BRYCK BE BOLD

EVENT DOcUMENTATION

BRYCK, the startup and innovation hub based in Essen/Germany, used the BELOW2 Standard to compensate for the CO₂ emissions of the BE BOLD event in 2023.

COMPENSATION OF 16 TONS CO₂eq.

Carbon footprint compensation of BRYCK’s BE BOLD event with BELOW2 Carbon Credits

BRYCK, the startup and innovation hub based in Essen/Germany, has decided for the first time to offset the CO₂ emissions generated in connection with one of its networking events. After BELOW2 participated in the BRYCK Booster, a startup program providing founders with result-driven support, the hub chose the company as its offsetting partner for its first flagship event in 2023 themed “BE BOLD”.

BELOW2 Verified Carbon Impacts (VCI) are based on carefully verified regional projects, which directly impact fighting climate change. They are transparent, trustworthy, and focused on CO₂ avoidance and removal. Those criteria were of utmost importance for BRYCK to be fulfilled.

The carbon offsetting

The BE BOLD event carbon offsetting consists of 16 metric tons of CO₂ equivalents. It only comprises Verified Carbon Impacts from C-Sink (biochar). Their effects are transparent and scientifically verified.

The compensation is possible through partnering with local farming and biochar production to achieve this. These regional companies, which actively drive sustainable economic activities (such as biogas or regenerative farming), generate additional revenues by issuing CO₂ certificates. These can be reinvested to optimize, accelerate or strengthen the projects.

The detailed documentation contains exhaustive information on the selected projects to compensate for the carbon footprint of the BE BOLD event. The Blockchain information can be checked at the end of this page.

Selected Projects

VCI-S-1000 Removal

Location: Lower Saxony, Germany

Project executor: Bioenergy Dieckmann eG, 38350 Helmstedt
Time: 2018
Type: Long-term carbon sequestration in biochar

When burned or decomposed, plant residues release the CO₂ they have bound. However, if plant residues are converted into plant charcoal in a pyrolysis process, a large proportion of the CO₂ is bound in the Biochar. Once this Biochar is spread on a field and incorporated into the soil, it is stable in the soil for over 1,000 years.
