Ripple 是一家加密解决方案公司，将通过投资面向气候的金融科技公司，承诺 1 亿美元用于实现碳去除目标。
基于区块链的支付网络旨在促进碳去除技术的加速发展，以实现碳市场的现代化。
碳市场将允许公司和个人交易碳信用以抵消一些公司尚未找到绕过的二氧化碳排放量。
根据报告 ，这些资金将用于 Ripple 的项目组合，帮助它在 2030 年之前实现净零。
与此同时，该基金将支持新功能和开发人员工具，这些功能和开发工具将使碳信用令牌化成为 XRP 分类账上的不可替代令牌（NFT）。
首席执行官 Brad Garlinghouse 表示，Ripple Labs 的这一举措将起到“催化作用”，将致力于改善碳市场。
布拉德加林豪斯声称，该基金是对气候变化“全球行动呼吁的直接回应”。
加林豪斯还表示，现在鼓励公司将资源与人才一起配置，作为全球对鼓励碳去除活动的回应，以通过抑制碳排放来减缓全球温度的上升。
Ripple 一直在谈论如果作为代币挖矿是迄今为止最节能的加密货币会造成浪费。
他进一步补充说，
虽然减少排放和向低碳未来过渡至关重要，但碳市场也是实现气候目标的重要工具。区块链和加密货币可以发挥催化作用，让碳市场充分发挥潜力，为分散、复杂的市场带来更多流动性和可追溯性

该公司还与参与碳市场的许多其他公司建立了合作伙伴关系。这些伙伴关系将有助于实现减少碳排放的目标。
该公司已与碳矿化公司 CarbonCure Technolgies、获得联合国支持的代币化初创公司 Xange.com 以及碳抵消公司 Invert 合作。
Ripple 还与能源网络基金会、创新监管联盟和落基山研究所合作。
Ripple 的 RippleX 总经理 Monica Long 表示，
一些碳清除项目和金融科技公司已经在 XRPL 的基础上进行建设，以将新的气候解决方案推向市场。通过将区块链引入全球气候倡议，该行业可以更快地验证和证明 NFT 碳信用额度，消除欺诈的可能性，甚至保证抵消实际上是长期消除碳。
Ripple 共同创立了加密货币气候协议，该协议招募了 500 多名成员，分布在加密货币和金融、技术、非政府组织以及能源和气候领域。瑞波币也是一个 世界经济论坛的加密影响和可持续性加速器 (CISA) 的创始成员。
