Questions about Regreener, Climate action & carbon credits
About Regreener
What does Regreener do?
Regreener helps companies reduce and remove their carbon emissions through reduction advice and and high-quality carbon credits. Our science-backed solutions simplify carbon management, while driving real climate impact.
What makes Regreener different from other solutions?
Regreener combines human expertise with the power of AI to help you reduce and offset your company carbon footprint. We focus on combining science with simplicity, because we believe taking climate action should be accessible and effective.
What is a carbon footprint strategy?
A carbon footprint strategy is a structured plan that helps businesses reduce and monitor their Scope 1-2-3 carbon emissions. It helps a business make real, long-term improvements in areas like energy use, mobility, purchasing, and operations.
Do carbon credits actually work?
They can, but only if used responsibly. High-quality, verified carbon credits support real, measurable climate projects. But they’re most effective when paired with serious internal reduction efforts, not used as a substitute for them.
What is a carbon credit?
A carbon credit is a tradable certificate that represents the removal or reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Companies, governments, and individuals can buy carbon credits to offset their own emissions, supporting projects like reforestation or the production of biochar.
Climate Action
What is the Greenhouse Gas Protocol?
The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol is the world’s leading framework for measuring and managing greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3, helping businesses accurately assess their carbon footprint. Widely adopted by sustainability standards such as CDP, CSRD, and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the GHG Protocol ensures consistency, transparency, and credibility in corporate climate reporting and emissions reduction strategies.

What is carbon reduction for companies?
CO2 reduction means lowering the greenhouse gas emissions caused by your company’s operations, energy use, travel, supply chain, and other activities. It’s about shrinking your carbon footprint through smarter choices, not just offsetting.
What are the costs of carbon reduction?
The cost depend on the measures you take. Some quick wins cost little or nothing (like changing behavior or improving planning). Others require investment, but often deliver savings through reduced energy use or less waste.
Is having a carbon reduction strategy mandatory?
Not all companies are required to report on emissions yet, but that doesn’t mean you should wait. Larger clients may soon require emissions reporting from suppliers. Taking action now puts you ahead of the curve - and avoids missed opportunities later.
What is the difference between reducing and offsetting carbon?
Reduction means cutting emissions at the source, through real operational changes.
Offsetting means compensating for emissions you haven’t eliminated yet, often by funding external projects like tree planting.
Reduction always comes first.
Carbon Credits
What’s the difference between voluntary and compliance carbon markets?
Compliance markets are regulated by governments (e.g., EU ETS) and apply to industries with binding emissions caps.
Voluntary markets let companies and individuals offset emissions on their own terms, typically for ESG goals or supply chain impact.
Why do carbon credit prices vary so much?
Prices depend on the project type, location, verification standard, and demand in the market.
What is the carbon credit price forecast for 2026?
In the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM), prices are seeing a "flight to quality." While generic avoidance credits may remain low (<$5), high-integrity nature-based removal credits are forecast to trade between $15 and $35 per ton, with tech-based removals (like Biochar and DAC) commanding premiums from $150 to over $500 per ton.

Does Regreener only offer very expensive projects?
While we do focus on high-quality, thoroughly vetted projects, we also offer more budget-friendly options. Price is an important factor-but it’s not the only one. We believe in balancing impact, quality, and affordability, so you can support projects that aligns with both your values and your budget.
Why are nature projects more expensive then others projects?
Nature-based projects-like reforestation, forest conservation, or mangrove restoration-are often more expensive than technology-based carbon offset projects because they involve complex, long-term ecological and social processes. These projects require large areas of land, continuous monitoring, and collaboration with local communities to ensure the protection and regeneration of ecosystems.
Additionally, nature projects often deliver extra benefits beyond carbon removal, such as biodiversity protection, water conservation, and improved livelihoods for local populations. These co-benefits add value but also increase the cost of project development, certification, and ongoing maintenance.
Why is there a price gap between voluntary and compliance carbon credits?
The price gap - roughly $20 (Voluntary) vs. $90+ (Compliance/EU) - exists because the markets serve different purposes. Compliance markets (like the EU ETS) are legally mandatory with a fixed supply cap that forces companies to buy, driving prices up. The Voluntary Market (VCM) has an uncapped supply of project developers, keeping prices lower. However, as the VCM tightens standards in 2026, we expect this gap to narrow slightly for high-quality removal credits that mimic compliance-grade integrity.
