Why are hazelnut plants so effective?

Hazelnuts demonstrate maximum CO₂ absorption capacity.

Research in Central Italy shows hazelnut orchards sequester ~58.8 tons (± 9.1 tons) of CO₂/ha/year, or ~16 tons CO₂ annually, like forests.

This is due to a long growing season, dense foliage, and low biomass removal (nuts are a small part of phytomass).

Hazelnuts excel in carbon sequestration.

The net balance for hazelnuts over 30 years is positive and very high.

Over 30 years, hazelnut orchards sequester ~1,500 tons CO₂/ha. Initial soil carbon losses are offset by soil and wood accumulation. Hazelnuts' carbon potential rivals or exceeds natural ecosystems with optimal conditions.

The net carbon balance is highly positive, surpassing other crops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if my tree dies completely and requires replanting?toggle icon

If your tree dies entirely, we will replace it during the next suitable planting season (fall or spring) to ensure optimal conditions for the new sapling to take root. The replacement is handled by a local farmer, with all costs covered by the Hazelbit reserve fund.

How will I receive confirmation of my CO₂ emissions offset, and how much will it be?toggle icon

You will receive an electronic certificate, securely recorded in our blockchain system for complete transparency and data integrity. If desired, the certificate can be downloaded as a PDF directly from your personal account.

What standards and certifications underpin the provided documents (ISO, international bodies)?toggle icon

• Our carbon certificates are issued based on a proprietary methodology aligned with ISO 14064-2 (a standard for verifying and reporting emissions and CO₂ removal). • CO₂ absorption calculations follow Hazelbit’s internal protocol, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Can I sell or transfer my NFT certificate to another person, and how does this affect carbon offsets?toggle icon

• Transferring the certificate (NFT) is possible. We have a mechanism to transfer tree ownership to new owners, provided they formally accept the same care obligations through approved partners.

What guarantees are provided to investors (risk insurance, reserve funds, etc.)?toggle icon

• Hazelbit Reserve Fund: - We maintain a dedicated reserve fund to cover unforeseen expenses, such as replacing dead trees, emergency agricultural work, or force majeure events on plantations. - The fund’s size is proportional to the scale of plantings, ensuring financial stability even during seasonal risks.

Our Certificates

Hazelbit offers innovative products for both the global economy and customer protection. Offset CO₂ emissions with your own fruit-bearing hazelnut plants under controlled conditions

ESG Impact Tree

The Hazelbit Green Certificate is an official document confirming your company's contribution to reducing its carbon footprint. We issue a personalized certificate to each corporate partner, indicating the number of plants planted on behalf of the company and the projected volume of compensated CO₂. The certificate is protected from forgery (digital record in the Hazelbit registry) and complies with the standards of the International Climate Reporting Organization.

Why are our green certificates special? Because they are backed by concrete actions – real plants growing on our plantations. Unlike abstract "carbon credits," here every number is equivalent to planted trees and nut yields. You not only balance emissions but also support a regenerative approach to economy.

alt

Hazelbit NuovoGreen Certificate

In the case of the ESG Impact Tree, you get 5-year-old hazelnut plants that will offset your carbon footprint from the first seconds of certification. However, Hazelbit plans to establish new plantations of hazelnut plants in the future to contribute even more to improving the climate conditions on our planet.

Right now it takes a little time to organize the land and get healthy seedlings, so this program is not available right now.

You can contribute to the planting of new plants here, and to keep up to date with news regarding this segment, please contact us by mail or phone.
