Methods for CO₂ removalAfforestation, reforestation, improved forestry
About the method
Afforestation, reforestation and improved forest management enhance carbon storage in forest ecosystems. Through photosynthesis, growing trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere and store it in the wood of the trees, in dead wood and in the soil.
Afforestation involves planting new forests on non-forested land, reforestation involves restoring damaged forests, and improved forest management involves optimising carbon storage in existing forests. These methods also support biodiversity, water regulation and climate resilience.

"With the help of our unique AI-based software, we not only enable more efficient forest management, but also the transformation of forests into data-driven, local climate protection projects. These generate CDR credits of the highest quality and enable the conversion to climate-resilient mixed forests."
"Our method stores CO₂ in forests, counteracts climate change and strengthens biodiversity. By working with forest owners and utilising data, we secure forests as CO₂ reservoirs. Tree.ly turns Europe's forests into real climate savers."
