About Olive Gaea
Olive Gaea is a Dubai-based climate technology company that helps organisations measure, reduce and offset their carbon emissions. Its platform combines carbon accounting with access to climate projects, aiming to make it easier for businesses to act on their sustainability goals.
Many companies in the UAE and the wider region have set targets to cut emissions or reach net zero, but they often struggle with the first step: understanding how much carbon they produce and where it comes from. Carbon accounting involves collecting data on energy use, travel, supply chains and other activities, then converting it into emissions using recognised methods.
Olive Gaea's platform supports this process, helping organisations calculate their footprint and track changes over time. Clear data makes it possible to identify where emissions can be reduced, such as by improving energy efficiency, switching to cleaner energy or changing procurement choices.
For emissions that cannot yet be eliminated, the platform provides access to carbon offset projects, such as reforestation, renewable energy or other climate initiatives. Offsets allow companies to compensate for remaining emissions, although reductions remain the priority in credible climate strategies.
Transparency and verification are important in offsetting. Buyers need confidence that projects are genuine and deliver real climate benefits, and platforms that provide information on project standards and verification can help build that trust.
The company serves businesses of different sizes, as well as events and organisations that want to reduce their environmental impact. Sustainability reporting requirements are increasing, making accurate emissions data more important for companies.
The UAE hosted COP28 in 2023 and has committed to net zero by 2050, and the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment and financial regulators have encouraged organisations to measure and disclose emissions.
The voluntary carbon market has grown rapidly, and Dubai and Abu Dhabi have both launched initiatives related to carbon trading.
Olive Gaea combines measurement and action in one climate platform, and Startups UAE lists it among Dubai's climate-tech startups.
