ABOUT

ChromeCarbon is a reforestation and carbon reduction program by and for automotive enthusiasts and motoring adventurers.

There is an emotional and essential relationship between nature and automotive. To the enthusiast they both mean beauty and freedom. Mountains, forests, deserts, countryside, you name it. We most often enjoy our pride and joy in natural sceneries and many automobiles have been designed to explore new territories. But as a responsible community we cannot ignore that these same sceneries we enjoy are under threat of our own byproduct: CO₂.

ChromeCarbon is about enjoying our passion honestly by facing our responsibility and preventing more CO₂ from entering the atmosphere than what our vehicles emit.

It is about repairing, restoring and preserving not only our machines but also our environment. All for future generations.

All our partner’s projects are a way to enhance and preserve the environment and the climate while fostering socio-economic development.

One Tree Planted

One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisation dedicated to global reforestation. Their projects span the globe to create a positive impact on nature, people, and wildlife. Reforestation helps to rebuild forests after fires and floods, generating social impact through job creation while restoring biodiversity. In 2022, they planted 52 million trees.

The Future Forest Company

Supported by the Scottish Government, The Future Forest Company exist to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, restore biodiversity and fight climate change. Their mission is to plant enough trees to remove 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by 2030 by restoring degraded peatland and providing rural communities with expertise and employment.

Gold Standard

Gold Standard was established in 2003 by WWF and other international NGOs to ensure projects that reduced carbon emissions featured the highest levels of environmental integrity and also contributed to sustainable development. To date, the cumulative effect of their projects aims to prevent 125 million tonnes of CO₂ from being released.

ChromeCarbon is a transparent organisation and we will publish here the yearly receipts of our investments with our partners including the quantities of CO₂ offsetted and the number of trees planted in relation to our commitment to our members.

ChromeCarbon dedicates 80% of individual contributions and 70% of business contributions to funding projects. An above average ratio that has us compete with the most financially efficient charities. The overheads are used to grow the community, maintain and improve the service and cover staff costs.

ChromeCarbon was created by modern classics enthusiast and adventure motorbike rider Julien Lescure supported by passionate friends and talented professionals.
