for several decades and makes an active contribution to environmental protection - through the greening of desert areas (www.sekem.com)
Active climate protection - also with new technologies
While the rich industrialized nations can compensate for crop failures and damage for those affected, this does not apply to the poorer countries. Here the population suffers: food shortages due to droughts, loss of homes and farms due to flooding.
It is the declared aim of the initiators of the ClimaCoin project to actively protect the climate and to access new developments and technologies through climate action.
The corona crisis has further strengthened the idea of digital currencies for use in climate protection.
The climate-positive ClimaCoin
In the fight against climate change, technology and environmental projects go hand in hand. ClimaCoin is a climate-positive cryptocurrency that sets innovative standards by depositing CO2 certificates.
WE DON'T JUST PROMISE, WE ACT!
Our vision is to promote sustainable companies.
By obtaining these "green" CO2 certificates, we leave a climate-positive footprint.

Hedging through CO2 certificates
watch a videoCO2 certificates are emission certificates that have been issued by the Federal Environment Agency to registered industries or companies since 2005. They represent a permitted amount of CO2 emissions. If more CO2 is emitted than permitted, the additional emissions must be paid for or CO2 certificates from other companies must be purchased as compensation.
Conventional digital currencies usually have no real, tangible equivalent.
Your purchase of the ClimaCoin is secured by CO2 certificates from our sponsored partner. The governments' plans to use emissions trading to encourage CO2-negative industries to rethink their approach are well on the way. The forecasts for the price development of CO2 certificates are rising sharply.
The market price per tonne of CO2 is currently 75 euros. By 2025, the certificates are estimated to cost well over 100 euros. The fact that the certificates issued by governments are also increasing and decreasing in price at the same time further fuels the price development here.
Even the prices of conservatively issued CO2 certificates from governments will be determined through auctions from 2026. The price range here is 55 euros to 65 euros per ton of CO2.
Please take a look at the YouTube video from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Urban Complexity Lab at the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences (FHP):

What is a cryptocurrency?
A cryptocurrency is a digital currency that was not created by a central authority, e.g. a central bank, but rather via a mathematical algorithm. The first digital cryptocurrency, introduced in 2009, was Bitcoin, which is now considered the leading currency among cryptocurrencies.
The basic technical requirement for the creation of cryptocurrencies was the development of blockchain technology by Satoshi Nakamoto. Here, a mathematical algorithm is used to generate computing units that are passed directly between two parties (peer-to-peer) from computer to computer. The propagation is published as a transaction on and confirmed by a network in blocks in chronological order. Double payments are not possible as the transaction can only be carried out by confirming the correctness. Payments once made are not reversible.
This network structure is called a blockchain. The payment transactions are stored within the blockchain architecture in a seamless, forgery-proof manner and visible to everyone in the participating network.

Energy-efficient digital currency
Classic cryptocurrencies rely on a shortage in the market so that they can maintain an individual value. Providers achieve this through more difficult algorithms for “mining” or through a reduced release time on the market.
Clearly, these are very energy-intensive or unreliable mechanisms for buyers and investors.
The ClimaCoin was created with the vision of mitigating these practices and creating a cryptocurrency that is intrinsically valuable and does not consume any unnecessary energy. -
