Buddied tree planting. In addition to the carbon offset credits, we plant 4 trees per tonne of CO₂e offset. We are an official partner of Eden Reforestation Projects, who plant trees to improve livelihoods.
Alongside our tree planting, we also commit to diverting £1 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.
