Product Description: Raspberry Pi Carbon Removal Credit - offsetting the CO2 emissions associated with the production of your Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi Carbon Removal Credit is a credit card-sized card with a unique serial number that represents the offset of the carbon footprint associated with the production, shipping, and disposal of a Raspberry Pi board. By partnering with UNDO , which uses enhanced rock weathering technology, Raspberry Pi helps remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The process involves grinding up volcanic basalt rocks that are scattered over farmland, which speeds up their natural erosion, removing CO2 and enriching the soil with essential minerals. By purchasing a Raspberry Pi Carbon Removal Credit, you offset the emissions associated with the production, shipping, and disposal of one Raspberry Pi device , which is equivalent to 6.5 kg of CO2 removed . By doing so, Raspberry Pi supports the sustainability goals of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. You can use the card with its unique code to verify your contribution to the project.
Raspberry Pi Carbon Removal Credit - offsetting the CO2 emissions associated with manufacturing your Raspberry Pi.
How does it work?
In the natural weathering process of rocks, rain combines with CO2 to form carbonic acid . When it falls on mountains, forests or meadows, the CO2 reacts with the rocks and soil, mineralizing and safely storing as carbonate. This process removes a billion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere each year.
The “Enhanced Rock Weathering” process used in the Raspberry Pi Carbon Removal Credit project uses crushed basalt , a type of volcanic rock. Basalt is rich in silicate minerals that react with carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere, and this process helps remove CO2 from the air by mineralizing it and permanently storing it as carbonates. Basalt is particularly suitable for this purpose because it is readily available worldwide and its structure allows it to accelerate the natural weathering process.
Thanks to UNDO, the weathering process of rocks takes only decades, not millions of years.
Each card has a unique serial number.
How does Raspberry Pi help?
Raspberry Pi supports the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by offering the Raspberry Pi Carbon Removal Credit . Every credit purchased supports the UNDO organization . By purchasing the card, customers can offset their carbon emissions, which is created during the production, transportation and disposal of Raspberry Pi boards. As part of this process, Raspberry Pi purchases 6 kg of carbon offset credits from UNDO , which removes this amount of CO2 from the atmosphere. By investing in this initiative, Raspberry Pi is not only providing users with technology, but also engaging them in actions for sustainable development and combating climate change.
By purchasing a Raspberry Pi Carbon Removal Credit card with a Raspberry Pi board or other product, you will make the most of its potential by helping to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
