About the partnership
Berlin, Germany – February 2026 – As European companies face growing pressure to back their climate claims with credible, verifiable carbon removal, demand for high-integrity local credits is rising. Senken and Ocell are pleased to announce a partnership that brings Ocell's data-driven, 100 % ex-post European forest carbon removal credits into Senken's portfolio.
Ocell develops high-quality carbon credits from European forests that are 100% ex-post, fully data-backed and technology-driven, delivering lasting climate impact. The company works with professional forestry operations to shift management from timber production toward carbon storage, extending rotation periods, converting monocultures to climate-resilient mixed forests, and increasing long-term sequestration. According to IPCC calculations, the combination of extended forest storage and use in durable wood products means each tonne removed takes over 100 years to fully return to the atmosphere.
What distinguishes Ocell is the rigor of its measurement and verification. The company built a market-leading digital MRV platform, Dynamic Forest, which uses aerial imagery, LiDAR, and AI to create digital twins of every forest. All project data, including aerial photos, carbon metrics, forest activities, is published transparently on the platform. The methodology was developed with external consultants and Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University, and every project undergoes independent third-party audits by TÜV. Ocell currently manages over 800,000 hectares of forest across Europe and has secured numerous offtake agreements.
"Our clients are building portfolios they need to defend to boards, auditors, and increasingly to regulators," said Adrian Wons, CEO of Senken. "Ocell brings the kind of transparency and measurement rigor that European enterprise buyers are looking for. We're glad to have them in our portfolio."
"At ocell we build the tech that saves our planet. With our nature-based credits we are showing that credits can be as rigorous as any engineered solution," said David Dohmen, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Ocell. "Working with Senken means reaching the enterprise buyers who understand that quality matters, and who need credits that hold up to scrutiny."
For companies looking to add European forest removal to their climate strategy, Senken now offers access to Ocell's credits as part of its curated portfolio.
