Carbon Offset Program · Atlas Mountains

Carbon Offsets

This program calculates the carbon offsets generated from our operations — including renewable energy use, composting systems, and regenerative land management — all based in the communities where we work. While contributions are not yet tax-deductible, every purchase directly funds the expansion of these initiatives, helping generate even more offsets and restore the ecosystems that sustain our flocks and shepherds.

We take transparency seriously. Our offsets are calculated using conservative, research-backed methods and are regularly updated as our programs evolve. Every credit represents work we’ve actually done on the ground. If you have questions about our methodologies or would like to help strengthen them through research or feedback, please get in touch.

Machine Solar System

9187 kg

CO2e offset from 11203 kWh · updates daily

Data Quality: Great ▲

Data: Solar power replaces Moroccan grid electricity (approx. 60% coal, 10% gas). Grid intensity estimated at 0.82 kg CO2e/kWh, based on IEA and Africa Energy Insights.

Source: Africa Energy Insights, IEA Morocco electricity data.

Solar Water Heating

6,240 kg

2025 Solar Heating Offset Estimate

Data Quality: Great ▲

Data: Based on direct measurement to heat 400 liters of water. CO2 emissions from gas combustion estimated at 3.0 kg CO2 per kg of gas. Used for 260 workdays/year.

Source: Atlas Wool Supply Co internal measurement; IPCC fuel emission factors.

Apple Compost System

8,550 kg

CO2e Averted from 13,000 kg of discarded apples

Data Quality: Moderate ▲

Data: Estimated based on open-field decomposition of apples producing methane. Assumes 25% methane yield of the theoretical maximum from anaerobic digestion studies. Composting avoids this methane, replacing it with much less impactful CO2 emissions.

Source: Study on apple pomace methane potential (MDPI, 2022); IPCC GWP values; assumptions adapted to Moroccan conditions.

Solar Tree Collective

21,000 kg

CO2e Offset from 1,900 trees per year

Data Quality: Moderate ▲

Data: Estimate based on average sequestration of 11 kg CO2 per tree per year. Actual sequestration will vary with age, species, and local climate. Further research needed on carbon sequestration of apple trees on Tamzrit plateau.

Farm Solar Pump

8455 kg

CO2e from 10569 kWh replacing diesel pumps · updates daily

Data Quality: Great ▲

Data: Our solar water pump replaced the farmers' old diesel and butane pump engines (many were converted 1980s Mercedes engines). Its energy use is metered by the pump inverter. Per kWh, those engines would have burned fuel worth about 1.1 kg CO2e; we count 0.8, in case more water is pumped now that pumping is free.

Source: Growatt SPI 22000 pump inverter readings; IPCC fuel emission factors (diesel 2.68 kg CO2/litre, butane 3.0 kg CO2/kg).

Advanced: choose where your offset comes from

Our offsets come from four sources. Some are measured and some are estimated. If you don't choose, we pick one at random, weighted by what each has left so they are used up evenly.

Pick one for me Mill solar electricity · Great data Metered: 11,203 kWh of solar replacing Moroccan grid power at 0.82 kg CO2e/kWh. Updates daily. 9,187 kg left. Solar water heating · Great data Measured gas saved heating 400 litres of water, 260 workdays a year. 6,240 kg left. Apple compost · Moderate data Estimated methane avoided by composting 13,000 kg of discarded apples. 8,474 kg left. Solar tree collective · Moderate data Estimated at 11 kg CO2 per tree per year for 1,900 trees; local research still needed. 20,451 kg left. Farm solar pump · Great data Metered: 10,569 kWh from the solar pump that replaced the farmers' old diesel and butane pump engines. Counted at 0.8 kg CO2e/kWh, below the ~1.1 those engines would emit, in case more is pumped now it is free. Updates daily. 8,455 kg left.
