Frequently Asked Questions
About Immurio
What does 'Immurio' mean?
Our name comes from the English word 'immure', which means to enclose or wall in. This is what we want to do with all the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere!
The word is pronounced im-MYOOR-yo. Now you know! 🤓
Is Immurio a B Corporation?
Immurio is not a B Corporation at this time. However, we are open to considering this designation in the future. As a relatively young company, we are currently focused on establishing our presence and impact in the climate action space.
B Corporation certification is a valuable recognition for companies committed to social and environmental responsibility, and it aligns with our mission. As we continue to grow and evolve, we will explore opportunities to obtain this status to further demonstrate our dedication to sustainability and ethical business practices.
Is Immurio a non-profit organization?
No, Immurio is not a non-profit organization. We operate as a for-profit corporation. This structure provides us with certain advantages, such as the ability to attract funding in the future. Being a for-profit entity allows us to access resources and funding streams that can significantly enhance our capacity to support climate projects and make a positive impact.
While we are a for-profit organization, our primary goal remains to allocate a substantial portion of our revenue to fund climate projects and drive meaningful change.
How can I contact the Immurio team?
Have questions or feedback? We'd love to hear from you! Email us at support@immurio.com or visit immurio.com/contact. We're a small team, but we read every message and typically respond within 1-2 business days.
Where is Immurio available?
Immurio is currently available in the United States on both iOS and Android. We're starting with US-specific impact data (emissions reduced and money saved) to ensure our calculations are accurate. We plan to expand to other regions in the future as we grow.
Contact us if you'd like to use Immurio where you live.
What is Immurio?
Immurio is a mobile app that helps you fight climate change through simple daily challenges while actually saving you money. Think of it as "Climate Wordle" - everyone gets the same daily challenge, creating a shared community experience around sustainable living. Small actions add up when we do them together!
How Immurio Works
What is the Climate Journey?
Your Climate Journey is a visual representation of your progress toward becoming a climate champion:
- Complete actions to unlock milestone achievements
- Each milestone represents a meaningful amount of carbon prevented
- Track your journey from beginner to climate champion
- See exactly how your daily actions add up to significant impact
It's designed to show you how small, consistent actions create meaningful change over time.
How do you calculate my environmental impact?
We calculate impact using data from EPA standards and sustainability research:
- Each action has a baseline impact range (CO₂ reduced and money saved)
- As you provide more information through optional calculators, we refine these estimates
- Your specific location, household size, and energy sources affect calculations
- The system gets smarter about your specific impact over time
We focus on accuracy without overwhelming you with complex carbon accounting. The result is clear, credible numbers you can trust.
How does the Climate Action List work?
Your Climate Action List is your personalized collection of eco-friendly habits:
- Add up to 20 actions from our curated selection
- Complete them anytime (unlike Daily Challenges which expire)
- Each action includes recommended frequency (daily, weekly, monthly)
- See both financial savings and carbon impact for each action
- Watch your cumulative impact grow as you complete them
The List helps you build lasting habits while the Daily Challenge creates our shared community experience.
How do I complete a challenge?
Completing a challenge takes just three steps:
- Check today's challenge on your home screen
- Take the suggested action (usually takes 2-15 minutes)
- Tap "Mark Complete" in the app
That's it! The app automatically adds your impact to both your personal total and our community impact counter. Soon we'll add optional photo verification to make your progress even more satisfying to track.
What are Daily Challenges?
Daily Challenges are simple climate actions everyone in the Immurio community tackles together - think of it as "Climate Wordle." Each day, you get one new challenge designed to both save you money and reduce your carbon footprint. You have 24 hours to complete it, and our community impact grows with every person who joins in. Just clear actions with real benefits.

Immurio Premium
Is Immurio a rewards app?
Immurio isn't a rewards app. We're focused on helping you form sustainable habits while saving real money. Rather than offering points or discounts on products, we show you exactly how much your actions save in dollars and environmental impact. The reward is the actual money staying in your pocket and the real climate impact you create.
Do you offer any discounts or promotions?
Yes! During special events like Earth Month, we often offer free premium access or discounted subscriptions. We also run occasional promotions throughout the year. Keep an eye on your notifications and email for these special offers.
Can I downgrade from Premium to the free version?
Absolutely. You can downgrade anytime from your profile settings. You'll continue enjoying premium features until the end of your current billing period, then automatically switch to the free version with no interruption to your climate journey or saved data.
How do I upgrade to Premium?
Tap the "Go Premium" button in the side drawer or from the impact screen. You'll see available plans and can complete your purchase using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit card. Your subscription will activate instantly, unlocking all premium features across all your devices.
How much does Premium cost?
Premium is available for $9.99 monthly or $79.99 yearly (saving you over 33% compared to monthly). We're still fine-tuning our pricing to deliver maximum value while supporting our mission of making climate action accessible.

- Exact savings calculations with detailed per-action calculators

Climate Impact & Data
How often are new actions added?
We're starting with a carefully selected set of high-impact actions that deliver the best balance of environmental benefit and financial savings.
As our community grows, we'll expand our action library based on user feedback and seasonal relevance. Stay tuned. Your suggestions help shape what comes next!
Where do you get your climate data from?
Our emissions and savings calculations come from scientifically verified sources including EPA data, peer-reviewed research, and our sustainability consultants.
We work with climate experts to ensure our impact numbers are both accurate and relatable. When research sources conflict, we choose conservative estimates to avoid overstating impact.
Does Immurio offer carbon offsets?
Not currently. We're focused on helping you reduce your existing carbon footprint through simple, money-saving actions first.
We believe in starting with direct emissions reductions before exploring offsets. That said, we're exploring thoughtfully curated offset opportunities for future versions of the app.
How do I know my actions are making a difference?
Every little bit counts! When you complete challenges, your personal impact counter tracks CO2 prevented and money saved. You'll reach milestone achievements on your Climate Journey as your impact grows.
Remember: your individual actions, combined with thousands of others taking the same challenge, create meaningful change. That's the power of moving together.
How does Immurio calculate potential savings?
We partner with sustainability experts to calculate both financial and environmental impacts for each action. Savings are presented as ranges (like $5-15/year) because everyone's situation is different.
As you use the app and provide more details about your household, our estimates become more personalized to your specific circumstances.
How do you verify that actions are completed?
Currently, actions work on an honor system - we trust our climate champions to complete challenges honestly. After all, the person who benefits most from these actions is you!
In the future, we'll add photo verification to make tracking your impact even more satisfying. Our challenges are specifically designed to be visually verifiable.
