Big news! Easy Housing has now officially certified its first 100 carbon removal units (CRU = 1 tonne of net CO2 removal) on Oncra (Climate Cleanup carbon removal registry). This is a unique achievement! We are the first biobased builder in the world that have officially quantified and certified its carbon removal realised; with our timber homes in Uganda. 💚Help out! We are now selling these first 100 CRUs as a limited edition for only EUR 50 per removal unit. Will you help us to increase our impact and exposure? You can buy credits yourself or link us to institutional buyers! Reach out on carbon@easyhousing.org - you can buy the CRUs to compensate your own impact or just to support us in our mission! Or give it away as a Christmas gift! Or just sharing this news. :) 💚Project The removal was realised in the first 10 Easy Housing projects in Uganda. These homes have been built and completed and have together stored 109 CRUs (of which 100 are still available). Next to that, these projects have sustained over 10 football fields of forests, created over 100 green jobs, and avoided an estimated additional 80 tonnes of CO2 by not using cement or steel. Find our CRUs on ONCRA: https://lnkd.in/e-W_GnM5 💚 Methodology The CSC methodology was developed by Climate Cleanup over the past year in close collaboration with Easy Housing and with support from Built By Nature. 💚 Ethical Framework and transparency. ONCRA holds strict ethical standards for buyers. Institutional buyers are only allowed to buy credits if they show they are also reducing internal emissions. Furthermore, the entire methodology is fully transparent and relies on hard quantifiable and verifiable data. All of this can be found here: 💚Removal vs reduction There is an important difference between reduction credits (majority on voluntary market) and actual removal units. For every CRU - an actual tonne of CO2 has been effectively removed from the atmosphere and stored for long term in our biobased structures.
