Everyone can make their contribution to climate protection—including you as a visitor to drinktec 2022. That is why we would like to offer you the opportunity to quickly and easily offset your CO₂ footprint at the exhibition. By paying an offset fee for the average CO₂ consumption of our visitors at the last drinktec, you are making a significant contribution to promoting climate protection projects. This offset fee of €6 will be invested in three high-quality myclimate carbon offset projects that meet the highest standards (Gold Standard, Plan Vivo) and, in addition to reducing greenhouse gases, demonstrably make a positive contribution to sustainable development locally and regionally. Let's walk the path to a greener future together.
“Climate change is a global and generation-wide challenge that we must also face as a company. Our exhibition grounds already feature many environmentally friendly facets, from geothermal energy and photovoltaics to large scale greening. As Messe München, we want to strengthen our “green footprint“ and be CO₂ neutral by 2030 at the latest. That's why we're also appealing to our visitors, exhibitors and partners to behave in an environmentally friendly manner and take an important step toward a more sustainable future together with us.“
Stefan Rummel, Managing Director Messe München GmbH
By offsetting your CO₂ consumption by recognized methods via myclimate, you will actively help to protect the climate.
Your offset fee will directly go to three high-quality myclimate carbon offset projects whose development you can follow transparently.
GoGreen Tickets do not consume any additional resources.
As a green visitor, you will draw other visitors’ attention to the importance of climate protection and literally become an ambassador for the myclimate climate protection projects.
Set a good example—for climate protection.
Use our posting suggestion to draw the attention of colleagues, acquaintances and friends to the GoGreen Ticket.

I support GoGreen and offset the carbon footprint of my visit to drinktec Munich from September 12 to 16, 2022.
Offset the carbon footprint of your trade fair visit, too.

In addition to the GoGreen CO₂ Ticket, there will be other opportunities for you to avoid emissions, save raw materials and protect the environment during your visit to drinktec 2022.
The CO₂ emissions are offset in high-quality myclimate carbon offset projects that meet the highest standards (Gold Standard, Plan Vivo) and, in addition to reducing greenhouse gases, demonstrably make a positive contribution to sustainable development locally and regionally. The collected GoGreen ticket fees are distributed to the following international carbon offset projects.
The primary objective of the program is to disseminate water purification systems to low-income households and institutions such as schools, starting in Uganda. Carbon finance is used to give households access to the clean water technologies thereby improving the livelihoods and health conditions of thousands of people and at the same time reducing CO₂ emissions by reducing the consumption of non-renewable firewood and charcoal.
Situation without project:
Water purification by boiling with non-renewable wood and charcoal
Yearly CO₂ reduction:
61.399 t
Your support contributes to the following 8 Sustainable Development Goals:
SDG1—No poverty
Over 130 tons of firewood can be saved by a school on average per water filtration system.
SDG 3—Good Health
More than 210,000 pupils benefit from the installed systems.
SDG 4—Quality Education
Thanks to clean drinking water, pupils are ill less often and can attend school more regularly.
SDG 6—Clean water and sanitary facilities
One school can treat 457,000 litres of drinking water per year.
SDG 12—Responsible consumption and production
354 water filter tanks and water treatment filters have been installed so far.
SDG 13—Climate Actions
50,000 tonnes of CO₂ are saved per year.
SDG 15—Life on land
1,266 hectares of forest saved from deforestation.
SDG 17—Partnerships for the goals
Development, transfer and distribution of environmentally friendly water treatment technology.
The installation of domestic biogas plants substitutes the use of firewood and chemical fertilizers in the Karnataka region. In addition to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and less degradation of the forest people directly profit from higher crop yields and less indoor pollution. Moreover, the project will also reduce methane emissions from cattle manure.
Situation without project:
Using firewood and kerosene for cooking
Yearly CO₂ reduction:
45,650 t
Your support contributes to the following 7 Sustainable Development Goals:
SDG 1—No poverty
The use of slurry (organic fertilizer produced by the farmers themselves) helps to prevent small farmers from becoming dependent on chemical fertilizers, thus improving their families’ financial situation.
SDG 2—Zero hunger
To date, the biogas systems have produced 301,534 tons of organic fertilizer and thus reduced 6,130 tons of chemical fertilizer, thus contributing to sustainable agriculture.
SDG 3—Good health and well-being
50,000 persons have benefited from better air quality since the start of the project.
SDG 4—Quality education
Because the time-consuming collection of firewood is no longer necessary, children have more time to go to school and do homework. This gives each family almost 1.2 hours of additional time per day.
SDG 5—Gender equity
Only women are entitled to buy and own a biogas plant. This helps to level out the balance of power in the family and to strengthen the position of the women.
SDG 7—Affordable and clean energy
8,033 biogas digesters have been installed since the start of the project.
SDG 8—Decent work and economic growth
22 permanent jobs have been created for the local population and more than 8,000 people have been trained in the use of biogas plants.
SDG 12—Responsible consumption and production
The recycling of organic waste contributes to sustainable waste management.
SDG 13—Climate actions
Each biogas biodigester avoids 6.5 t CO₂ and reduced wood consumption by 3.7 t per year.
SDG 15—Life on land
To date, the program has reduced wood consumption by 221,054 tons and has thus saved 3,028 hectares of forest from deforestation.
SDG 17—Partnerships for the goals
The program enables the transfer, dissemination and implementation of environmentally friendly technologies in India.
This carbon offset project produces ceramic water purifiers locally, thereby providing the rural population in Laos with reliable access to clean drinking water. Reduced deforestation results in lower carbon dioxide levels and local forest ecosystems are protected. The risk of diarrhoea is reduced and the economic situation of households is improved. The project also lowers the volume of air pollution to which women and children are exposed indoors.
Situation without project:
Water is purified through boiling, using firewood and charcoal which are not from sustainable sources
Yearly CO₂ reduction:
25,000 t
Your support contributes to the following 5 Sustainable Development Goals:
SDG 3—Good health and well-being
More than 200,000 people reported on noticing less smoke in their kitchen after having installed the water filter.
SDG 6—Clean water and sanitary facilities
To date, 70,181 water purifiers have been sold and improved the access to clean drinking water for more than 400,000 people.
SDG 8—Decent work and economic growth
74 full- time jobs have been created, including 25 for women.
SDG 13—Climate actions
Thanks to the water purifiers, a certified 179,615 tons of carbon dioxide have been saved to date.
SDG 15—Life on land
Thanks to the use of water purifiers, around 80,000 tons of firewood are saved per year.
The international initiative with Swiss roots is one of the world's quality leaders in voluntary CO₂ compensation measures. With its high-quality projects, myclimate drives measurable climate protection and sustainable development worldwide. Emissions are reduced by replacing fossil energy resources with renewable energy, and by implementing local afforestation measures with smallholder farmers and energy-efficient technologies. Experienced consultants help companies in the field of CO₂ and resource management identify and develop potential. myclimate’s more than 140 climate protection projects so far have helped save 9.65 million tons of CO2, plant 13.7 million trees and create 16,600 jobs.
