Carbon crediting platform Puro.earth launched MyPuro 2.0 on Monday, an upgraded digital certification system designed to expedite the approval of carbon removal projects, making them faster, more transparent, and easier to manage.

The Finland-based company stated that the platform will enable carbon removal suppliers to shorten audit cycles, track progress in real-time, and issue verified carbon credits more frequently.

Accelerating Carbon Certification

Puro.earth President Jan-Willem Bode said the goal is to make certifying “high-quality, science-backed carbon removal credits as efficient and seamless as possible.”

“This is a major leap forward,” Bode said. “It improves workflows today and builds the foundation for digitally verified issuance cycles tomorrow.”

The upgraded MyPuro 2.0 allows suppliers to upload documentation, explore digitized methodologies and follow guided steps to complete certification tasks. It simplifies interactions between suppliers, auditors and partners, reducing the time required for project approval.

Tech Backbone for the Carbon Market

The platform’s new architecture, built with Alcove, supports API connections, automated notifications and integration with other ecosystem tools.

These features will enable high-frequency issuance and digital monitoring, reporting and verification in future updates.

For buyers, the improvements mean faster access to verified carbon dioxide removal certificates. These credits are purchased by global corporations, including Microsoft, Shopify and Zurich Insurance, to offset residual carbon emissions.

Supporting Global Climate Goals

Puro.earth’s certification follows the Puro Standard, which verifies that carbon dioxide is stored durably for at least 100 years. By accelerating certification, MyPuro 2.0 facilitates the scaling up of projects crucial to achieving net-zero climate targets.

The company will begin migrating suppliers from its existing system over the next few months. More than 360 carbon removal suppliers are part of Puro.earth’s global network.

Driving Digital Innovation in Carbon Removal

“This upgrade reflects our commitment to making supplier success as seamless as possible,” Bode said. “We’re building a future where certification is rigorous but frictionless.”

Nasdaq, which acquired a majority stake in Puro.earth in 2021, continues to back the company’s effort to develop transparent and scalable carbon removal markets.

By blending technology with rigorous standards, Puro.earth aims to strengthen trust in voluntary carbon markets and accelerate climate action worldwide.
