BNZ Green, a climate-focused startup based in Mumbai, has secured $100,000 in a pre-seed funding round. This investment, spearheaded by Climate Detox, marks a significant step for BNZ Green’s mission to revolutionize the carbon credit market using blockchain technology.

Climate Detox Backs BNZ Green’s Innovative Approach
Gaurav VK Singhvi, representing Climate Detox, commented on the investment: “Taking decisive action against climate change is vital to safeguard ecosystems, promote sustainable development, and reduce the widespread impacts we’re facing. Carbon credits play a crucial role in combating deforestation, and achieving the ambitious Paris Agreement goals requires a significant expansion of carbon markets – a 15-fold increase by 2030. This is a critical pathway to a sustainable future.”
He continued, praising BNZ Green’s pioneering role: “By leveraging cutting-edge blockchain technology, they’re positioned to transform the voluntary carbon market. This strategic approach not only improves liquidity and transparency but also directs funds towards essential conservation efforts, reforestation projects, and ecosystem restoration. Furthermore, BNZ Green supports creative carbon reduction and removal initiatives in developing nations.”

This collaboration strengthens our collective fight against climate change and fosters environmental stewardship. We’re excited to partner with Climate Detox, leveraging their expertise and global network to create a platform offering accessible and effective environmental preservation solutions. By harnessing blockchain technology, we aim to inspire and unite individuals and businesses in achieving Net-Zero status.”
The funds will be strategically allocated towards platform development and marketing initiatives, with a focus on improving user experience and boosting brand awareness. BNZ Green’s goal is to unite individuals and businesses in pursuit of Net-Zero goals.
