Neutralization of residual
CO2 emissions
It is important to neutralize the unavoidable residual emissions in carbon sinks such as the forest after the greatest possible, scientifically based reduction in CO2 emissions. With our nature-based carbon certificates from German forests, we enable companies based in Germany to do just that – for a sustainable future for the economy and forests in the sense of a “nature positive” approach. We offer companies maximum transparency and reliable measurability of the CO2 storage volume shown with our certificates.
We support companies in being able to meet the requirements for the neutralization of residual emissions and forest owners in adapting their forests to climate change in order to preserve the forests and strengthen their protective functions and biodiversity.
Industrial companies must prove their efforts to avoid or reduce their CO2 emissions. For unavoidable emissions in the Net Zero scenario, only neutralization models in carbon sinks such as the German forest come into question. The main challenge here is the reliability of the neutralization …
The forest is the ideal partner for industry on its way from Net Zero to the “Nature Positive” scenario. Especially with a view to the regulation on sustainability (e.g. CSRD or Directive on Green Claims), the forest and its comprehensive ecosystem services can cover the great need of industry and society for long-term safe solutions …
Our mission
Climate change and the associated destruction of habitats is the greatest challenge of our time. A comprehensive, sustainable transformation is essential so that our planet also offers living space for future generations. Our certificates according to the QF standard make the neutralization of unavoidable residual emissions transparent, traceable and verifiable. They also create economic incentives to avoid emissions and to strengthen the natural reservoir forest, thus preserving ecosystems and their contribution to nature positive.
With the latest technology, scientific know-how and expertise, we support companies, municipalities and forest owners on their way to a measurably more sustainable future. We certify the neutralization of residual CO2 emissions from companies based in Germany and also document the reinvestment in the forest and its ecosystem services that is possible through the sale of the certificates. For the first time, the forest owner receives monetary compensation for the CO2 neutralization performance of his forest, which supports him in (re)building the forest sustainably.
