However, a lot of CO2 is still emitted during the generation of that electricity. Green Caravan's mission is to make electric charging 100% fossil-free. Now, not only by 2050. Green Caravan accomplishes this with its own charging card, app, and recently, its own grid-independent fast charging station. > ![](https://www.datocms-assets.com/119351/1708768440-ferry-tap.png?auto=format\&w=50\&ar=1:1\&dpr=2\&fit=crop\&crop=faces\&bg=089B54) > > *Early investors* like Jasper and Jozien (No Dodos) enable us to develop new technology and lead the *transition* to the era of fossil-free electric charging. > > Ferry TapFounderGreen Caravan **No Dodos *****invests***** in Green Caravan to *****accelerate***** the transition to fossil-free electric charging and provides advice to increase and certify the impact.** ![Opening of Green Caravan's first fossil-free charge station](https://www.datocms-assets.com/119351/1708626123-green-caravan-opening-chargepoint.webp?auto=format%2Ccompress\&q=80\&w=1280\&ar=1%3A1\&fit=crop) ## Change requires *investment* For technical innovation and rapid growth, *money is needed*. Green Caravan has taken all major steps in developing its own software and data models. The number of charging card and app users grew by 40% month-on-month in 2023. And since the end of 2023, the first fossil-free fast charging station in the Netherlands has been operational. *A milestone*! For the future growth of Green Caravan and for more 100% fossil-free charging stations, more capital is needed.

Founded as a cooperative (similar to No Dodos), Green Caravan is owned by its members through easily *tradable certificates*. Through the sharefunding platform Eyevestor, anyone can purchase available Green Caravan certificates and invest in Green Caravan. This is what we at No Dodos have done, and so can you [invest in Green Caravan](https://www.eyevestor.com/green-caravan). *Full disclosure: Jasper, co-founder of No Dodos, is also a co-founder of Green Caravan. The mission of Green Caravan aligns fantastically with that of No Dodos. Therefore, the entire No Dodos team has decided to invest in Green Caravan.* ## *Certifying* your impact? Green Caravan is at the forefront of their mission to make electric charging fossil-free with their concept and technology. No Dodos advises Green Caravan on certifying their impact. Curious about the right certification for your company? [Read more about certification](https://www.nododos.nl/api/content/en/our-services.md) ![4 certifications: B Corp, Green Key, Climate Neutral, Great Place To Work](https://www.datocms-assets.com/119351/1708627134-four-certifications.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress\&q=80\&w=1280\&ar=1%3A1\&fit=crop) ## *Changing behavior* with charging advice The energy mix of the electricity grid varies greatly by location and time. At one moment, there is a lot of solar and wind energy. At another moment, gas and coal power plants step in to produce enough electricity. This variability means that electric charging can cause a lot of CO2 emissions. The good news: you can *predict the energy mix*. Green Caravan advises its users to charge at the *most sustainable time of the day*. Users can find the emissions per charging session in the free Green Caravan app. If you also use the Green Caravan charging card, the *CO2 emissions you still produce will be offset* through a partnership with Trees for All. ![Green Caravan charge card and app with advice when to charge](https://www.datocms-assets.com/119351/1708627323-green-caravan-charge-card-and-app.png?auto=format%2Ccompress\&q=80\&w=1280) ## 100% *Fossil-free* charging stations With the charging card and app, Green Caravan is still dependent on the energy mix and emissions from the electricity grid. Green Caravan has developed a concept for grid-independent 100% fossil-free charging hubs where electricity is supplied by local solar panels and biogas from sewage treatment plants. Or as Green Caravan puts it: "*Powered by ☀️ and 💩*". By the end of 2023, Green Caravan opened the first 100% fossil-free charging station in the Netherlands in Echt, Limburg. The concept has been validated, paving the way to open multiple fossil-free charging hubs in 2024. [Keep a close eye on Green Caravan](https://www.greencrvn.com/en/). We are proud that with our investment, the *transition to a fossil-free world* is being accelerated. ![Opening of Green Caravan's first fossil-free charge station](https://www.datocms-assets.com/119351/1708766918-green-caravan-chargehub-opening.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress\&q=80\&w=1280) ![](https://www.datocms-assets.com/119351/1706711012-jasper-moelker.png?auto=format\&w=200\&ar=1:1\&dpr=2\&fit=crop\&crop=faces) ## Need help with your *impact strategy*?
