| COMPENSATE THROUGH THE CREATION OF CARBON WELLS | |
| A unique environmental concept. | |
| ZEROCO2 offers to neutralize your CO2 emissions by planting a number of trees equal to the total amount of CO2 emitted. The large scale planting of trees creates immense carbon capture wells and helps to counteract the consequences of the greenhouse effect. | |
| By planting trees you are at the same time creating large public green spaces that benefit local residents and beautify the urban landscape. There are also numerous other benefits from the planting of trees such as supporting biodiversity and the rehabilitation of natural areas. Since the program’s creation hundreds of hectares of public lands have been made green again while meeting the ISO 14064 standard. | |
|
| OFFSET THROUGH THE PURCHASE OF CARBON CREDITS | |
| Credits certified by the highest standards. | |
| ZEROCO2 has confirmed its status as a world leader in the fight against climate change by adding the possibility of purchasing high quality carbon credits to its offering. The largest certification programs presently in place, namely Gold Standard and VCS, ensuring that the emissions reduction programs are the best on the market, certify all projects that are part of the credits issued by ZEROCO2. The criteria of these two certifications are very strict and rigorous, guaranteeing that those who take part in the program are having a real impact on climate change. In addition, the credits offered by ZEROCO2 are recorded in APX and TZ1 public registers, which ensures a participant that his or her credits will only be bought and sold once. | |
| Prices that defy the competition | |
| ZEROCO2 has developed international alliances that allow it to offer the highest quality carbon credits, certified by Gold Standard and VCS at prices that are lower than other organizations presently involved in the voluntary offset market. As well, its strong buying power, greater than that of other groups offering similar alternatives, lets it offer very competitive prices. | |
| World class expertise | |
| ZEROCO2 has surrounded itself with a group of carbon market experts and the most specialized resources for promoting positive environmental actions. ZEROCO2 possesses a unique know-how that allows it to certify its actions in a legal, technological and scientific manner. | |
| Make a tangible gesture. Offset your CO2 emissions today! | |
