Høgevarde
Høgevarde stores carbon to reduce the carbon footprint from constructing Europe's most extensive bike trail network.
In the years ahead, Høgevarde will build one of Europe's largest networks of bicycle trails. The ambition is for Høgevarde and Flå to become a leading destination for nationally and internationally track biking.
Høgevarde has engaged the Australian company World Trail to build sustainable bike trails and wants to take responsibility for the CO2 footprint associated with transporting World Trail's personnel.
The biochar supplied through Down to Earth will go to local farms around the destination. Høgevarde is also considering running a test project where the biochar is used in the bike trail. This is because biochar acts like a sponge and can help absorb rainfall, keeping the track dry and in good condition. Suitable for the course, good for the climate, and the microbiology.
In our eyes, Høgevarde is a guiding star in how companies take responsibility for their CO2 footprints. Far too many fall into the trap of choosing quantity to cover their entire CO2 footprint and purchase solutions with questionable climate impact. By choosing carbon removal and not compromising on quality, even if it doesn't cover the whole footprint, Høgevarde reduces its footprint with a sure climate effect.
