Timber Carbon

Technology

The AI platform for carbon removals in buildings

Carbon is captured in the forest and locked into the building long-term. Our AI-powered MRV quantifies this climate performance, has it verified and turns it into a tradable asset that feeds into the economics of a construction project.

The digital ecosystem

The first AI-powered platform for carbon removal in buildings

We capture, verify and monetise the carbon a building removes. Our AI-powered MRV is the only certified, end-to-end digital pipeline for biobased construction in Europe, under a leading European registry (ICROA-, ICVCM- and EU-CRCF-aligned).

What makes us unique?

We have been working on the methodology since 2021 and are the first to measure the carbon locked in a building's timber load-bearing structure and turn it into credits at country level. This creates a new, robust argument for timber buildings and a lever to decarbonise the entire building sector.

What is a Timber Carbon Removal Credit?

A Timber Carbon Removal Credit (TCRC) represents one tonne of CO₂ locked long-term in a building's load-bearing structure. Verified, traceable and issued only after completion.

How we connect forest, building and the carbon market

Timber grows in sustainably managed forests, capturing carbon and locking it into the building. At the core is structural timber, built into the load-bearing structure, which locks this carbon away for decades to centuries. We make exactly this climate performance measurable and turn it into a value that makes building with timber and other biogenic materials more attractive.

One cubic metre. One tonne.

Every cubic metre of installed timber removes around one tonne of CO₂.

the methodology

The methodology

Timber construction is a recognised carbon removal solution (IPCC, UNFCCC) and makes a valuable contribution to climate action. To meet the 2050 climate targets, around 7–10 gigatonnes of CO₂ must be removed from the atmosphere each year. Timber buildings can contribute up to around 6 %.

A credit is only worth as much as the accuracy behind it. Our quantification is based on recognised methodologies (ICROA, ICVCM, EU CRCF) and delivers high-quality credits. This makes a building's climate impact transparent and turns it into a robust, tradable value.

Five criteria for high-quality carbon removal credits:

Quantification

The gross carbon removed through timber is adjusted for the reference scenario (conventional construction / BAU) and for the project's own production and construction emissions (A1–A5). What remains is the conservatively calculated net carbon removal, and exactly this yields the removal credits. (Quantified to ISO 14064-2, EPD-based.)

Beyond the tonne

01

Substitution

replacing concrete and steel avoids additional emissions (strongest co-benefit).

02

Forest protection

zero deforestation, sustainable forest management, full chain of custody.

03

Healthy buildings

better indoor climate, biophilic design, healthier use.

04

Regional value creation

supports DACH sawmills, CLT plants and jobs.

05

Urban sustainability

greening, fewer heat islands, contribution to urban climate targets.

06

Circular economy

renewable, reusable, with a defined end-of-life pathway.

Quality

Verification & trust

A credit is only as credible as its review. That's why every project is independently verified and tracked end-to-end in the registry, embedded in the leading international climate standards.

United Nations building exterior

Independent verification

Validation and recurring monitoring audits by accredited verification bodies (VVBs). Credits are issued only after completion and material verification (ex post). This ensures high delivery reliability.

Public traceability

All Project Design Documents (PDDs) are publicly available in the registry (public project database), including the independent verification statement.

Reversal safeguarded

A storage-duration label per building and a buffer pool address reversal risks transparently.

We currently work with the Rainbow Standard: ICVCM-approved (Core Carbon Principles), meets the ICROA requirements and is aligned with the EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF, from 2027). The methodology combines engineering practice with science and meets the highest credit-quality requirements.
