To make sure your efforts are actually supporting our overall goal, to balance our CO2, we asked the University of Poznan to develop a calculation of the average binding of CO2 in our forests and average production of Oxygen. They have come up with a formula that basically mean that 1 hectare of forest binds 10,2 tonnes CO2 , this equals the sum that 1 m2 binds 1 kg CO2 The exact formula is::
“Based on integrated, global data on carbon sequestration by all areas classified as forests, it can be estimated that each year, these ecosystems bind about 0.87 Mg C ha-1 (tones per hectare), which in terms of carbon dioxide gives 3.19 Mg CO2 ha-1. At the same time, forest areas produced as much as 2.32 Mg of oxygen (Mg O2 ha-1 ).”
The certificated ecobal products by the University of Poznan (certificate on the right) are based on an extensive study. If you want to read the details of the study, please contact us here.
The EU is making organisations liable for their carbon footprint. At Ecobal we believe in social responsibility and help our customers to achieve their sustainability goals. Through our CO2 calculator you can get a first impression of your CO2 use. Based on that you can start taking action into your own hands. Either by supporting a tree, or preserving a plot or compensate you CO2.
When you join Ecobal and get involved through either Ecobal units, ECO2’s, Plant – a – Tree or otherwise, you will get a certificate that proofs that the plot you put your name on is actually yours and only yours. We provide PDF certificates stating the exact amount of forest plots under your patronage and inform you on your CO2 emissions.
We fully cooperate with local forest authorities and make sure Ecobal forests are under the constant care. Be proud of your company and yourself and show others your Ecobal certificate – let’s plant more trees, shall we?
The services of Ecobal keep developing. We add new forests you might be interested in, get certification standardized, new board members or other news. By subscribing to this newsletter, you will get regular, but not too many, updates on our activities. You can always opt out with each mail.
