A certified climate project combined with additional commitment
This combined project contributes to the financing of a certified climate project and additionally supports compost build-up in Germany. For every tonne of CO2 saved through the contribution via a certified climate project, 250 kg of CO2 are reduced through a compost build-up project. Compost soils store much more carbon than above-ground plants and have better fertility and structure.
Currently, compost build-up in Germany is combined with a certified wind energy project in South Africa (climatepartner.com/1515).


Our additional commitment: CO2 sequestration through compost build-up
With our combined project, we combine verified emission reductions through a certified climate project with additional commitment. Revitalised, fertile soils are the basis for healthy food and clean groundwater. They form the foundation of life for us humans and for many species of flora and fauna. Our goal is to make our soils more fertile again naturally by building up compost. More and more farms are continuously taking part in our programme.
With the build-up of compost, CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and absorbed by the soil. Our soils are therefore one of the most powerful natural CO2 stores. The compost content is regularly measured and documented. The participating farmers receive extensive support and guarantee long-term CO2 storage. The project contributes to agricultural development and to increasing biodiversity within agriculture. The certified climate project is registered with international standards.
