CO₂ Removing Green Roofs
Our CO₂ removing green roofs not only provide extra greenery,
but also help the climate by permanently removing CO₂!
How do our CO₂ removing green roofs work?
Our carbon green roofs are equipped with a substrate enriched with a special type of rock and microorganisms that enable the breakdown of CO₂. This allows us to remove at least 500 kg of CO₂ per 100 m². Our carbon green roofs are both ecologically valuable and an active tool in the fight against climate change.
Meet our revolutionary CO₂ removing green roofs! A new green roof that also permanently removes CO₂.
Benefits
Permanent carbon removal
- Unique green roofs with active and permanent (1,000+ years) CO₂ removal from the atmosphere, in accordance with the SNK methodology.
Biodiversity
- More flora and fauna in urban areas: carbon green roofs promote biodiversity by creating a natural habitat for plants, insects, and birds. In doing so, they contribute to a greener, more vibrant city with a healthier ecosystem.
Thermal insulation
- Energy savings through natural temperature regulation of buildings: carbon green roofs help keep buildings cooler in summer and retain warmth in winter, leading to significant energy savings. This natural temperature regulation may qualify for subsidies in some cases; for more information, visit energiesubsidiewijzer.nl.
Water retention
- Supporting water retention in urban areas: carbon green roofs contribute to improved water management by capturing, retaining, and gradually releasing rainwater. This helps reduce flooding and supports a more sustainable urban water system..
Sound insulation
- Natural sound barrier for a quieter living environment: carbon green roofs absorb ambient noise through their thick, plant- and substrate-based layers. This creates a quieter and more comfortable living space, especially in busy urban areas.
Extended roof life
- Reduced maintenance due to protection from the elements: carbon green roofs provide a natural protective layer that shields roofing materials from UV radiation, rain, and temperature fluctuations. This extends the lifespan of the roof and reduces the need for frequent maintenance.
Nature brings life
- A green roof, with its vibrant green sedum and buzzing bees, enhances the surroundings.
Installation Requirements
- Minimum Load Capacity of 60 kg per square meter
- Adequate Rainwater Drainage
- Roofs with a Maximum Incline of 15 Degrees
- Easily Accessible and Reachable for Installation
A green roof pays for itself
- Lower Roof Maintenance Costs
- Reduced Energy Consumption Due to Better Insulation
- Sound Insulation for Increased Comfort and Enhanced Property Value
Financial Incentive
The government encourages the purchase of green roofs by:
- Offering subsidies from municipalities and water boards.
- Providing tax benefits: 45% of the investment can be deducted from taxable profit through MIA/VAMIL.
