When designing a forestry management plan, we estimate the quantity of carbon captured using our in-house carbon methodology verified by Bureau Veritas. Unlike other methodologies, it is specifically adapted to represent continuous cover forestry systems.
We use our knowledge and local forestry expertise to source the most appropriate land for your project in Europe. We practise sustainable silviculture, thinning mature trees for timber whilst leaving the forest to stand as a healthy ecosystem.
We measure actual carbon captured through your project every five years, and issue verified ex-post credits. This provides you with solid evidence of your company's action and carbon sequestration. We combine ground-based measurements and remote-sensing to monitor your forests and help you communicate progress with your key stakeholders.
Achieving Net Zero by 2050
To be in line with its commitments to the SBTi, Just will cover a portion of its scope 1 and 2 emissions by purchasing approximately 60,000 carbon credits. These credits are certified by Bureau Veritas and are located in French forests using the EcoTree methodology adapted to mixed forestry with continuous forest cover.
Capture of unavoidable emissions
After avoiding and reducing its carbon emissions, United B is embarking on a project to capture its incompressible emissions from scopes 1 and 2, estimated at 5900 Teq CO₂. The carbon credits are certified by Bureau Veritas and are located in French forests using a methodology adapted to mixed-species forestry with continuous forest cover.
Restoration of burned forests - Label Bas Carbone
With the Earthion program, Acer has undertaken a profound transformation of its industrial model to reduce its environmental impact. Acer has chosen to participate in a restoration project of the burned forest of Ruaudin, obtaining 1000 carbon credits certified by Label Bas Carbone. A sustainable, traceable, and tangible project, where 6 hectares of forests have been restored.
The term Nature-based Solution (NBS) is used to characterise an active and ambitious participation in the fight against climate change, by doing more than conserving biodiversity. The sustainable maintenance of forests to sequester carbon is a NFS.
Project funding is made possible through the renewal of forest stands in poor condition, which, due to decline, have led to or will lead to sanitary cuts, replanting after a fire, etc., or through the afforestation of lands where establishing a mixed forest can substantially increase carbon sequestration while enhancing biodiversity.
To select the right carbon project for you, EcoTree rigorously prioritises projects that:
- Promote diverse enrichment (at least three different species).
- Include commitments to biodiversity (e.g., conserving part of the plot in its natural state or creating old-growth islands; opening or restoring a wetland area; installing beehives and planting nectar-producing trees).
- Emphasise natural regeneration.
- Involve owners committed to mixed continuous cover forestry (ProSilva, AFI members, or those with a management plan oriented in this direction).
- Have actions managed by known and trusted experts or partner managers.
Our projects are designed for long-term sustainability and do not seek short-term profitability, ensuring that your investment is secure and aligned with your environmental goals. Management through continuous cover forestry (SMCC) is necessary for BV carbon credits. Read our white paper on how to select high-quality carbon credits.
In contrast to a regulated market, the voluntary carbon market (VCM) allows companies, private investors or NGOs to voluntarily buy carbon credits to reduce their emissions and, thus, include them in their climate action plan.
While carbon offsetting mechanisms do not necessarily involve reducing CO2 levels in the atmosphere, sequestration projects contribute by capturing and storing carbon sustainably. Read our white paper that answers the 10 most important questions to ask when committing to a carbon contribution strategy.
Verified by Bureau Veritas, our methodology takes into account the four principles of additionality, permanence, measurability and uniqueness defined by the Low Carbon Label, based on 100-year forestry itineraries.
Trees capture CO2 from the air through their leaves during the process of photosynthesis. They isolate the carbon molecules, release oxygen and sequester the carbon permanently in their trunks, branches and roots.
Carbon thus represents just under a quarter of a tree's total weight, bearing in mind that around half its density is water.
1 m3 of wood stores a little less than one tonne of CO₂. It is thus considered thata tree captures on average 25 kg of CO₂ per year. This is an indicative figure, bearing in mind that CO₂ capture is not the same depending on the species, the age of the tree and the conditions of the forest site.
A carbon sink is an ecosystem that captures CO2 and sequesters it over time, absorbing more than it releases, much like the human body that inhales oxygen from the air and retains more than it releases, using it to grow and develop.
