Descarbonize was created to calculate, compensate and mainly educate companies to reduce their carbon emissions by making them more sustainable in their daily lives. Our objective is to help companies have a more assertive view of their emissions, enabling them to control their scopes (1, 2 and 3) so that they reduce their footprints and, therefore, their compensation. The majority of our sources of compensation come from renewable energy with a strong socio-environmental commitment. We invest in several local projects bringing social insertion, improving living conditions and also environmental conditions for the entire population. Our certificates are provided by ENGIE and are highly reliable, as you can be sure where they are from and which project is attributed to each certificate issued.

It operates in the generation and distribution of electricity, natural gas and renewable energy. The company provides electrical power generation solutions, engineering and construction services, and energy services to commercial and residential customers.

ENGIE Brasil, which is the Brazilian subsidiary of ENGIE and the country's leading renewable energy company, operates in the generation, commercialization and transmission of electrical energy, gas transportation and energy solutions. With its own installed capacity of around 10 GW in 68 plants, which represents around 6% of national capacity, the company has 100% of its installed capacity coming from renewable sources and with low Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. such as hydroelectric, wind, solar and biomass plants.
ENGIE is working to reduce its carbon footprint by investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. The company has several renewable energy generation projects in operation in the country, including wind, solar and hydroelectric plants. All ENGIE renewable energy projects invest in socio-environmental projects and contribute to the sustainable development of various communities. Furthermore, ENGIE Brasil is investing in green hydrogen projects and energy storage solutions.
Renewable energy and forestry carbon credits are different mechanisms, which encourage the reduction of GHG emissions in different ways: the first encourages the generation of clean energy and the second encourages the preservation or reforestation of natural areas. We offer carbon credits from renewable energy, as energy from fossil sources is one of the largest emitters in the world and we believe that investments in renewable energy will play a large part in reducing global CO2 emissions.
