Technology to unlock climate action at scale.
Toucan is building technology to unlock climate action at scale. Its digital infrastructure is helping to grow the voluntary carbon market (VCM) in a transparent and high-integrity way by increasing the flow of revenue to the most effective climate impact projects. Toucan is an early entrant into the market of tokenized credits, and its technology is designed to bring both established and nascent environmental assets onto the blockchain.

CHAR by Toucan is infrastructure for the automated, on-demand buying and selling of biochar carbon credits. It aggregates pre-screened credits from Puro.earth (“CORCs”) on one single platform as CHAR. Sell credits into CHAR, or purchase specific projects from CHAR’s available supply.
CHAR’s streamlined access to capital furthers Toucan’s mission to address major supply bottlenecks across CDR. It helps young and established projects in the nascent biochar market space to liquidate their credits to fund their growing operations.

In February 2020, Raphaël and Toucan co-founder Adam Spiers developed CO2ken, a prototype carbon offsetting system for the Ethereum blockchain. Following this, they joined the Blockchain For Social Impact Incubator, and were then awarded a grant by Polygon to deploy Toucan Protocol. Raphaël is also a founding member of Curve Labs where he was responsible for developing Curve Labs’ reach into energy and negative emissions markets. Raphaël firmly believes in using digital technologies to draw urgent attention to the climate crisis and unlock climate solutions at scale.
