7. Grow your own carbon units

Why grow your own units?

There are an increasing number of estate owners or companies who own land and are considering 'growing their own' carbon units by creating woodland to compensate for greenhouse gas emissions elsewhere on their land holding or business.

Getting their project validated and verified to the Woodland Carbon Code quantifies the benefit of this woodland creation and provides carbon units to compensate for the estate/business's wider emissions as they grow.

Carbon units can only be used once. If you use them against your own emissions, you can't sell them to a third party. It is possible to use a proportion and sell a proportion of the units generated.

Companies/ landowners who are 'growing their own'

These companies own land and have invested in a woodland creation project to generate their own supply of carbon units to use against their emissions in future.
