Neural network over Earth — carbon-aware AI
World's First Carbon-Aware AI

AI measures its own footprint.
AI removes it too.

Tao Climate's AI tracks the CO₂ created by every query — and immediately offsets it through verified nature-based carbon removal. No other AI does this. It's not a feature. It's a founding principle.

100% AI query footprint offset
~0.7g CO₂ per AI query (GPT-4 scale)
How it works

From query to net-zero in three steps.

Every AI interaction is measured, offset, and verified — automatically.

1

AI query runs

When an AI processes a request, Tao Climate measures the CO₂ equivalent of the compute — GPU energy, cooling, data centre overhead.

2

Footprint calculated

The AI's carbon footprint is calculated per query using industry-standard energy intensity factors (kWh per token, weighted by data centre PUE).

3

Verified removal purchased

An equivalent amount of CO₂ is immediately retired through verified nature-based carbon removal projects — satellite MRV confirmed, registry-issued certificates.

AI measures its own footprint

Every query. Every time.
No estimates.

Most AI systems have no idea how much carbon they produce. Tao Climate's Carbon AI measures compute energy per query — GPU draw, data centre PUE, cooling overhead — and converts it to CO₂ equivalents in real time.

AI removes what it emits

Verified nature-based removal.
Not offsets. Retirements.

For every tonne of CO₂ an AI query produces, Tao Climate retires an equivalent amount through satellite-MRV-verified nature-based carbon removal (NBS). Registry certificates are issued and publicly verifiable — not purchased and pooled.

AI makes carbon removal efficient

Use AI to target the highest-impact carbon removal.

Traditional carbon offsets are blunt instruments — buy credits, feel good, unclear impact. Tao Climate's AI targets the most efficient NBS projects by location, project type, verification standard, and price — delivering more carbon removal per dollar.

Optimization

AI-match projects to need

Tao Climate's AI maps carbon removal projects against your specific emissions profile — geography, sector, intensity — and identifies the highest-leverage removal opportunities.

Efficiency

Less cost per tonne of CO₂

AI-driven project selection reduces overhead and matches buyers to underpriced, high-quality NBS projects that mainstream markets miss — delivering more verified removal per dollar.

Measurement

Satellite MRV confirms every tonne

All Tao Climate removal is verified by satellite remote sensing — no self-reporting, no estimated sequestration rates. The CO₂ curves of forests and wetlands are tracked from orbit, in real time.

Scale

From query to 70,000t/day

At GPT-4 scale (~100M queries/day), AI's carbon footprint becomes a 70,000 tonne/day removal opportunity. That's not a small number — it's the kind of scale that moves national emissions inventories.

Measuring any activity's footprint

AI doesn't just offset itself. It measures everything.

The same AI infrastructure that tracks AI query emissions can measure the carbon footprint of any activity — flights, shipping, data centre operations, supply chains, industrial processes. One AI platform, all sources.
