WATERTOWN, Mass., Aug. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
AireCoreX Launch
Spectaire Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:SPEC) ("Spectaire" or the "Company"), a pioneer in environmental measurement technology, today announced the launch of its innovative carbon credit trading platform, www.AireCoreX.com, and the completion of the first-ever carbon credit transaction sourced directly from measured diesel engine emissions using the Company's AireCore technology. This significant milestone positions Spectaire at the forefront of sustainable technology, leveraging its AireCore system to provide unparalleled transparency and accuracy in carbon credit measurement.
Brian Semkiw, CEO of Spectaire, stated, "With over 10 million diesel engines worldwide that can benefit from emissions mitigation technology, there is a significant opportunity to generate substantial carbon credits for those trucking fleets, oil and gas companies and ship owners that take steps to mitigate emissions. Each engine has the potential to produce at least 100 carbon credits annually. We believe that measured emissions will create carbon credits that are more valuable, and having a platform to transact carbon credits will make the market more accessible. As the carbon credit market has seen prices exceed $100 per credit, our AireCore and AireCoreX platforms are uniquely poised to address a potential addressable market greater than $100 Billion."
The Company believes that this groundbreaking transaction is a pivotal moment in e-commerce history, as Semkiw states, "The completion of the first measured emissions-generated carbon credit on AireCoreX is comparable to Amazon selling its first book. It's a historic step towards transforming the carbon credit market."
AireCoreX offers a comprehensive and user-friendly experience for participants in the carbon credit market. The platform provides a seamless online portal for the purchase of existing carbon credits and the pre-purchase of credits to be generated. Users can customize their credits based on geography and industry, tailoring their carbon offset strategies to meet specific needs. Each transaction is backed by detailed block chain certification and comprehensive data, ensuring full transparency and auditability.
The rise of carbon credits as a critical component in corporate net-zero strategies has been significant. In 2023, the global market expanded by 58%, reflecting the increasing demand for verifiable and impactful climate actions. Over 70% of Fortune 500 companies have integrated carbon credits into their sustainability initiatives, underscoring their importance in meeting emission reduction goals.
Current market challenges, such as the reliance on projections for future reductions and the lack of auditability, often undermine the credibility of carbon credits. AireCoreX addresses these issues by utilizing direct field measurements for CO2e gases, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of each credit. This approach provides a robust solution to the inconsistencies and inaccuracies prevalent in traditional methods.

Brian Semkiw, CEO of Spectaire, commented, "While we are disappointed to receive this notice, we view this as a transitional phase in our journey. Our commitment to driving innovation in air quality and emissions reduction technology remains unwavering.
