Carbon balancing - be that carbon capture or carbon offsetting does more than just remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Both provide a huge range of other benefits.

Carbon capturing, which, with Tree-V, sees the planting of new woodland here in the UKs brings the following benefits;

  • habitat creation, 
  • biodiversity support, 
  • flood mitigation, 
  • river ecosystem improvement  and 
  • Improves public access to nature

 

Carbon offsetting, which ensures the protection and maintenance of overseas forestry brings a wealth of other benefits to society. This includes;

  • help with economic growth, 
  • clean water and sanitation improvement 
  • and gender equality
