Overview

Inside the project

BluEdea, developed by Apolownia, projects 3,000 hectares of restoration over 40 years and 2.5 million tonnes CO2e under VM0033. These figures are ex-ante projections, not achieved outcomes.

The separate CAMERR project is led by Planète Urgence and has its own Verra VCS 4845 filing and Project Design page. Its areas, activities and carbon estimates are excluded from this BluEdea profile.
