Carbon emissions
What is the problem with carbon emissions?
CO2, or carbon, is a greenhouse gas that naturally occurs in the atmosphere. Along with other greenhouse gases, CO2 helps retain the sun's heat, making life on earth possible. However, scientists have determined that the amount of CO2 in the air is increasing. This rise is mainly due to the burning of oil and gas and the production of fertilizers. Higher carbon emissions contribute to global warming.
Projects
What are sustainability projects?
Climate projects contribute to a better living environment. Ecommit collaborates with projects both domestically and internationally that offset carbon emissions. These projects use technology, agriculture, reforestation, and other innovative methods to remove carbon from the air. Before we invest in a project, we conduct thorough research. The project must be certified, and the carbon credits must be registered. This ensures that we provide your company with a reliable and effective way to offset carbon emissions.
Social responsibility
What are the benefits of more sustainable business practices?
A sustainability policy offers your organization numerous advantages. First and foremost, you contribute to solutions for climate issues. There are already many environmental standards and regulations, and these will only increase in the future. Suppliers and partners increasingly expect companies to commit to sustainability. Responsible business practices also lead to engaged employees and attract new talent. Additionally, a strong corporate reputation helps you attract and retain customers.
Careful procurement process
We conduct thorough research before investing in a project. Our procurement team follows a structured procedure. Initially, we assess the project's effectiveness in carbon reduction and/or removal. Next, we evaluate its reliability, considering factors such as the organization behind the project, the country, existing certifications, and numerous other criteria. Once all criteria are met, we finalize the legal matters and purchase a large number of carbon credits. We then offer these carbon credits to companies in any quantity required.

The projects we work with are located both in the Netherlands and abroad. Here are some of the various projects:
Paulownia Plantations Croatia
This ambitious project in Croatia focuses on the Anna Paulowna tree (Paulownia), a species known for its exceptional carbon absorption capabilities.

In the Mayan language Tzeltal, Scolel’te means 'the tree that grows'. This wonderful project in Mexico utilizes reforestation and agroforestry.
Paulownia Bos Deest
This innovative project in Deest, Netherlands, uses Paulownia trees, which are known for their exceptional carbon absorption capabilities.
Temporarily sold out
Blijvend Grasland
Blijvend Grasland is a collection of excellent projects in the Netherlands. These projects use grasslands to store carbon in the soil.

Frequently asked questions about using carbon credits
Climate projects ensure that CO2 is removed from the air or that less CO2 is released into the air. This is achieved through agriculture, forestry, or reforestation, among other things. A project must meet strict requirements, and independent organizations validate and verify the compensation according to internationally recognized standards. Only after verification can carbon credits be issued by the project organization. During the project's lifetime, checks are carried out to ensure that the targets are being met and that carbon absorption has actually taken place.
Ecommit conducts thorough research before investing in climate projects. Our procurement team assesses the effectiveness of each project's carbon offsetting approach and evaluates reliability. We consider factors such as project location, organization credibility, certifications, and numerous other criteria. Once all criteria are met, we finalize legal matters and buy a large quantity of carbon credits.
There are both natural and technological methods to remove carbon. Examples of natural ways include: restoration of wetlands and peatlands; deployment of cropland, grassland and agroforestry; (re)forestation and blue carbon management. Technological ways include: producing biochar and bio-oil; increasing ocean alkalinity; enhanced rock wethering; BECCS (Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage); Direct Ocean Capture and Direct Air Capture and storage.
There are various ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere. What works in which location depends on many factors, such as land area, soil conditions, climate, legislation, and technological developments. In the Netherlands, agroforestry, grassland, seaweed, oysters, and the seabed (collectively known as blue ocean) are natural methods for removing and storing carbon. Removing carbon from the air using machines (Direct Air Capture) is also possible here.
When you purchase carbon credits from ecommit, we register the carbon credits in your company's name. The moment you purchase carbon credits does not have to be the same moment you use them. The act of actually using your carbon credits is called retiring. When you retire your carbon credits (now or in the future), the carbon removal is attributed to your company. Once retired, carbon credits can no longer be used or sold.
