SOME OF OUR REGENERATIVE FARMERS
Frequently Asked Questions
From Farmers
How much can you earn with Alberami?
It depends on how many and which new agronomic practices are adopted after signing a contract with Alberami. You can earn up to a maximum of 500 euros per year per hectare.
If I partner with Alberami, will I have problems receiving CAP payments, organic farming payments, or winning any RDP calls for proposals?
Alberami is a private company completely independent from European community policies regarding payments. All our farmers receive CAP income (and possibly the others listed as well), in addition to earning an additional sum through our project.
How much does your service cost?
Alberami earns its profit by retaining a percentage of the credit sales: if the farmer doesn’t earn, Alberami doesn’t earn. There is an annual fee for farmers, which is used to cover management expenses. Details at this link.
How can carbon credits be generated on a farm?
Just follow the good agronomic practices suggested by Alberami as outlined in this brochure.
From Buyers
Is there a minimum number of tons of CO₂ to offset?
Yes, for administrative and practical reasons, we currently consider offsets of at least 5 tons of CO₂. However, it’s important to note that a family of four typically emits at least 8 tons per year.
How does the compensation process work through Alberami?
Offsetting your emissions with Alberami is very simple.
Once registered, with all the necessary information:
- The Platform automatically aggregates your request with one or more plots needed to offset the amount of CO₂ you have requested;
- Alberami ‘withdraws’ the carbon credits related to your offset from the market, that is, it removes from the availability catalog the plot used to offset your emissions.
- You receive your Offset Certificate, certified by the Platform;
- Alberami allocates to the farmer a predetermined percentage of the proceeds from the offset.
At Alberami, we do our best to simplify a complex and laborious act, to achieve a common goal together!
What does buying Beyond Carbon Credits from Alberami mean?
Buying carbon credits from Alberami means co-financing certified projects with the assurance that each credit purchased corresponds to one ton of CO₂ absorbed or avoided, through projects that respect or promote eco-sustainability. The properties of each credit are indelibly tracked using innovative Blockchain technology to prevent double counting, double allocation, or any fraudulent alteration.
How can one acquire certificates issued by Alberami?
Alberami withdraws Carbon Credits on the voluntary market on behalf of those intending to offset (the quantity is defined through the subscription form) and provides a uniquely registered certificate using Blockchain technology, which includes a series of data such as:
- Quantity of Carbon Credits (tons) withdrawn
- Unique serial number
- Withdrawal date
- Beneficiary
- The parcel that generated the withdrawn Carbon Credits
- Type
- GPS coordinates
