Well done. I already am climate-active, but you inspired me to step it up a notch!

Carbon Removal Portfolio
What's in the Portfolio?
A ready-made, hand-curated, science-backed portfolio of carbon removal solutions, that will evolve as new high quality options become available. It's a mix of solutions that work in the way we need to make a dent in the Climate Crisis and reach Net Zero.
Removing carbon is more expensive than buying a low cost avoidance credit. This is because those lower quality credits only say someone else avoided emitting greenhouse gases while you still did! Often they don't reduce or remove emissions at all. They're not up to the job.
By blending together a range of high quality carbon removal our Portfolio Fund-1 benchmarks a price of $150 per tonne (a metric ton) of greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere. That's the price recommended by numerous respected organisations and it gives us a good range of options to invest in true carbon removal to support growing this crucial new industry.
Carbon Removal for All
Carbon removal solutions all cost different amounts, ranging from about $15 per tonne up to about $1000 per tonne. We've mixed them together to give an average price of $150 per tonne to make it accessible. We also use the most permanent removal options as possible. Read more about our custom methodology on what is (& isn't) included in our portfolios.
No one single carbon removal type is likely to be at the 5 to 10 gigatonne per year level we need to have by 2050. The truth is we're going to need all of these solutions to draw down emissions from the atmosphere and reduce the effects of climate change. A portfolio approach means we can invest and grow each category at the same time.
We're aiming for over 85% to go directly to the projects, after applicable taxes are paid (if any are due). We'll retain up to 10% to invest in more things like this and other hopeful climate projects. The remaining 5% is payment provider fees.
How do we compare carbon removal projects?
Permanence
Each type locks away emissions for a different amount of time. We look for verified projects that have as long as possible permanence. It varies from about 100 to tens of thousands of years.
Additionality
Does the project remove emissions from the atmosphere - and lock them away - than would have been if no action had been taken? We look for the highest levels of extra carbon removal.
Co-benefits
We love projects that have more benefits in tackling climate change and ecological breakdown than just removing or reducing emissions. We look for projects that also regenerate nature.
Vintage
The year that the carbon will be removed. Ideally the sooner the better. We'll say what the vintage is, as it will vary by the project type - from this year to a few years down the line.
I'm ready. How do I get started?
Great to hear! We're delighted you're with us. We've set-up two options for you to get started removing your carbon emissions. Whether you're dipping your toe or draining your proverbial carbon ocean, there's an option here for you.
Regular Carbon Removal
Ready to remove some or all of your carbon emissions? Amazing! You're in the right place. Subscribe to a regular contribution to live your best climate life. Simply select the amount you'd like to pull out of the atmosphere and we'll make it happen (well, our incredible partners will!).
One-time Carbon Removal
Bought a new thing or some more stuff? Taken an unexpected flight? You can remove individual purchases with our one-time carbon removal option. Just select the amount or item you'd like to remove and the carbon's gone (of course, it's a bit more complicated than that!).
Some stuff folks say about us
Well done. I already am climate-active, but you inspired me to step it up a notch!

I thought it was very well presented and easy to follow, it has a friendly feel. I have heard about Climate change and the dangers we face but this is the first time I feel I have been given information to put what is happening into perspective
Karen E 🇬🇧
It’s pretty amazing! Thank you for making confusing climate science so clear and giving people a way to contribute effectively.
Andrea 🇪🇸
This is the format in which I like to learn. And, the content is really good and well paced.
Clyde 🇺🇸
I can't thank you enough for all you're doing, Zopeful Team! I loved it. It was informative, approachable, hopeful and empowering. Keep up the incredible work. Cheers!
Caitlin 🇺🇸
If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed and hopeless about the climate crisis, you're not alone. But here's something that can help! A realistic but hopeful picture of what we need to do.

I’ve been finding it a super easy way to spread the word and to get more people joining our mission.
Mariana D 🇬🇧
Really enjoyed Intro to Climate!
Looking forward to the next one!
Jorim S 🇳🇱
It's a great opportunity to really ponder the Climate Crisis and assess what you can do to have an impact
Courtney 🇬🇧
Love what you are doing here, and impressive what you have pulled together :-) Thanks for being at pains to cut through the jargon – this educational work you're doing is so key.
Tom 🇺🇸
Does a brilliant job of taking a huge...& complex subject & breaking it down into easily digestible chunks.
Cherry 🇬🇧
I admire your dedication to the project & you've clearly done a lot of research!

How much should I remove?
That depends. It's up to you. We've bundled some options so you can make your own decisions. Some people choose to buy carbon removal for specific purchases they've made, and others prefer to subscribe to remove their entire climate impact.
Whichever you choose is right for you is good by us, it's all progress.
😳 How much does a typical person emit per year in my country? 😳
🤔 How much carbon is in my everyday stuff? 🤔
📉 What's more important: reducing or removing carbon emissions? 📉
What about carbon in my stuff?
There's hidden carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases in everything we use, do or buy in the modern world. We didn't choose for them to be they, but they definitely are and you can do something about them!
