WHY
Climate Change an Existential Threat
Climate change brought about by a carbon imbalance is an existential threat to Humanity and Economies. Temperature and weather changes have wrought havoc on communities and supply chains worldwide and left unchecked will lead to greater distress and loss of living and life worldwide.
The MICE industry
As an Aggregator of business activities bringing together elements of travel, hospitality, F&B, transportation, staging & production, entertainment and other human resources, the MICE / Business events industry worldwide is a major contributor of carbon emissions, with the PCMA estimating typical conference emissions are at about 1 ton of CO2e per person, and with increasing MICE activity post-COVID leading to even greater carbon emissions from more extensive travel.
The MICE industry
As an Aggregator of business activities bringing together elements of travel, hospitality, F&B, transportation, staging & production, entertainment and other human resources, the MICE / Business events industry worldwide is a major contributor of carbon emissions, with the PCMA estimating typical conference emissions are at about 1 ton of CO2e per person, and with increasing MICE activity post-COVID leading to even greater carbon emissions from more extensive travel.
With the acknowledgement that Events are essential in driving economies and effecting positive change, organisers face a challenge to create sustainable and responsible events in response to growing demands from Event attendees, sponsors and regulators.
With most carbon offset projects often sold at minimum quanta that are too high and often requiring complex purchase criteria, verified high-quality carbon credits have been out of reach for most, except for the largest firms and carbon emitters.
Whilst carbon emissions can be reduced through improved planning and procurement, residual emissions will always be present, with the only way to neutralise them being through genuine carbon offsets based on the principles of Additionality , Permanence, Leakage and Co-Benefits.
Addressing this need, MICEcarbon was conceived to allow Events attendees, organisers and key stakeholders an easy and transparent means of offsetting their carbon emissions, whilst focusing on their core business activities.

Further Benefits
In addition to contributing towards the Planet, People and Progress through real and verifiable carbon offset projects, Attendees and Organisers can benefit from using the offsets as a means of further exchange and interaction for more engaging and meaningful events.
How
MICEcarbon enables the tokenization of carbon credits, allowing individuals to purchase carbon offsets from as low as 1 Kg to multiples of 1MT of carbon emissions. Carbon credits are tokenised on the Algorand blockchain, a carbon zero platform, enabling full transparency and traceability, from origination to retirement.
Projects
MICEcarbon is powered by URECA, utilising cutting edge blockchain technology to tokenise larger blocks of carbon credits for access to a wider audience who can then purchase these at smaller, fractionalised quanta.
About
MICEcarbon allows MICE industry stakeholders worldwide a practical way to offset their carbon emissions meaningfully whilst continuing to focus on their core business.
MICEcarbon is a MICE industry targeted carbon-credits tokenisation platform that allows the transaction of carbon offsets from as low as 1 Kgs to multiples of 1MT of carbon through an intuitive, easy-to-use and integrable system that provides end – to – end transparency and traceability on the origin of the carbon offsets.
MICEcarbon was developed by MICE industry specialist AONIA together with climate-tech partner URECA to enable the MICE industry to better mitigate their carbon emissions and support climate impact efforts, and an example of how inter-industry collaborations are critical to help tackle global challenges.
