Inhouse Carbon Removal
Inhouse carbon removal is the act of investing in your own verifiable carbon sequestration project. This can be done within your own value chain (known as insetting) or beyond value chain (known as BVCM).
Clear business case for ‘grow your own’
Whist the Land Sector Guidance for carbon removals is still evolving, it is inevitable that verified removals will be a key part of your net zero strategy in the coming years. With carbon credit prices set to soar, having your own carbon sink to achieve net zero and drive ESG benefits has a clear business case. We enable the process at each stage, ensuring rigour and success.
Achieving your science based target demands that you plan for 10% residual emissions
By 2030, carbon credit prices are forecast to be north of £75 per tonne. Financial risk is significant on a ‘do nothing trajectory’.

After a company has achieved its long-term target and cut emissions by more than 90%, it must use permanent carbon removal and storage to counterbalance the final 10% or more of residual emissions that cannot be eliminated.
The time is now to invest in your own SBTi-compliant carbon removals
Unlock nature-based solutions to remove carbon from the atmosphere and achieve your SBT
One Carbon World are specialists in nature based solutions. Whilst our solution portfolio is diverse, the two approaches that we lead with are those where the science is most ready for scale.
We offer a best in class, bespoke carbon removals managed service
Value chain and beyond value chain location services - suitability, verification and history checks.
Rigorous governance process supported by satellite verification, ground truthing and reporting.
Beyond carbon outcomes, every removals project drives broader ecological and community benefit.
Four steps to building your own carbon removals capability
Business Case
Once we have verified your corporate carbon footprint, we present a robust business case for investing in your own carbon removals capability. From reforestation projects to regenerative agriculture, we help you to understand the economics of sequestering carbon and verifying removals under our managed service.
Feasibility
From sourcing your carbon removals sites, using earth observation data to comprehend historic events, to analysing soil strata, we deliver a comprehensive feasibility study for your removal project.
Project delivery
Our expert team will manage the full lifecycle of the project, with robust controls and risk management protocols. We act as a seamless extension of your organisation.
Verified and reporting
We Measure, Report and verification (MRV) your carbon removals, ensuring direct line of sight to activities on the ground, quality control and alignment to the UN Clean Development Mechanism.

Each organisation has a unique and different carbon footprint. That is why One Carbon World and its team of technical experts can now report on over 7000 calculations. Our team will guide you through this process and will help you to measure your Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. We first invite you to select a date and time for a phone consultation with your dedicated technical expert. During the technical call, our expert will explain the emissions sources that we will include and the methodologies we will apply. We will guide you through the data collection procedure and also review any data you have already collected, if applicable. We always attach a guide for data collection for reference. If you have made a self-assessment of your carbon footprint we will talk you through the OCW UN approved verification process. Once we receive your data, our experienced team of carbon auditors will calculate your carbon footprint, and this will be sent for independent external validation.
At the global level, the IPCC defines net-zero as the point at which “anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere are balanced by anthropogenic removals over a specified period”. Achieving net-zero is a strategic approach focused on minimising the net environmental impact, ensuring that global emissions are reduced and rebalanced through initiatives like investing in renewable energy projects or adopting nature-based solutions.
What does it mean to reach net-zero emissions at the corporate level?
To reach a state of net-zero emissions for companies consistent with achieving net-zero emissions at the global level in line with societal climate and sustainability goals implies two conditions:
1. To achieve a scale of value-chain emission reductions consistent with the depth of abatement achieved in pathways that limit warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot and;
2. To neutralise the impact of any source of residual emissions that remains unfeasible to be eliminated by permanently removing an equivalent amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Companies may reach a balance between emissions and removals before they reach the depth of decarbonisation required to limit warming to 1.5ºC. While this represents a transient state of net-zero emissions, it is expected that companies will continue their decarbonisation journey until reaching a level of abatement that is consistent with 1.5ºC pathways.

Every organisation that measures/verifies its emissions with One Carbon World, achieves the Carbon Neutral International Standard or the Net Zero International Standard. Our recognised Carbon Neutral International Standard and Net Zero International Standard are based on a series of steps, and we provide comprehensive support, robust certification and verification, and first-class assessment. There are a set of minimum requirements to achieve the Standard, but we also encourage our partners to adopt best practices where possible, in order to achieve recognition and market-leading status. This means that your organisation will be measuring your emissions to the highest standards of the industry, in line with the Kyoto Protocol and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, as well as meeting the reporting requirements of the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and compatible with international standards ISO 14064 and PAS 2060.

The carbon footprint is quantified in tonnes of CO2e, and visualising this amount can provide context. Consider the following examples:
- 120,000 smartphone charges.
- Heating an average-sized apartment for two months.
- 72 trips Amsterdam to Paris with the Thalys.
- The amount of CO2 absorbed by a beech tree during around 80 years of growth.
- If one tonne of CO2 were compressed into a gaseous state, the resulting cube would have edges measuring eight metres under normal conditions
