Durabilité & impact

FolkCarbon · climate

Every kilogram you buy sequesters carbon. We document it. On the invoice.

Folk Oils records the carbon sequestration equivalence of the UNESCO argan forest on commercial documentation — INRAE 2023 baseline (2 tCO₂/ha/year) and 25 kg oil/ha real yield.

oil / hectare / year

2,000 kg

CO₂ sequestered / ha / year

80 kg

CO₂ sequestered per kg of argan oil

2,000 kg CO₂/ha ÷ 25 kg oil/ha = 80 kg CO₂/kg — method aligned with EU CRCF Carbon Farming.

Carbon footprint — scopes

Structured GHG measurement and reduction, targeting EU CRCF certification and credit monetisation from argan forest sequestration.

Scope 1

Direct emissions — Folk Oils operations

On-site combustion: boilers, collection vehicles, generator. Scope 1+2 baseline — 2025. Reduction target: −30% by 2027 (solar thermal, fleet).

Scope 2

Purchased energy — electricity & steam

Nouaceur-Casablanca site. On-site PV self-consumption — target: 60% of electricity produced on site by 2028.

Scope 3

Upstream & downstream chain

Raw material transport, packaging (drums, IBC), export maritime logistics — quantification in progress for the FolkNow report.

Emissions reduction — milestones

  • Scope 1+2 measurement (baseline) 100%
  • Nouaceur site photovoltaics 35%
  • Scope 3 quantification (transport & packaging) 40%
  • EU CRCF certification — Carbon Farming 20%
  • Argan forest carbon credit sales (CFSU) 10%

Argan forest as a carbon sink

800,000 hectares, centuries-old trees, deep roots: the argan forest sequesters CO₂ at a measurable scale. Folk Oils aims to certify and monetise this sequestration as credits (voluntary / European markets) and share part of the revenue with cooperatives that protect the forest.

Certification pipeline

  • GHG Scope 1+2 inventory — baseline year 2025 Done
  • Field audit argan sequestration (ASMEL + consultant) In progress
  • EU CRCF file — Regulation (EU) 2024/3012 In progress
  • Third-party verification — credit validation Q2 2026
  • First CFSU credit sale (voluntary market) Q4 2026
  • Revenue redistribution → cooperatives & HFAM Foundation 2027

EU CRCF — four criteria

01

Quantified carbon benefit

2,000 kg CO₂/ha/year on Anti-Atlas argan forest — 80 kg CO₂/kg oil ratio. INRAE method + ASMEL audit.

02

Demonstrated additionality

Without Folk Oils + ASMEL funding, terraces, agdal and guarding would not reach the same scale.

03

Durable storage (5–30 years)

Long-lived argan trees; multi-year cooperative contracts; monitoring per CRCF requirements.

04

Biodiversity co-benefits

UNESCO argan forest — biodiversity, anti-desertification, rural women’s income — documented with ASMEL.

EU CRCF regulatory timeline

  • Dec 2024

    Regulation (EU) 2024/3012 adopted

    First European framework for certifying sequestrations — carbon farming, agroforestry.

  • Apr 2026

    Carbon Farming methodologies published

    Delegated acts in the Official Journal of the EU.

  • Q3 2026

    First CRCF certifications accepted
