Regenerative farming projects
OCW supports a shift to regenerative farming practices, such as cover cropping, crop rotation, and reduced tillage, to promote soil carbon sequestration. By increasing organic matter and improving soil health, regenerative farming helps to capture and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the soil, mitigating climate change and enhancing agricultural sustainability.
Empowering farmers to demonstrate sustainable farming methods
OCW works with farmers and primary producers to accurately measure carbon stocks and track year-on-year additionality resulting from regenerative farming practices. By quantifying the amount of carbon stored in the soil and monitoring the progress over time, we empower farmers to demonstrate the environmental benefits of their sustainable farming methods and access potential carbon credit opportunities.
Integrated strategies for today’s carbon farmer
We support farmers in designing net-zero transition plans that reduce, remove, and avoid carbon emissions on their farms through sustainable practices and carbon sequestration, helping them contribute to global climate change mitigation.

Frequently asked questions

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
