Project presentation
This hedgerow project on 225 hectares in the municipality of Pissy-Pôville follows the Haies method: planting and sustainably managing hedges stores carbon in wood, roots and soil. Labelled under the Label Bas-Carbone, it is expected to sequester 585 tonnes of CO₂ over its duration: these are expected tonnes, recognised after verification.
Environmental & social impacts
Beyond its climate effect, each project acts on the environment and the local area. Here is the assessment of this project, dimension by dimension.
Climate
70%
This project is expected to sequester 585 tonnes of CO₂ over its duration: these are expected tonnes, recognised after verification. The Haies method counts the carbon stored by hedges in wood, roots and soil.
Biodiversity
Moderate impact65%
Hedges provide habitat and movement routes for farmland wildlife: birds, insects, small mammals.
Water
Significant impact76%
Hedges slow down runoff and help water infiltrate the soil.
Soils
Moderate impact66%
By slowing runoff and wind, hedges limit erosion of neighbouring soils; the soil beneath the hedge builds up organic matter.
Socio-economic
Significant impact78%
This project of 225 ha in Pissy-Pôville relies on planting and maintaining hedges on the farm.
Sustainable Development Goals
The 17 SDGs are a global framework defined by the United Nations to build a sustainable future by 2030. This project directly contributes to 4 of them. Here's why.
6
Clean Water and Sanitation
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water
Why this project: By slowing runoff, hedges limit the transfer of soil into watercourses.
8
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth
Why this project: This project contributes to this goal through the low-carbon practices it implements under the Label Bas-Carbone.
12
Responsible Consumption and Production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Why this project: The hedges are managed under a sustainable management plan for the whole project duration.
13
Climate Action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Why this project: This is the primary impact: this project aims to sequester 585 tons of CO₂ over its lifetime under the Label Bas-Carbone framework (expected reductions, recognised after verification). Every ton removed from the atmosphere contributes to fighting climate change.

Label Bas-Carbone method · Hedges
Planting and sustainable upkeep of rural hedges. Beyond sequestration, hedges create ecological corridors, protect soils against erosion and regulate water.
The Label Bas-Carbone is the official framework of the French Ministry of Ecological Transition for emission reduction projects carried out in France. A project is labelled on the basis of its application, following a method approved by the ministry. Its emission reductions are then verified by an independent auditor before being recognised by the ministry.
How it works:
1. The project owner submits a file describing the reference scenario (without project) and the project scenario.
2. The difference between the two scenarios gives the net emission reductions, expressed in tons of CO₂ equivalent.
3. An independent auditor verifies the data in the field and validates the calculations.
4. The ministry issues the Low-Carbon Label and carbon credits are issued.
5. The project is monitored for 15 years with periodic verifications.
