247 trees for a number we live by.
In 2025, 247 Energy planted 247 trees with Life Terra in Portugal. White willow and narrow-leaved ash, estimated to capture around 78 tonnes of CO2 over forty years.
A number that became a gesture
The 247 in our name stands for power that runs around the clock. Working with the foundation Life Terra, we have now planted 247 trees in Portugal, one for the number we are built around.
We are not going to oversell it. Life Terra and its planting partners have put more than 34 million trees in the ground across Europe, so our 247 are a small share of a large effort. They are also real: registered in Life Terra's MapMyTree system and already growing.
White willow and ash, in the right place
The planting follows Life Terra's rule of the right tree in the right place at the right time. Our batch is mostly white willow (Salix alba) and narrow-leaved ash (Fraxinus angustifolia), species chosen to suit the Portuguese site. Life Terra estimates the trees will capture roughly 78 tonnes of CO2 over forty years, landing somewhere between 61 and 95 tonnes as they mature.
Why an energy company plants trees
Most of our impact comes from the day job: supercapacitor storage and on-site power that help industrial customers cut their own emissions. Planting trees does not replace that work, and it is not meant to. It is a direct thing we can do now, in our own name, while the slower job of cleaning up heavy industry carries on. We intend to keep doing both. What are you doing about it?
