First mobility app that generates carbon offsets, ever.
Cowlines is the first mobility app ever to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions resulting from changes in commuting behaviour from end users, to generate verifiable carbon offsets.
Thanks to Greenlines Technology's proprietary modal shift optimization GHG quantification methodology, Cowlines automatically quantifies the environmental impact of every trip, and generates verifiable GHG emission reductions. Since 2019, Cowlines generates carbon voluntary carbon offsets across North America.
