What Is Carbon Offsetting
• Carbon Offsetting involves buying a volume of Voluntary Carbon Units reflective of a company’s associated carbon emissions
• Offsetting carbon emissions is achieved by funding an equivalent CO2e reduction project elsewhere;
- Carbon Project Developers “sell” Carbon units (credits) to Carbon buyers
- Buyer must then “secure” Carbon Unit on behalf of Fuel Distributor
- And provide certification proving it hasn’t been sold to anyone else
• We do not directly buy land, plant trees or cultivate forests - This is done by existing and well-established Carbon Project Developers
• Carbon Offsetting provides a pragmatic and cost-effective solution for reducing CO2 emissions that can not be otherwise avoided
How Offsetting Works
We only offer Carbon Units certificated to meet the following criteria;
- Additionality; genuinely new projects that are not already financed
- Voluntary; projects that are not required by legislation
- Permanent; projects that are long-term and sufficiently funded
- No incremental emissions; CO2 emissions are not created elsewhere
- Verified; projects that are authenticated to the highest level
