What’s the CO2 impact of an Ecosia search?
Can a search engine offset its carbon footprint and go even further? At Ecosia, we’re not only concerned with running on clean energy; we want to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to tackle global climate change.
If the internet were a country it would rank #3 in the world in terms of electricity consumption, according to a recent Greenpeace report. Servers used to run the web need a lot of power. We believe that energy should be produced by renewable sources, and that it is the responsibility of companies to make sure their operations do not harm the planet.
That’s why in 2017, we decided to build our own solar energy plant to ensure that our servers will always be run on 100% renewable energy. The 531kWp plant is now up and running, delivering clean energy to the grid and replacing electricity derived from fossil fuels.
And that’s not all. Since we use our profits to plant trees, each search with Ecosia actually removes approximately 1 kg of CO2 from the atmosphere. How? On average, it takes around 50 searches to finance the planting of a new tree. An average tree planted by Ecosia will remove around 50 kg of CO2 from the air during its lifetime. This means that, if Ecosia were as big as Google, we could absorb 15% of all global CO2 emissions!
Google has been carbon neutral since 2017, but it’s only by searching with Ecosia that you can actively help to mend our planet.
It’s been a year since we paired up with web browser Vivaldi – a customisable web browser based in Norway that is committed to running on clean energy.
By making Ecosia their default search engine, Vivaldi users have helped to plant an amazing 36,560 trees and counting!
Find out how these searches are helping to restore forest corridors for chimpanzees in Uganda, in this special update from our Tree-Planting Officer Pieter.

Honey. Potatoes. And 200,000 trees. This is Takka's story.
Ecosia is now an official search option in Firefox Germany. Wunderbar! More info here.

Plant trees? There's an app for that.
With great delight, and after many months of hard work, we introduce our new mobile apps! You can now plant trees on the go by searching the web with your phone or tablet.
Give them a try, won't you?
Your Searches in Ethiopia
Behind the hills of Dila, in southern Ethiopia, Zebras are returning to the valley for the first time in a century. Water fills the banks of the Sofe River in the dry season. Coffee plants thrive under thriving shade trees. Children get ready for school. Ten thousand tree seedlings are growing in a nursery.
It’s been 8 years
It’s been 8 years since Christian hugged a tree.
Two tourist guides planted 5 million trees in under a year. Meet our partners in Tanzania!
Here’s our tree-planting officer, sitting in a tree in Ethiopia, telling you about how your trees are doing in Madagascar, Brazil and co!
Thanks to you, we've planted close to 15 million trees. Let's see if we can double this number in one year. Everyone can be a #TreeHero.
Madagascar is a treasure of biodiversity under threat by deforestation. Thanks to our partners, The Eden Reforestation Projects, and your searches, together we are reviving this vital ecosystem.
The Fruits of our Labor
The green hills that used to surround the Moroccan cities of Fez, Ifran and Oujda have turned amber. Years of intensive grazing have depleted the soil of its nutrients. Only the oldest villagers remember that their home used to be green, and cooler.
Thanks to your searches, millions of trees are being planted in Burkina Faso, Peru, Madagascar and Indonesia. From this day forward, your trees will be planted in Tanzania, too! The project we just started to support is located in one of our planet’s 36 biodiversity hotspots. Over the course of the next nine months, we will plant 3 million trees on Tanzania’s Usambara mountain range.
We talked to philosopher Peter Singer about environmental action, climate change, and pleasure. Peter Singer is the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, laureate professor at the University of Melbourne, and the author of over forty books, including Animal Liberation and The Life You Can Save. He was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine.
