Regenerative Carbon Removal Projects Through Carbon Farming
Certified carbon credits generated in Italy by new olive groves in the Mediterranean: a concrete project for agricultural and land regeneration for companies seeking to offset their emissions.
The first model that combines COâ‚‚ sequestration, regenerative agriculture, and support for small Italian farmers.
We support farmers in regenerating their land affected by Xylella, generating carbon credits through a process certified by RINA in accordance with ISO 14064-2 and verified ex post by independent VVBs.
The sequestered carbon is monitored and quantified using specific methodologies and recorded on the blockchain.
Let's revitalize the Salento region to restore its ecological value as well
The spread of Xylella has destroyed millions of olive trees in Salento, leaving entire regions stripped of their agricultural and ecological functions.
Farmers who have seen decades of hard work vanish are abandoning their land, since reinvesting in new olive trees means waiting at least 10 years before seeing any results.
Our carbon credits were created to support these farmers: to offer them financial support from the very beginning, thanks to the climate benefits generated by their work.
From the Field to Carbon Credits
Our carbon offset projects adhere to strict international standards and use the Carborea registry.
New olive groves
We plant new olive groves on land affected by Xylella, contributing to the agricultural regeneration of the region.
Growth and Carbon Uptake
Throughout their life cycle, olive trees absorb COâ‚‚ from the atmosphere through natural growth processes.
Verification, Monitoring, and Quantification
Sequestered carbon is monitored and quantified through on-site audits and methodologies based on ISO 14064-2, VERRA, and CDM.
Certification
The climate benefits generated by the project are verified and certified according to Carborea’s TCR standard, which has been validated by RINA.
Issuance of Carbon Credits
The climate value generated is converted into carbon credits. The credits are recorded in a public blockchain-based registry and become available for use by companies.
Why Our Carbon Credits Are Different
Many of the carbon credits available on the market come from projects located in remote areas that are difficult to verify.
Our model, however, is based on a different approach: generating climate value through certified, tangible local agricultural projects that address the Xylella problem and can be visited in the Mediterranean.
Agricultural Regeneration
The credits come from new agricultural plantings that are revitalizing areas affected by Xylella.
Social Impact
The project involves small-scale local farmers, helping to support the rural economy and the Italian olive industry.
Geographical proximity
A European climate project, rooted in Italy.
Transparency
Companies can meet the farmers and visit the project that generates the credits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Carbon credits are units that certify the removal or reduction of one metric ton of COâ‚‚ equivalent from the atmosphere. Companies can use them to offset a portion of their residual emissions that are difficult to eliminate (Scope 1 and Scope 2).
Our carbon credits are generated through nature-based projects stemming from new olive groves planted in the Salento region. As the trees grow, they absorb COâ‚‚ from the atmosphere, and the sequestered carbon is quantified and certified using specific methodologies. This helps recognize the work of farmers, incentivizing them to regenerate their land, which would otherwise have been abandoned.
Yes. The projects follow validated methodologies and independent verification processes to ensure the credibility of the climate benefits generated by agricultural regeneration initiatives. We use Carborea’s TCR methodology, validated by RINA in accordance with ISO 14064-2.
Carbon credits generated by Italian or European projects offer greater traceability, transparency, and a connection to the local community. They also allow companies to support climate initiatives in their own geographic area.
Companies can integrate carbon credits into their sustainability initiatives and decarbonization strategies, helping to offset residual emissions and support concrete environmental projects.
