Our carbon offsetting projects
Your monthly subscription supports a variety of reforestation and carbon offsetting projects. Projects such as:
Mexico, North America
Campana De Uso Intelegente De Energia Mexico – Smart Use of Energy Mexico
- Credit standard – UN Carbon Credits
This project saw the distribution of 30 million energy-efficient lightbulbs to millions of households across Mexico during 2011 and 2012. Its aim was to cut carbon emissions, reduce poverty and help to deliver energy security to Mexico. The project contributes significantly to Mexico’s sustainable development, abating greenhouse gas through avoiding electricity usage. It was estimated to reduce Mexico’s carbon emissions by 6.8 Million tonnes and householders would save approximately US$1.1 Billion on energy bills.
Eritrea, Africa
Energy Efficiency – Domestic – Cookstoves
- Credit standard – Gold Standard
This project involves the distribution of fuel-efficient cook stoves and safe water technologies to households within Eritrea’s Anseba district. As well as reducing deforestation via less wood use (for cooking and water boiling), the project is expected to have additional benefits for local communities, such as reducing indoor air pollution-related illnesses, smoke inhalation and consumption of unsafe drinking water, improved employment opportunities. The first stove was distributed on 9th March 2015.
Brazil, South America
TRM Renewable Energy – Wind
- Credit standard – Verra
This project oversees the implementation and operation of fourteen wind power plants across Brazil , displacing fossil fuel-fired power plants and related emissions. All renewable power produced from this project is supplied to the Brazilian National Interconnected System electrical grid, helping to meet Brazil’s growing energy demand in a sustainable manner. The wind power plants this project implements have a total energy generation capacity of 358.8 MW.On top of reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions, this project provides additional income for landowners, creates job opportunities unities and provides education so the local workforce can build capabilities and professionalize
India, Asia
Wind power – India, Asia
- Credit standard – UN Carbon Credit
Transport Corporation of India Limited (TCI) enerted into the energy sector in 2003 looking to promote non-conventional energy means. The main purpose of this project was to generate electrical energy through sustainable means using wind power resources, and to contribute to climate change mitigation efforts. Apart from generation of renewable electricity, the project has also enhanced the propagation of commercialisation of MW class wind turbines and contributed to the sustainable development of the region, socially, environmentally and economically. Currently, it holds 11.50 MW windmills in Rajasthan and Maharashtra

FAQs
Where will my trees be planted
We'll facilitate the planting of your trees in one of our partner forests across the world.
What is a UN carbon credit?
Your monthly subscription includes a UN CER (certified emission reduction) credit. This is generated from an emission-reduction project in a developing country (such as wind farms or energy-efficient cooking stoves).
What is the total offset?
Each tree sequesters an estimated 0.3t of CO2 over a 25-year growth period. For each tree, we issue a 0.25t UN Carbon Credit, which has been verified and already offset.
How much should I offset per month?
The amount of CO2 you or your business generates each month depends on different factors.
The UK Government has a useful guide on measuring your greenhouse gas emissions. This will help you choose the right monthly package for you, your business or your employees.
Carbon Independent estimates the average carbon footprint in the UK as 9.84 tonnes CO2 per person, per year. That's 0.82t per month.
We also have a handy travel calculator here.
Payment is taken on the same day each month (or year, for annual subscriptions).
For example, if you create a subscription on 5th January, payment is taken on the 5th of each month.
Monthly subscription – Trees are automatically planted on the platform on the day of payment each month.
Annual subscription – Trees are automatically planted on the platform on the same day each month (e.g. if you started your subscription on 14 February, trees will be planted on the platform on the 14th of each month)
Yes – we’ll send you an email each month telling you when your trees are planted on the platform.
