Frequently asked

Are there participation criteria to be able to do a project with Pina Earth?

In order to implement a joint climate protection project with Pina Earth, the following criteria must be met:

1. It is a private or corporate forest.
2The project area meets the minimum size for the respective project type (nature reserves: 100 ha, forest conversion: 150 ha, improved forest management: 500 ha)
3. You have the rights to implement measures on the forest area and to control the use of the wood resources (e.g. because you own or contractually manage the forest).
4. The people involved have the experience and knowledge to successfully implement the planned measures (e.g. through training or relevant professional experience).
5. The climate protection benefit of your project may only be credited once.
6. the project area is located in a European country.
7. for conversion projects, the initial state of the forest should be predominantly pine or spruce (>70% share)

Is there enough demand for CO₂ certificates? Who are the buyers?

The voluntary emissions market in which Pina Earth operates is currently growing strongly. The demand for regional carbon credits in particular is rising continuously. In order to achieve the best possible price for your credits, Pina Earth has a network of various market participants such as leading sustainability consultancies, platforms and end customers. Our end customers are sustainability-oriented companies that support climate protection projects to achieve their sustainability goals.

What measures are recommended in a climate protection project?

The measures depend on the project type.

1. forest conversion: Measures can include natural regeneration, planting different tree species and protection against damage caused by game.
2. improved forest management (IFM): Typical measures are based on forestry law guidelines and PEFC standards.
3. nature reserves: The focus here is on external use. If measures are implemented, then only trail maintenance and associated interventions.

When will I receive the first payments from the sale of CO₂ certificates?

You will receive income as soon as the first CO₂ certificates from your project have been sold. Once the project has been launched and validated, the certificates are offered to interested buyers. In a joint meeting, we will discuss in advance how and when payments will be made so that you know exactly what you can expect.

Can I combine the project with state funding programs?

In principle, it is possible to combine the service with state subsidy programs. Pina Earth offers a service that does not conflict with such subsidies. It is important to prove in the certification process that the project costs exceed the income (including any subsidies).
