123Carbon B.V. Series A scale up
123Carbon accelerates net zero transportation through the issuance, management and allocation of environmental attribute certificates (EAC's) across all modalities (air, sea, road, rail, barge) and technologies, following globally accepted book and claim methodologies. We are also diversifying into materials such as green concrete, green steel, green hydrogen and green chemicals.

The premiums paid for the greener materials are offset against Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs ) purchased by customers who use that transport solution or material, allowing them to claim a lower scope 3 footprint. The blockchain based 123carbon platform ensure tight accountability and audit trails ensuring that greenwashing cor double counting cannot happen.

  • Other: Green materials and green multi modal transport solutions

About Us
Jeroen van Heiningen set-up and led Accenture’s Sustainability Services Benelux and wrote the CDP NL 50 report in 2010. He has 15 years of experience with multi-modal carbon insetting programs, covering both Air (KLM corporate biofuels Program) and Marine (the GoodShipping Program). He holds a master in Business Administration from Tilburg University.

Problem we are solving
Companies need to show reduced scope 3 in their annual reports. Multi modal transport providers have many innovations such as bio fuels, SAF, EVs etc that allow lower scope 3 emissions for customers. The challenge, when available solutions are the minority of transport providers, is matching the demand for lower scope 3 certificates with the supply. The 123Carbon platform and registry enables the creation of EACs by fuel and transport providers investing in greener lower carbon solutions and materials, and matches the EACs to customers and companies who need to book and claim lower scope 3 emissions within the same chain. In this way, the green solution that can be many times more expensive than conventional, gets funded by selling and allocating the EACs.

Sustainable Impact on Blue Ecconomy
Complete transparency, independent platform & registry, auditable, backed by proven methodology - eg smart freight centre, backed by blockchain to avoid double counting, registry interoperability - ie with IATA for SAF, can support ANY mode of transport or ANY green material (eg green concrete, green steel, green hydrogen, green chemicals)

TRL
  • TRL 9 - Actual system proven through successful mission operations


Financial NeedsWe are growing at over 300% CAGR per year. In 2025 we are on track to place over 800.000 MT of CO2e EACs (up form 320.000 MT CO2e in 2024), and aim for Euro 1M turnover (up from Euro 350k in 2024). We forecast revenues of Euro 7,3 M for 2026, but need to recruit aprox 20 headcount to make that happen.

We need 5M to grow.
