Offsetting Emissions, Amplifying Impact: Carbon Offsetting startups

In order to achieve their climate targets, many companies will not be able to avoid offsetting Scope 3 (residual) emissions, i.e. investing (via carbon credits) in climate protection projects that are not located where the emissions originate. That's why our investment manager Melanie Beyersdorf takes a look at carbonoffsetting startups.

Disclaimer: We acknowledge that offsetting is frequently utilized as a method of greenwashing and is only effective when combined with efforts to reduce and avoid carbon emissions.

Our carbon startup map

For this map, we divided the startups into five main categories:

1. facilitators and platforms

2. automated offsetting

3. traceability to rating

4. tokenization/ digital currency

5. financial solutions

Within the sector of facilitators and platforms, we examined regenerative agriculture as well as forestry.
