The issue acknowledged above is a significant and pressing concern for society. It is one of the most pressing problems we have faced as a civilisation. The earth is no longer able to support us due to our actions, and it is sending us warning signals through various means. However, we continue to pollute and damage the earth, and even attempt to offset our pollution through carbon credits that may actually contribute to further harm. Immediate and drastic policy changes are necessary in order to address this issue.
At Carbify, we believe it's important to do our part in taking care of the earth and its sustainability. That's why we're dedicated to investing in eco-friendly, biodiverse, and world-healing projects, such as planting trees. And to ensure that our decisions are guided by experts, we work with ecologists rather than politicians or profit-driven entrepreneurs. Additionally, we're committed to educating the public and helping those in need through initiatives like feeding the underprivileged.

Co-Founder
Blockchain & gaming enthusiast, involved in a variety of projects. Ancient pro gamer, loves The Legend of Zelda. Previously held the position of COO at Vulcan Forged.
Carbify was founded in The Netherlands, and we are proud to call it home. As founders, it's great to be able to communicate and collaborate in person. Our office is located in Zwolle and we meet here on a regular basis to discuss face-2-face.
However, we are a globally distributed team and are committed to diversity and inclusion.
The main difference between Carbify and other carbon offset providers is our transparency and the assurance that our offsets are based on additionality. Moreover, the CO2 has already been absorbed, unlike most offset projects that promise future absorption. Carbify also stands out through our planting projects. We collaborate with local communities, providing them with work opportunities and allowing them to literally harvest and keep the fruits, nuts, and seeds. Positive social impact, food security, and education are crucial elements in all our planting projects.
An agroforestry system combines agriculture and forestry practices, integrating trees and shrubs with crops and sometimes livestock. This approach enhances biodiversity, improves soil health, manages water, sequesters carbon, and provides habitat for wildlife. Agroforestry also yields products like fruits, nuts and medicinal plants, boosting economic and food security for local communities.
A carbon debit, created by Carbify and certified by the Global Carbon Standard and UNFCCC, represents the highest quality of carbon offsets in the world. Utilizing blockchain technology to prevent fraud and increase transparency, this unique carbon debit ensures trust and effective CO2 reduction. Unlike most offsets, the CO2 has already been absorbed, setting a new benchmark in the carbon offset market.
In addition to an officially recognized CO2 offset certificate, you will receive a login for the Carbify business portal as a customer. There, you can see the impact your purchase has generated in areas such as climate, social impact, food security, and job creation.
A public page for your company will be created, making it clear to your partners and customers the steps you have taken regarding the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations. This page can be used for marketing purposes.
Trees, planted within agroforestry systems, will gradually generate carbon debits over a period of 20 years. In contrast, buying carbon debits provides an ‘instant’ offset. Companies in need of immediate carbon compensation typically opt for carbon debits, as trees won’t provide sufficient offset within the first few years. Planting trees is well-understood and highly appreciated by the general public, making it an excellent choice for companies looking to contribute to the climate in various ways. It also offers a small carbon offset advantage over a longer period.
When a user buys a tree, two geo-locations (representing two trees) will be allocated from the list of already planted trees. The first location is assigned to the buyer, and the second tree will be assigned to a ‘reserve’ or ‘backup’ group, ensuring a 100% backup for all planted trees. If a tree dies, it will be replanted, and a tree from the reserve group will replace it. This process is monitored using biomass satellites.
The Carbify business portal offers detailed data about purchased offsets and planted trees. This data can be used for ESG accounting purposes. A public page displays various metrics such as offsets achieved, social impact generated, food produced, and jobs created. Customers can choose to share this positive data with their own customers and partners.
When data is stored on the blockchain, it becomes immutable, meaning it cannot be tampered with. Additionally, this data is publicly accessible 24/7. Blockchain technology prevents issues like double counting and double spending, which are common problems with carbon credits, as many companies still rely on Excel sheets and in-house staff to track everything. This method is not trustworthy. A CO2 ledger on the blockchain represents the ultimate form of transparency and is far more reliable than other forms of record-keeping.
All trees planted by Carbify will remain for a minimum of 25 to 30 years. After this period, fruit trees and plants may be replaced, but the hardwood trees must remain standing. Carbon debits are only issued for up to 20 years. After this period, all benefits go entirely to nature.
