Why CO₂ certificates?
CO₂ certificates are a central component of modern climate protection strategies and offer companies the opportunity to actively invest in climate protection projects. They complement measures to directly reduce emissions and make it possible to offset unavoidable emissions.
Regeneration
CO₂ certificates enable companies to finance climate protection projects that also promote important additional benefits. For example, companies can make a regional or global contribution to the regeneration of the environment.
Reporting
The purchase of CO₂ certificates demonstrates a company's commitment to climate protection and can be used to offset unavoidable emissions. These investments can be highlighted in the sustainability report and improve the ESG rating, making companies more attractive to investors and other stakeholders.
Risk avoidance
New EU directives on sustainability reporting and communication are increasing the pressure on companies to formulate clear sustainability goals and communicate their progress transparently. Our experts will help you to report CO₂ certificates correctly and avoid risks in communication.

Soil carbon sequestration
Carbon offsetting in your region
Klim is a project developer for climate protection projects and a provider of CO₂ certificates from Germany.
We support and advise farmers in implementing regenerative practices that sequester carbon in the soil and remove CO₂ emissions from the atmosphere.
Companies can promote this conversion to build soil carbon, soil health and biodiversity in the region by purchasing CO₂ certificates. We would be happy to advise you on integrating CO₂ certificates into your sustainability strategy.

Regenerative practices bring many benefits
Carbon capture
Healthy soil acts as a "carbon sponge" that stores CO₂ from the atmosphere in the soil.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity in the soil supports and increases ecosystem resilience.
Water availability
Porous soils retain water, protecting crops from extreme weather.

Two types of carbon credits for companies
Companies can buy carbon credits to remove and reduce CO₂.
Distance
Klim Removal Credits
These carbon credits are generated by sequestering carbon in the soil .Farmers introduce improved crop rotations and use organic fertilizers.
Reduction
Klim Reduction Credits
These carbon credits are generated during the cultivation of agricultural fields . Farmers reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers, minimize the use of pesticides and reduce intensive tillage.
Klims carbon credits registry
Both credits are:
TÜV-validated according to DIN ISO 14064.2
Certification by TÜV in accordance with DIN ISO 14064.2 ensures that our project complies with international standards for quantifying and reporting emission reductions.
Aligned with Verra VCS VM0042
Klim's project is now listed as "under development" in the VCS registry for method validation under Verra's VCS VM0042 (project number: 3645).
Type: Ex post
Refers to carbon credits issued after emission reductions have been achieved and verified.
Vintage: 2023
Indicates the year in which the emission reductions were achieved.
Suitable for offsetting
Use of carbon credits to offset an organization's unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions.
Suitable for CSRD reporting
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an EU regulation that obliges companies to report on their sustainability and environmental impact.
We will be happy to advise you on the differences and advantages of our carbon credits.

Our tips
Your guide to make the best decision
The difference between offsetting and contribution
Offsetting
Offsetting describes investments in projects that reduce or avoid a corresponding amount of emissions elsewhere. These could be activities such as regenerative agriculture, reforestation, renewable energy or carbon capture and storage.
The mechanism behind offsetting is to "offset" emissions that could not be avoided. For example, if a company emits 1,000 tons of CO₂ per year, it could invest in a project that binds or prevents 1,000 tons of CO₂ elsewhere.

Contribution
Here, companies support environmental projects without claiming to neutralise emissions. The focus is on the positive impact of the supported project, regardless of whether it directly offsets the company's own emissions.
Klim offers both offsetting and support services.

Mandatory emissions trading (compliance) vs. voluntary carbon market (voluntary)
Compliance markets
Mandatory emissions trading is designed to help countries, companies and other entities meet legally binding greenhouse gas reduction targets set out in national or international agreements.
These markets are regulated by government agencies or international organizations, such as the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), the California cap-and-trade program and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) in the US.
Compliance markets require actors to hold and retire a certain amount of carbon credits. They are supposed to offset their emissions in order to meet national commitments under the UN Paris Agreement.

Compliance markets require actors to hold and retire a certain amount of carbon credits. They are supposed to offset their emissions in order to meet national commitments under the UN Paris Agreement.
Voluntary markets
The voluntary carbon market enables companies, organizations and individuals to offset their emissions on a voluntary basis, rather than on the basis of legal requirements. These markets are used by actors who want to strengthen their responsibility or achieve sustainability goals.
Voluntary markets are based on various standards and certification programs, including the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and TÜV certifications, which ensure the credibility and quality of carbon credits.
Klim operates in the voluntary market and offers high-qualit carbon credits from regenerative agriculture. They are audited by TÜV Rheinland in accordance with DIN ISO 14064.2, are listed in the VCS register for validation of the methodology and are registered in the GHG CleanProjects Registry.

Investments in carbon credits are diverse:
Annual need for climate financing
In order to prevent the worst effects of climate change, annual climate financing must be increased at least fivefold as quickly as possible. Significantly higher private investment in climate protection is needed to effectively reduce the business risks associated with the climate crisis.
Targets for carbon removal
To achieve the 1.5 degree target, we need to sustainably remove 7 to 9 billion tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere every year by the middle of the century. We currently only remove 2 billion tons annually, mainly through conventional, nature-based methods such as reforestation.
Investing in nature-based solutions
Despite the crucial role of nature in climate protection, investment in its protection falls far short of the amount needed. The United Nations reports that 154 billion US dollars are invested annually in nature-based solutions - less than half the amount needed. Furthermore, only 15 percent of these funds come from the private sector. Without a significant increase in investment, achieving the 2-degree target, let alone the 1.5-degree target, will be impossible.
Building a portfolio with carbon credits
Some carbon credits on the voluntary carbon market are in particularly high demand. Carbon credits, which play a crucial role in achieving climate targets, may not be available in the required quantities in the coming years. This has a significant impact on companies that want to offset their unavoidable emissions.
In view of these developments, it is necessary to diversify the portfolio and support different types of projects:
Plan portfolios for 3-5 years:
Develop strategies that take into account future requirements and market conditions to ensure your portfolio remains relevant and effective over time.
Buy a mix of carbon credits:
Integrates a variety of certificates with different technologies, verifications and additional benefits. This approach contributes to risk diversification and improves the overall quality of the portfolio.
Build flexibility into the portfolio:
Allow for possible adjustments and updates to benefit from future innovative projects and new technologies.
