  About EcoCRED  

 

EcoCRED is a sustainability platform aimed at empowering people to do more for the planet. Through its mobile application, EcoCRED estimates users' daily carbon footprint based on where they live, how they commute, their heating and air conditioning habits and the type of vehicle they drive. It also suggests simple tasks and useful lifestyle habits that help educate the users and, if incorporated into daily routine, significantly reduce their carbon footprint.

 

On the EcoCRED app, users can build eco-friendly habits, discover sustainable products, and read insightful articles about climate change. The app and website also offer science-backed carbon offsets that help the community get closer to a carbon-neutral life. The App has had over 60,000 downloads and the EcoCRED community of users have collectively reduced over 4,000,000 pounds of carbon emissions through their habits and offsets since the app was launched ( https://www.ecocred.io/pages/about ). Based on some basic information, such as diet, lifestyle, and residence, the app analyzes its user's current energy consumption behaviors to estimate the user's daily carbon footprint. EcoCRED's community of eco-conscious users connect with each other for support and helpful information.

 

  Strategic Acquisition  

 

The EcoCRED acquisition is a strategic one for Facedrive. In an immediate sense, the acquisition will enable Facedrive to implement EcoCRED's carbon-offsetting technology throughout its ecosystem of application verticals. From a broader perspective, EcoCRED's mission is to assist consumers in reducing their carbon footprint, while Facedrive was founded with the objective of providing environmentally-conscious consumers with responsible alternatives that, among other things, helped them offset the carbon impact of their decisions (for example, their ride). The intention is for these natural synergies to appeal to a common customer base and target audience.

 

"Facedrive and EcoCRED were both founded on a common vision and guided by similar principles. Furthermore, both companies have demonstrated that consumers will increasingly show a preference for eco-friendly options," said Sayan Navaratnam, CEO and Chairman of Facedrive. "We will be working closely with Exelon to ensure that EcoCRED transitions smoothly into the Facedrive ecosystem and we are positive that EcoCRED's unique technology will provide great value for our combined customer base."

EVs Emit 73 percent Less Than Gas Cars: Study

A new analysis from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has found that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) sold in Europe today produce 73 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetime than comparable gasoline-powered cars

The findings are based on an updated life-cycle assessment (LCA) of all major vehicle powertrain types, including internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), hybrids (HEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).

The report accounts for emissions from vehicle and battery manufacturing, energy production, use and maintenance, while crucially considering changes in the EU’s electricity mix over a car’s operational life.
