Carbon Compensation
What is a Carbon Compensation?
Our everyday actions such as driving, flying, holidaying and heating buildings consume energy and produce carbon emissions. Carbon compensation scheme is used to compensate for your emissions by funding an equivalent carbon dioxide saving elsewhere.
Did you know that an average tourist visiting Montenegro emits 6. 5 kg Co2 per night?
Should you decide to compensate the emissions of carbon dioxide generated by flying and driving and your holiday in Montenegro, you can do it by financially contributing to the sustainable tourism projects in Montenegro. These projects help Montenegro become a more sustainable destination and also contribute to global fight against climate change.
You also immediately become a member of the prestigious ‘’Low Carbon Montenegro Movement’’ joined by the low carbon world of tomorrow frontrunners!
We offer a range of sustainable tourism projects in Montenegro for which you can donate following a footprint calculation on this web site.
You can be a leader in the fight against climate change: make a donation to compensate for your carbon footprint and support our sustainable tourism carbon reduction projects. Thank you!

Sustainable Tourism Projects
With our projects we promote sustainable tourism development and climate protection.
1. Bicycle paths
Building hiking and biking trails will significantly reduce the negative impact that traffic has on the environment. The trails will enable tourists and locals alike to enjoy routes free from motorized traffic. They will experience twisting and curving rides over mountain passes and sweep down through deep valleys between small, traditional Montenegrin villages.
2. Solar benches/smart bus stops
Smart benches collect energy via solar panels on its roof. The benches serve multiple purposes, as street furniture, lighting fixture, port for supplying electricity to mobile devices, monitoring air quality, and a hot-spot for wireless Internet.
3. Solar boats
Designed for short-distance travel, making it perfect for coastal and lagoon waters, and inter-island transportation. The project will establish a solar powered public boat route to carry passengers through the Bay of Kotor avoiding the busy summer traffic. The solar powered electric catamaran navigates in total silence, reducing noise pollution is a bonus!
We believe that we can build a more sustainable future and truly address climate change only if individuals, businesses and governments all takes responsible steps to REDUCE CO2 emissions as much as possible and then compensate for the remaining emissions.
