Atlas Wool Supply Co
Carbon Offset Program
This program calculates the carbon offsets generated from our operations — including renewable energy use, composting systems, and regenerative land management — all based in the communities where we work. While contributions are not yet tax-deductible, every purchase directly funds the expansion of these initiatives, helping generate even more offsets and restore the ecosystems that sustain our flocks and shepherds.
We take transparency seriously. Our offsets are calculated using conservative, research-backed methods and are regularly updated as our programs evolve. Every credit represents work we’ve actually done on the ground. If you have questions about our methodologies or would like to help strengthen them through research or feedback, please get in touch.
Data: Solar power replaces Moroccan grid electricity (approx. 60% coal, 10% gas). Grid intensity estimated at 0.82 kg CO2e/kWh, based on IEA and Africa Energy Insights.
Source: Africa Energy Insights, IEA Morocco electricity data.
Data: Based on direct measurement to heat 400 liters of water. CO2 emissions from gas combustion estimated at 3.0 kg CO2 per kg of gas. Used for 260 workdays/year.

Data: Estimated based on open-field decomposition of apples producing methane. Assumes 25% methane yield of the theoretical maximum from anaerobic digestion studies. Composting avoids this methane, replacing it with much less impactful CO2 emissions.
Source: Study on apple pomace methane potential (MDPI, 2022); IPCC GWP values; assumptions adapted to Moroccan conditions.
Data: Estimate based on average sequestration of 11 kg CO2 per tree per year. Actual sequestration will vary with age, species, and local climate. Further research needed on carbon sequestration of apple trees on Tamzrit plateau.
