CO2 certificates from reduction and avoidance projects mean immediate and effective climate contributions on your path to net zero. They effectively complement your internal reduction pathway and support credible climate communication. To achieve this, myclimate offers high-quality, certified projects with SDG co-benefits.
By acquiring CO2 certificates from reduction and avoidance projects, companies finance measurable emissions reductions beyond their own value chain. This approach is referred to as “Ongoing Emissions Responsibility” (OER) or “Beyond Value Chain Mitigation” (BVCM). It acts as a complement to internal decarbonisation, which takes place over a longer period of time.
The projects are registered in accordance with high-quality international standards and, in addition to CO2 abatement, demonstrably achieve additional positive effects, such as for biodiversity and local development. Examples from the myclimate portfolio include projects relating to water treatment, the use of renewable energies and the introduction of sustainable waste management concepts.
These immediately effective projects are a key element of a credible BVCM strategy. myclimate curates all projects according to clear criteria pertaining to integrity, impact and quality, so that companies can make reliable and transparent statements in their climate communications.
Predictable immediate impact
Directly measurable CO2 savings are achieved via reduction and avoidance projects. This effect complements long-term reduction measures within the company, within the scope of OER/BVCM.
Industry-specific relevance
Different technologies and project types are used, which are adapted to regional conditions and industry requirements. This enables broad applicability and comparability.
Added benefits for people and the environment
In addition to CO₂ abatement, positive effects on biodiversity and social and economic development are achieved on the ground. Local communities benefit from improved living conditions and new prospects.
Highest standards and reliable MRV systems
The projects are registered in accordance with recognised standards and follow clear MRV processes (measurement, reporting, verification). This creates transparency and enables credible external communication.
