Our service
Our CO2 calculator is available online for anyone who is interested in using it. It is based on regularly updated scientific data from the Federal Environmental Agency (UBA) and the IFEU Institute. Here, it is possible to calculate the amount of climate-changing emissions generated, for instance, by a flight from Frankfurt to Nairobi – and then to offset these emissions. The customer either receives a printable invoice or pays directly via the KD-Bank’s online system.
If the level of emissions is already known, for instance through an organisation’s internal environmental management system, it can also be compensated without using the CO2 calculator. The direct Compensation tool on the website can be used for this purpose.
The customer pays a specific sum of money for the greenhouse gas emissions that are calculated. Following this, Klima-Kollekte invests this sum in climate protection projects run by its partners for the purpose of offsetting emissions. Focusing primarily on implementing projects in developing countries and Eastern Europe, contributions such as these are used to replace fossil fuel sources with renewable energies or to implement energy efficiency measures
Scale
All interested institutions and friends of Klima-Kollekte may wish to use the so-called "offsetting scale". This tool enables people to compare emissions in regard to different means of transport such as traveling by plane, car or public transport. You might want to display the scale for educational purpose or involve guest at a conference in climate related talks. Please give us a call or write an email to service@
How the system works
From its customers, Klima-Kollekte receives €25 per ton of CO2 emissions that are to be offset. Once the compensation payment has been made, the recognised emission certificates are neutralised in the relevant amount. Each certificate corresponds to one ton of CO2.
The proceeds are used as follows:
Klima-Kollekte purchases CO2 certificates from large projects (>5,000 tons of CO2 saved annually) from the shareholders for €20 per ton.
€1.00 is used to support very small projects as these, although often very expensive in relative terms, are to be supported for development policy reasons – this is because they often take innovative approaches and are based in regions that are relatively new to climate protection projects.
€3.00 is retained by our office for its administrative work, for maintaining and updating the website and CO2 calculator and for PR work and advertising activities.
€1.00 is used for educational work. In order to promote commitment to climate protection and to make people aware of their own carbon footprint, Klima-Kollekte makes its wide range of activities available to you.

Offers for your event
More and more often, efforts are made for climate-friendly events; trade fair organizers like “Heldenmarkt” or “Fairgoods” compensate emissions with Klima-Kollekte.
We got together with “KlimAktivgGmbH” (a German non-profit organization) to develop a detailed calculator for emissions due to events. However, there is the principle of avoiding and reducing before compensating.
We enjoy being available for you in advisory capacity in terms of emission reduction at events. Depending on how extensive your event is and what importance climate protection has, we will develop a concept.
Do you want to point to Klima-Kollekte at your event? We would be pleased to send you information. Our CO2 scales could also be an attraction. Moreover, we love to give you advice in advance or during an event. Please contact us: info@

Cooperative offers
For printed products, CO2-emissions are calculated and compensated automatically. The compensation amount is invested in projects of Klima-Kollekte.
For print products Klima-Kollekte cooperates with ClimatePartner. ClimatePartner is able to calculate emissions from print products for printing shops. Furthermore, it has a network of over 500 printing shops in German-speaking regions, in which the shops are provided with a CO2-calculater to calculate the emissions themselves.
If you have a print product, such as flyers, annual reports or church newspapers, you can ask your printing shop to offset the related CO2-emissions. If the shop is not yet part of the network, it can contact ClimatePartner to calculate emissions and offset them.
Offsetting can be done through different projects, therefore always tell your printing shop that you want to offset with Klima-Kollekte to make sure your contribution goes to the projects of Klima-Kollekte
For print products, CO2-emissions are calculated and compensated automatically. The compensation amount is invested in projects of Klima-Kollekte.
The benefit of this cooperative offers: There is no need to calculate and offset emissions manually. It happens automatically when purchasing the product.
Tourcert is a not-for-profit and value-based community of businesses and demands a lot from themselves and search for ways to financially viable, environmentally sustainable and socially just business operations. They are in dialogue with partners and customers to continuously improve our services - together with Klima-Kollekte, too.
