How we do it
& Why
Our Calculator
Our Blockchain
Our Approach
At TGP, we ultimately want to help combat global warming and improve the livelihood of people all over the world. As a first step, we will help people, companies and organisations quantify their carbon footprint and plant trees to compensate. But carbon compensation is not a free pass to continue living unsustainably and is only one component in our strategy:
– Quantify & Compensate (your past emissions)
– Set Goals & Reduce your Carbon Footprint (over time)
– Become Carbon Neutral (short term)
– Become Carbon Negative (long term)
These are ambitious goals and can only be achieved as a collective, global and continuous effort.
To help us get started, we built smart online calculators to quantify the carbon footprint of designated activities.
Our Online Calculators
Our online calculator can quantify the Carbon Emissions for:
– Office & Administrative Activities.
More calculators for more Activities and Sectors will be added soon!

Our Approach
About Us
Our Blockchain & Algorithms
How do you know how many trees need to be planted to offset a specific activity? How can you ensure that your tree has effectively been planted and that it is still alive and well over time? How can you ensure that the funds raised have been used as advertised?
Our Algorithms are able to quantify the exact C02 amount of designated activities and suggest the related number of trees needed to absorb such carbon amount.
Our open-source Blockchain records all the relevant information linked to any carbon compensation: the date of the compensation activity, the localisation and exact GPS coordinates of the trees or mangroves that have been planted, the name of the planter, pictures and updates of your trees and mangroves etc.
Our platforms (website, app) centralise all such information and deliver them to you in a user-friendly and easy-to-read manner.
This transparency allows any user at any time to check and monitor its carbon related activities, track its trees on an online map, receive updates etc.
Our Priorities, Approach & Strategy
At TGP, we ultimately want to help combat global warming and improve the livelihood of people all over the world. As a first step, we will help people, companies and organisations quantify their carbon footprint and plant trees to compensate. But carbon compensation is not a free pass to continue living unsustainably and is only one component in our strategy:
– Quantify & Compensate
– Set Goals & Reduce your Carbon Footprint
– Become Carbon Neutral
– Become Carbon Negative
These are ambitious goals and can only be achieved as a collective, global and continuous effort.
Below are some of our priorities and guidelines to help achieve these goals.
Concrete Actions
Climate change is a global issue that requires global thinking but local actions.
Here are some simple and concrete actions that can be implemented here and now.
Science & Data
We only carry out actions if their benefits are supported by Science and Data.
Involve & Engage
We Involve users and online communities with local communities in our action areas (Vietnam, Indonesia, Kenya etc.).
TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY
We are as transparent as possible:
– about how we use your money
– about who is doing what
– in communicating our latest developments
Information & Knowledge for all
Summaries of IPCC and academic reports made easy to understand and put into “real-world” perspective.
Where possible, we’ll make information fun and interactive!
