Ljárskógar
In the summer of 2023, an afforestation project for carbon sequestration began at Ljárskógar in Dalabyggð. A variety of tree species, including spruce, larch, aspen, birch, and pine, were planted during the summers of 2023 and 2024, totaling around 290,000 trees. The carbon sequestration of these trees will be measured and verified regularly over the next 50 years.
At the same time, ongoing monitoring will focus on forest health, soil carbon storage, tree species distribution, and overall ecosystem development. Cultural heritage sites in the area will also be observed, along with the project’s contributions to the local community.
Ljárskógar has been assessed under the Skógarkolefni framework, following the standards of Lands og Skógar, and is currently in the certification process with Enviance.
In the summer of 2024, an afforestation project for carbon sequestration began at Hamrar in Dalabyggð. The plan is to plant over 135,000 trees, including birch, larch, pine, and spruce. Nearly 40,000 trees were planted in the summer of 2024, with the remaining planting scheduled for completion in the summer of 2025. The carbon sequestration of these trees will be measured and verified regularly over the next 50 years.
Simultaneously, ongoing monitoring will focus on forest health, soil carbon storage, tree species distribution, and overall ecosystem development. Cultural heritage sites in the area will also be observed, along with the project’s contributions to the local community.
Hamrar is undergoing assessment under the Skógarkolefni framework, following the standards of Lands og Skógar, and will begin the certification process once planting is complete.

YGGCarbon Map
Carbon credits:
One carbon unit is equivalent to
sequestration of one ton of carbon dioxide.
50 year commitment:
YGG's projects span 50 years. Buyers receive certified credits regularly over the course of the project following each verification.
Pending carbon credits:
A pending carbon credit refers to carbon sequestration that is anticipated in the future.
These credits can be secured now, with the intention of using them once the carbon has actually been sequestered.
Frequently asked questions
1
What does it mean that carbon credits are certified and why does it matter?
Certification is a transparent process designed to ensure that carbon units meet specific quality standards. All records and measurements are reviewed and verified by an independent, accredited certification body, such as one accredited to ISO 14065. These quality standards and accreditations are publicly available documents, making the certification process both transparent and credible. When a product is certified, the buyer can be confident that it meets these strict quality standards, which is crucial to maintaining confidence in the product.

2
When will the first units of the climate project be available?
Once planting is complete, the project goes through a rigorous process that concludes with certification. At that point, the project becomes eligible for the Climate Registry, and pending units are ready for sale. The process from the completion of planting to pending units can take up to 6 months.

3
When will certified credits from the climate project be available to offset emissions in green accounting?
The first verification is expected to take place ten years after the project's validation. During this process, extensive measurements are conducted to assess the trees' carbon storage, both on the ground and using drones. Experts from the certification agency then verify the accuracy of these measurements. Once the verification report is submitted, the carbon credits generated over the past ten years will be fully certified and available for sale. If they were previously sold as pending units, the buyers can now officially use them to offset their emissions in green accounting.
