Verified carbon projects sit alongside reduction. They do not make a venue or event carbon neutral or net zero.

What the project does.

This project supports the manufacturing and use of glulam timber beams for commercial construction in Norway. Produced in Agder, each cubic metre of glulam stores 541 kg of CO₂ absorbed during tree growth. The timber is harvested from sustainably managed Norwegian and Swedish forests certified under the PEFC chain of custody, ensuring continuous forest regeneration and expansion.

The glulam elements are used in high-performance, long-lifespan buildings that lock carbon away for at least 50 years, often exceeding 100 years. Replacing traditional concrete and steel components with wood significantly lowers the emissions footprint of large-scale construction. The project is audited under the Puro Standard, which ensures accuracy, transparency, and permanence in carbon removals through long-lived timber structures.
