Northzone's climate compensation

Maximizing long-term co2 removal
Driving impact
At Northzone we believe that our role and responsibility in the climate challenge goes far beyond "neutrality". We always look for disruptors truly changing how things are done and we should do so also when we compensate for our own carbon emissions. We have chosen to apply an internal carbon fee (100USD/tonne for Scope 1 & 2, 10 USD/tonne for Scope 3) and annually support the Milkywire Climate transformation fund with this donation. We do so because we believe that our carbon compensation should be linked to creating maximum climate impact. Further, we believe that collaboration and innovation are key to solving the climate crisis. This setting allows us to support and track the results of catalytic research in new reduction and removal techniques and to engage in collaboration across the tech & impact ecosystems.

Durable carbon removal (CDR)
Karbonetiq
United States
Karbonetiq mineralizes CO₂ by carbonating alkaline industrial byproducts, such as steel slag, through a passive aeration process that is co-located with existing industrial activities. They are working closely with operational partners to establish low-cost, scalable, and quantifiable CDR projects that valorize industrial wastes and contribute to decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors globally.

Beyond Zero Emissions
Australia
Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE) is an independent think-tank working on net zero pathways for Australia, highlighting how the green transition benefits the economy. The CTF provides core support to BZE to strengthen its organisational capacity, research, and advocacy work.
Nature protection and restoration
Plant with Purpose
Tanzania
Plant With Purpose is a non-profit organisation that works with rural communities, implementing initiatives related to nature restoration and regenerative agricultural practices along watersheds, to improve crop yields, to bolster food sovereignty, and to improve water quality and access. They do it while empowering communities to find a path to self-sufficiency and resilience through so-called community Purpose Groups.
