The aim of the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) is to support and speed up the transition from fossil carbon to renewable carbon for all organic chemicals and materials. RCI addresses the core problem of climate change, which is extracting and using additional fossil carbon from the ground that will eventually end up in the atmosphere. Companies are encouraged to focus on phasing out fossil resources and to use renewable carbon instead. The initiative wants to drive this message, initiating further actions by bringing stakeholders together, providing information and shaping policy to strive for a climate-neutral circular economy. | The aim of the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) is to support and speed up the transition from fossil carbon to renewable carbon for all organic chemicals and materials.

Renewable Carbon entails all carbon sources that avoid or substitute the use of any additional fossil carbon from the geosphere. Renewable carbon can come from the biosphere, atmosphere or technosphere – but not from the geosphere. Renewable carbon circulates between biosphere, atmosphere or technosphere, creating a carbon circular economy. | Renewable Carbon entails all carbon sources that avoid or substitute the use of any additional fossil carbon from the geosphere.

In order to fight climate change, we need to curb our consumption of fossil resources. Therefore, we need renewable carbon. Fossil carbon shall be completely substituted by renewable carbon, which is carbon from alternative sources: biomass, CO<sub>2</sub> and recycling. | In order to fight climate change, we need to curb our consumption of fossil resources.
