Discover our diverse portfolio of carbon offset projects. We support you on your way to carbon neutrality with carefully selected projects. Together we create a sustainable future - trustworthy, effective and climate-friendly.
Meaningful climate protection projects do much more than just protect the climate; they have a real, positive impact on the lives of people in the project region.
There are different types of climate protection projects that can be used to offset or compensate for CO2 emissions. Some projects invest in emission savings through the increased use of renewable energy sources, others remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through reforestation and others avoid the emission of greenhouse gases in industrial processes. The projects also differ in terms of their scope.
There are smaller projects that take place at community level and larger ones that can encompass an entire industrial plant. The different types of projects have different advantages and disadvantages in terms of their potential for reducing greenhouse gases, but also in terms of the side effects they have, for example on biodiversity or the employment situation in the region. Climate protection projects must fulfil internationally recognised criteria and standards or be certified accordingly.
Climate protection projects to offset emissions should primarily take place in developing countries in order to promote sustainable development in the regions there, which helps to effectively limit the increase in emissions in advance.

Differences
The types of Climate protection projects
The decisive factor for a climate protection project is that it reduces the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere or binds existing ones.
Forest afforestation
Through targeted reforestation, we bind CO2 and promote biodiversity to make our planet greener.
Hydropower
Hydropower projects convert the energy of flowing water into renewable electricity and conserve valuable resources in the process.
Wind power
Our wind power projects utilise the power of the wind to generate clean energy and sustainably reduce CO2 emissions.
Solar energy
Solar systems utilise the power of the sun and provide environmentally friendly energy that helps to protect the climate in the long term.
Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency projects reduce consumption in companies and households, protect the environment and save costs.
Our portfolio
These are ourClimate protection projects
At natureOffice, we develop and promote effective climate protection projects worldwide. Our portfolio includes certified projects in the areas of forest protection, renewable energies and energy efficiency - customised for your CO2 compensation.
Forest conservation projects preserve valuable forests and bind CO2 in the long term. They protect habitats, promote biodiversity and make a significant contribution to global climate protection.
Renewable energy projects such as wind, solar and hydropower replace fossil fuels with clean energy sources to reduce emissions and accelerate the transition to a climate-friendly future.
Energy efficiency projects reduce energy consumption and increase resource utilisation - for example through improved cooking stoves or economical technologies - and thus contribute directly to reducing greenhouse gases.
Combined projects: Togo and Germany - your double commitment
With our combined projects, you offset your CO2 emissions through recognised climate protection projects, such as a solar energy project in India. In addition, for every tonne of CO2 you offset, you support either forest conservation in Germany or a project close to our heart in Togo. In this way, you combine climate protection with social commitment in Africa or the preservation of local forests and offer your stakeholders additional added value through sustainable action.
All projects are certified according to recognised standards such as the Gold Standard (GS) or the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and their climate impact is verified by independent audits.

Hydropower India
Teesta Low Dam Project, India: This hydropower plant on the Teesta River in West Bengal utilises hydropower for clean energy generation and supports the regional supply while significantly reducing CO2 emissions.
Wind energy India
Ruchi Soya wind power project, India: In the states of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, the project is installing Suzlon wind turbines with a capacity of 44.40 MW. It strengthens the green energy supply and enables old power plants to be shut down.
Solar energy India
Solar power plant in Rajasthan, India The solar power plant in Rajasthan, India, generates clean electricity and feeds it into the national grid, thereby avoiding around 694,471 tonnes of CO2e emissions per year. It creates jobs, promotes infrastructure and supports the reduction of fossil fuels and harmful emissions. The project serves as a model for further investments in clean technologies.
Solar energy Mauritania
Toujounine photovoltaic power plant, Mauritania Mauritania's largest solar power plant, Toujounine, generates 87 GWh per year and covers the electricity needs of 362,500 people. With 156,000 solar modules and an output of 50 MW, it made a decisive contribution to achieving the target of 20 % renewable energy in 2020.
Energy efficiency Clean drinking water
Dowa Boreholes, Malawi The Malawi Borehole Project repairs damaged boreholes in Dowa and Kasungu to give people access to clean drinking water again. This reduces the boiling of contaminated water and the use of firewood, which protects the environment. The project improves the local infrastructure, promotes clean technologies and supports solar-based power generation to reduce emissions.
Energy-efficient cooking ovens
Energy efficiency in Nigeria The project replaces conventional cookers in Nigeria with more efficient Toyola Coalpots, which reduce fuel consumption by 30%. This saves households money and improves health by reducing air pollution. It also promotes forest conservation as less charcoal is needed. Households in need can buy the stoves on credit and use the savings to pay them back.
Reforestation Uruguay
Reforestation in eastern Ur uguay The project in eastern Uruguay is planting 18,191 hectares of former pastureland with native trees such as eucalyptus and pine to stop soil erosion and promote sustainable timber production. Every year, 56,000 tonnes of CO2 are offset and the reforestation contributes to sustainable land development.
Togo and Germany plus combined projects
With our combined projects, you always offset your CO2 emissions with recognised climate protection projects, such as a solar energy project in India. In addition, for every tonne of CO2 you offset, you support either German forest conservation or our favourite project in Togo.
That is why it is important,to support climate protection projects
Sustainable development is promoted and emissions are reduced at the same time.
Targeted support in crisis regions
Climate change projects provide assistance where climate change is most evident, particularly in the Global South. These regions suffer from the consequences of climate change, which is primarily caused by industrialized nations.
Efficient investments with a high impact
In developing countries, climate protection measures can often be implemented more cost-effectively, which means that your investments have a greater impact.
Unique projects thanks to your support
The additionality of climate protection projects is crucial - without the revenue from certificates, they would be unthinkable.
EU compensation and the double counting problem
In the EU, all forests are recognised as CO2 sinks. Assigning binding rights to companies harbours the risk of double counting and undermines the integrity of climate protection measures.
Renewable energy projects
Renewable energy projects utilise natural resources such as sunlight, wind or water to generate clean and unlimited energy. They are important because they reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect the environment and help combat climate change. They also contribute to a sustainable and future-proof energy supply.
Reforestation projects are essential for binding CO2, promoting biodiversity and creating habitats for animals. They actively contribute to climate protection, improve air quality and help to renaturalise degraded land - an important step towards a sustainable future.
Energy efficiency projects make sense because they reduce energy consumption without compromising performance. This reduces CO2 emissions and energy costs at the same time. Companies and households benefit from the sustainable use of resources and make an important contribution to climate protection.
The CDM is a mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol, which is an international agreement to combat climate change. The purpose of the CDM is to promote the implementation of climate protection projects in developing countries by incentivising the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Projects that fulfil the CDM standard must meet strict criteria and promote sustainable development. The certified emission reduction units (CERs) generated can be traded on the international carbon market and serve as a measure to offset greenhouse gas emissions in industrialised countries.
The VCS is a voluntary standard for carbon offset projects managed by the non-profit organisation Verra. It aims to ensure high-quality and verified emission reductions by applying rigorous methods to measure, monitor and verify the reductions achieved. Projects that meet the VCS standard must undergo transparent reporting and independent verification to ensure the integrity of their results. The carbon credits generated can be traded on the voluntary carbon market and help companies and organisations to improve their carbon footprint.
The Gold Standard is a voluntary standard for climate protection projects that applies particularly strict criteria in terms of environmental and social compatibility and sustainable development. Projects that fulfil the Gold Standard must not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also offer additional benefits for local communities and the environment. These include, for example, measures to combat poverty, the promotion of renewable energies or the protection of ecosystems. Gold Standard certification enables projects to generate not only carbon credits but also additional benefits that can be traded on the sustainable development market.
