about us

The mission of decarbonise

We want to create awareness that the majority of activities and habits that seem everyday to us have an (often negative) impact on the climate and the environment. We create this awareness by transparently calculating how much CO₂ the activities of our everyday life cause. The goal must be to reduce climate-damaging actions to a minimum. At the same time, we want to offer the opportunity to offset the CO₂ emissions from unavoidable activities through interesting projects and to counteract climate change. We are convinced that each and every one of us should act responsibly and not be left to politics alone.

The idea

On a train ride, we realized that we should make an active contribution to being more reflective about travel and life and to making the consequences of our trade more transparent. We all know offers to compensate for trips and have already used them. However, we did not find an offer that combined user-friendliness, scope of service, transparency and interesting and innovative projects to compensate. And so the idea and the claim of decarbonise was born.

Robert

During my studies on sustainable development I realized that there is no one effective way to protect the climate. In addition to effective government programs, the awareness and commitment of each individual is important. It is clear that we have to change our behavior in the long term. At the same time, there must be intelligent and intuitive ways of dealing with CO₂ emissions quickly and effectively that we cannot (yet) avoid. This is how the idea for decarbonise.de came about.

Konrad

In my job at a large German automotive company, I see the challenges we face every day due to our technology. In doing so, I actively feel the dichotomy in which we stand as a society. On the one hand the preservation of important jobs, on the other hand the preservation of our environment and future. Offsetting greenhouse gases will of course only be an interim solution. With decarbonise we want to give everyone (including us, of course) the opportunity to actively do something to preserve our environment. Regionality is particularly important to me. I think we should fix CO₂ where we emit it.

Simon

Precisely because I've had to travel a lot in my professional life so far, I found it important to help shape an idea that enables CO₂ compensation for travel, but at the same time will increasingly show solutions for CO₂ avoidance in the medium term. In Konrad and Robert I have found companions whose ideas for the further development of decarbonise are sparkling.
