ALMAGUA CO2

The project

The world is undergoing environmental changes generated by forms of production, open exploitation of nature and in expansive cycles of pollution, which have led to the transformation of industrial production systems, with a sustainable orientation (Sachs, 2015).

Social marginality and global warming are closely related to the technological field, so it is essential to create strategies that urgently address this humanitarian and environmental alert.

In Colombia there are approximately 21 million Colombians in extreme poverty (DANE monetary poverty), this scenario has been built after the pandemic. According to information from ECLAC, in Latin America and Colombia, 10 years of efforts to reduce poverty and misery have been lost; After the economic and social crisis that unleashed the pandemic, as well as the historic 6.8% drop in GDP last year.

Globally, emissions reached a record 33,143 million tons of CO2 in 2018, in Colombia they reached 74,954 kilotonnes two years ago. The government's goal is to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 20% by 2030.

In energy and industrial systems, the options considered feasible for adaptation to global warming of 1.5 ° C are water management and cooling strategies, but these are not sufficient strategies.

ALMAGUA has been established as an organization oriented towards sustainable development within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (ODS), through projects that help mitigate gas emissions and empower communities economically in favor of social, sustainable and at the same time to guarantee

an economy worthy of those who live in marginality and poverty, especially women and children.

The project is characterized by merging three important factors for interoperability, scalability and performance in exchange protocols, such as the physical, digital and financial worlds. As supports for the structuring of a platform that will contribute to sustainable human coexistence, strategic alliances, cooperation and financial competition, the constitution of investment ecosystems, the change of the energy matrix and the fulfillment of the SDGs.

Process

Once Cardano has the development of smart contracts available, Almagua will initiate a process together with developers and interest groups willing to support the initiative to create smart contracts for the creation of a DAO in Cardano's main network, with voting power. and a democratic system. for the approval and creation of new tokens, as well as evaluating and validating new SPOs and in this way delegate from the almagua adas pool to encourage their participation.

Almagua develops social projects of aquaponic, hydraulic and productive reforestation, so that it can provide benefits to society and that its impact is measurable.

The projects will be certified by an entity; These certificates will be uploaded to the cardano mainnet through a unique registration code such as Non-Fungible Token in the Cardano network, which can later be consulted from the DAO Almagua. In this way, other companies or corporations interested in acquiring carbon credits will be able to monitor the process and will be aware that through the compensation process for acquiring credits they will also be supporting social and environmental projects developed by the Almagua foundation. in different sectors of Colombia, Latin America or the world.

Each of the projects that Almagua can replicate in other communities, since each of these projects is based on productive reforestation, donations and recycling campaigns to carry out the correct management of resources to have a holistic and totally circular approach. .

Initial stage for Found 6

As a first stage, to make our project possible, it will be of great relevance to create a Pool in Cardano Mainet, to get collaborators, for each person who joins the Pool, Almagua agrees to plant a tree with the capacity to absorb CO2.

Thus, Almagua and the community will work together in favor of native communities and the environment, on the one hand, the Pool community will have incentives in the adas and collaterally they will be supporting reforestation projects, part of the adas collected by the pool will be destined to the support and maintenance of the network, or to the support with adas to new SPOs, in the course of this time we will be training ourselves for the development of smart contracts, at this stage Almagua undertakes to carry out the first prototype of Certified Token, and in this way you can take those initial steps to a DAO in favor of mitigation with carbon neutral credits so that in the very near future Almagua can create new Tokens with Carbon Neutral Certificate.

167 kg of CO2 is the absorption capacity of a tree per year, that is why we propose this initiative of productive reforestation and by productive we mean that they are trees that will also fulfill the function of generating resources for native communities, this is a point exit to new projects that encourage the mitigation of the carbon footprint,

Here is no carbon offset system in Certified Carbon Neutral Cardano.

The creation of new tokens and nodes in the cardano network implies

an energy cost.

1 Stake Pool

3 nodes

Kilo Watts x h = 0.15

Co2 x h = 0.00006957831325301203

Co2 x 1 year = 1314 Kw the equivalent of 1314 charged smartphones

Co2 in Tons = 0.6095060240963855 Tons

Co2 in Kilo Grams = 609.50602409638554491 Kg

A tree captures between 10kg and 30 Kg of Co2 per year, it requires

60 trees to meet the demand for the creation of 3 nodes per hour.

1.23 hectares with trees produces enough oxygen per day to

start creating 3 nodes per hour in Staking. 

And since we are talking about proof of participation, Almagua is committed to doing the entire block creation and validation system with the implementation of solar energy and equipment that does not require a lot of energy consumption or computing power. we are sure that with the implementation of a simple solar panel system, a smart meter, a rasberry pi and a server in amazon Aws we can make this initiative possible.

To make possible the sustainability of the pool, allmagua will focus its efforts on carrying out educational campaigns of cardano in favor of environmental initiatives, in social networks, educational institutions, universities and interest groups in favor of the mitigation of the carbon footprint, of In this way, people will be able to have much more knowledge of the power of cardano and will understand all the correct process from the creation of the personal wallet, the acquisition of the adas, the pools, the proof of stake philosophy and transfer processes to their personal wallet. to do the freezing or staking process.

Estimated project time at 12 months

The first stage will be development and the tests will be carried out during the first semester until June.

The second stage will be focused on the marketing and communication plan of the platform, with a duration of 3 campaign months from July to September.

The third stage will publish the platform to finance social projects through donations between October, November and December.

From the initial planting stage until December, people will be able to monitor the growth of the trees with the implementation of an IP cam,

which can be accessed from the main page of Almagua, parallel to the creation of blocks Almagua will enter the certification process

with neutral carbon, a process that will be done through reforestation.
