Questions about carbon credits & Regreener
Carbon Credits
How can I be sure the carbon credits aren't contributing to greenwashing?
All of our projects are carefully selected, based on five-step Quality Framework. Each project is vetted against 100+ data points, including assessments by independent rating agencies like BeZero and Calyx. This ensures we only offer the top 10% of climate projects globally - delivering measurable climate impact and meaningful social co-benefits.
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.
What makes Regreener different from other carbon credit suppliers?
Unlike traditional providers, Regreener assesses over 100 data points for every single project. This rigorous analysis allows us to handpick only the top 10% of impact projects worldwide.
Whether your focus is on regional impact, social benefits, or price we curate a custom portfolio of 3–5 high-impact projects from our elite pool-aligned with your priorities.
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. Examples are reforestation or biochar projects.
Why are nature projects more expensive than 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.
How do I know if a carbon credit is high-quality?
Look for certifications from trusted standards like Verra, Gold Standard, or Plan Vivo. High-quality credits are measurable, permanent, additional (wouldn’t happen without funding), and independently verified.
About Regreener
What does Regreener do?
Regreener helps European businesses buy high-integrity carbon credits and stand behind them. We combine curated, quantified quality vetting with advisory support, a Reporting and Communication Toolkit, and an impact platform. Credits are the core of what we do; the toolkit and platform exist to reduce the reporting and reputational risk that comes with them.
What makes Regreener different from other solutions?
A marketplace lists credits and leaves the judgement to you. A broker sells you a transaction. We are the judgement layer: we pre-vet projects against a documented framework, remove the ones that fail, and stand behind a shortlist you can defend. You get curation and evidence, not a catalogue.
Do carbon credits replace cutting our own emissions?
No, and we will not position them that way. Under the science-based targets framework, high-quality credits complement your own emissions reductions; they do not substitute for them and cannot be counted against your Scope 1, 2 or 3 targets. We help you use them for the emissions you cannot yet cut, and report them correctly.
How do you assess the quality of a carbon credit?
We score each project against more than 100 data points across five weighted domains: Carbon Impact, General Project Details, Co-benefits, Reporting and dMRV, and Compliance and Reputation. Each indicator is scored on a 0 to 5 scale, every score is traceable to a source document, and a project that fails a non-negotiable check is escalated or removed regardless of its overall score. The result is a single rating you can compare across projects and defend internally.
Can we defend these credits to finance, auditors and regulators?
That is what the framework is for. Each project arrives with a documented, source-referenced quality assessment, so procurement has vendor due diligence, finance has a justified decision, and your reporting rests on evidence rather than assertion. The platform keeps the audit trail ready before anyone asks for it.
What happens after we click "Get started"?
You tell us your goal, volume, budget, timeline and reporting needs, in a short intake form. After that, you get access to our platform with vetted projects or we schedule a conversation to discuss your needs.
