In what ways can Patch enhance the quality and quantity of projects on the supply side of their carbon offset marketplace?

Patch, because of the role we play in carbon markets today, can never be a verifier ourselves. We believe it's structurally unethical to be both an exchange and a credit rating agency at the same time.

What that means is that we're always going to partner with third parties to produce that verification data, but we will present it in a way that it's easy to digest. 

We talked about increasing the quality of the broader ecosystem. The role Patch plays is really making sure that buyers truly understand what they are buying. 

We standardize and aggregate the supply side of the marketplace, but we also make it easy to make an apples-to-apples comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of different technology and project types. That is the role we see ourselves playing. By driving that transparency and ensuring that information is transparent, we believe the best will bubble to the top.
