Leading in nature-based carbon sinks in Swedish forests

Carbon Capture Company is a certification body aimed at contributing to Sweden and Europe reaching their climate goals. We help secure and enhance the carbon sink in Swedish forests by quality-assuring and issuing carbon credits from climate projects run by Swedish forest owners.

High-quality data

We use existing open high-quality forest data from the National Forest Inventory, together with forest owners’ digital forest management plans, to enable accurate and cost-effective calculations.

Active forest management

Do you, as a forest owner, want to explore new sources of income beyond sawlogs and pulpwood? Do you want to continue managing your forest actively while increasing the timber stock for strategic reasons? If so, we can certify the increase in timber stock for climate benefits and convert it into carbon credits

Co-benefits

In addition to carbon storage, active forestry provides renewable forest raw materials for the emerging bioeconomy, supports rich animal and plant life, offers recreational value, and creates jobs across the country.

Carbon Forestry Standard – Sweden

To translate forest carbon sinks into credible carbon credits, a system is required that ensures the climate benefit is real, measurable, and traceable over time. It is not only about calculating how much carbon dioxide is absorbed by the forest, but also about demonstrating that the uptake is additional, that storage is monitored, and that the risk of reversal is managed in a transparent way.

For this reason, Carbon Capture Company has developed Carbon Forestry Standard – Sweden – a data-driven and cost-effective standard for certifying carbon sequestration in Swedish forests. The standard sets requirements for, among other things, additionality, baseline determination, quantification, monitoring, verification, long-term storage, risk management, and traceable registration of issued carbon credits.

The standard is developed to align with the quality requirements of the EU regulation on the certification of carbon removals and carbon farming, Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming Regulation (CRCF).
