Determining the Number of Trees to Purchase
Calculating emissions can be a complex task, with various tools providing different results. According to the demographics of our target donors, the average person emits 7 tons of CO2 per year. Our forestry partner has found that two trees can capture 1 ton of CO2 over a 15-20 year growth period. To fully offset one person's emissions, 14 trees would be needed.
It's up to your business to decide how to contribute to tree planting and support the ecosystem. You can choose to offset the emissions of all your employees, donate a percentage of all sales towards tree planting, or explore other ways to engage your business in offsetting emissions.
The Mighty Giant Lira
Better Globe Forestry (BGF), our forestry partner, launched its farmers program and began planting the Giant Lira in the Dokola district in Northern Uganda in 2018. The Giant Lira is BGF's flagship species, and two million trees were planted in just the first four years. The species grows quickly and produces high-quality timber in just 15 years, enabling Trees4CO2 to offer a full payout to businesses that buy trees from us while offsetting their carbon emissions during the growth period. Dokolo and surrounding districts are ideal for tree planting, as the area was once covered by rainforest before being destroyed during colonial times for cotton farming (which ultimately failed). The flat topography facilitates harvesting and transportation, reducing stress on logistics.
Combining Carbon Offset and Social Empowerment
Our forestry partner, Better Globe Forestry, takes a unique approach to forestry by combining tree planting with agroforestry and supporting farmers in Northern Uganda. BGF's mission to alleviate poverty has driven them to go above and beyond traditional forestry practices, creating a new concept that prioritizes landscape restoration, food security, and farmer empowerment. By working with BGF through Trees4CO2, businesses can not only offset their carbon emissions but also contribute to a positive social impact in local communities.

Trees4CO2 offers a final payout to our buying customers. When the trees are harvested (after 15 - max 20 years), we will pay out the initial purchase amount adjusted for the price consumption index for the period. (The Norwegian Price Index by SSB). *This applies only to purchases.
Trees4CO2 is your Norwegian partner in the CO2 capture process. All aspects will be organized and handled by us in the relation to our customers. We have a well-established partner in Africa with 20 years’ experience. Our partner has a highly experienced organization with management from Belgium/Africa. Better Globe Forestry has so far planted 3.6 million trees.
The trees are planted mainly in Kenya and Uganda.
A significant majority of our trees are planted in what is described as dryland (uncultivated land). This is semi-arid and arid territory.
It varies depending on where the trees are planted. In Uganda, the trees are harvested after 15 years. In Kenya, the trees are harvested after 16-20 years.
Mahogany trees planted in Kenya are developed and cultivated to become significant and powerful absorbers of carbon emissions. The tree planting is directed by our partner Better Globe Forestry and helps to restore ecosystems, biodiversity, as well as the crucial conversion of dryland to cultivated land.
