Stickstofffixierende Pflanzen (z.B. Bohnen, Erbsen) reduzieren Emissionen, indem sie die Bodenfruchtbarkeit verbessern und den Bedarf an synthetischen Düngemitteln verringern (~0,5 tCO₂e/ha/Jahr).
Claimable reductions represent the verified decrease in greenhouse gas emissions (tCO₂e) achieved through sustainable practices like regenerative agriculture, silvopasture, and optimized waste management. By procuring commodities with lower emissions, businesses can reduce their Scope 3 emissions directly and/or eliminate the need to purchase separate carbon removals for those emissions.
At $100 per tonne of CO₂e, these reductions provide significant cost savings while aligning procurement with climate goals. This approach offers a practical pathway for companies to lower their carbon footprint through sustainable sourcing.
