Buddied tree planting: In addition to the carbon offset credits, we plant 2 trees per tonne of CO₂e offset. Our tree planting partners include Ripple Africa and Eden: People+Planet (formerly Eden Reforestation Projects), both of which plant trees to improve livelihoods where they're needed most. Alongside our tree planting, we also commit to diverting 50p per tonne of CO₂e from every sale to support our free data, tools, and resources.

About this Project

The Biogas Digesters in Indonesia Programme is a Gold Standard Certified carbon offsetting project which distributes biogas digesters to rural farming communities.

With 28,557 installations to date, this project is enabling farmers in rural communities to switch to 100% renewable energy, allowing those with livestock to produce their own sustainable fuels. The project not only provides a clean alternative to unsustainable firewood or expensive fossil fuels but also makes cooking easier and faster, saving 61 minutes per day for women (project W+ Certified). Additionally, it supports economic opportunities for local construction companies, masons, and the sale of fertilisers.

Benefits of Biogas Digester Carbon Credits

• Promotes the switch to 100% renewable energy sources
• Certified time-saving of 61 minutes per day for women
• Project W+ Certified
• Provides jobs and boosts local economy through construction and fertiliser sales
• Reduces smoke and fossil fuel use, leading to positive health benefits, particularly for women and children
• Bio slurry from digesters serves as a free alternative to chemical fertilisers, enhancing crop production for 9,043 households
• Reduces deforestation and smoke generation, contributing to better air quality and environmental conservation
