Update for customers using our API and Marketplace to purchase carbon

FAQs

• Why has the cost of carbon increased?

  This has been due to a significant increase in demand to buy and retire carbon in recent months, which has pushed up the price of carbon across the market. Here at Ecologi, we always purchase carbon which is verified to a leading carbon standard, and from projects which we believe will have a lasting positive impact on people and planet. The cost of purchasing carbon reductions from these high-quality projects has more than doubled in the past year, and so in order to continue to support these projects, we need to ensure we are charging the appropriate amount on our platform. 

• Will the carbon I’ve purchased so far this month be charged at the new price?

  No, our prices will not be changed until 1st February 2022 so any impact purchased via the API across January will be charged at our current rate.

• Will the cost of trees be increasing?

  No, this update does not affect the cost of purchasing trees.
