Quoting from the Nori whitepaper at https://nori.com/white-paper :

Carbon Removal Certificate (CRC): a digital asset, or electronic certificate, that is stored on the Ethereum blockchain in the Nori application. One CRC represents one tonne of CO2-equivalent heat trapping gas that has been removed from the atmosphere and stored in an industrial, terrestrial, subsurface, and/or aquatic reservoir.
