Combined with measures to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions, carbon offsetting allows you to compensate for your remaining carbon footprint.
Whether you wish to carbon offset your red diesel, white diesel, GTL or kerosene, you can purchase carbon credits which allow you to invest in global projects. These initiatives give an equivalent net reduction of emissions, ensuring there’s no net increase in global greenhouse gas emissions.
The projects can include tree planting, building wind farms that replace coal-fired power plants, funding developing communities and energy efficiency improvements.
All credits are selected from global projects which are independently certified to Gold Standard, Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), CDM (United Nations Climate Change Carbon Mechanism) or CCBS (The Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance) standards which are the globally recognised benchmarks for carbon offsets.
With every fuel order, whether that’s gas oil, white diesel, industrial heating oil, kerosene or GTL, you can offset the associated carbon dioxide emissions that you can’t avoid or reduce. To do this, you can purchase the equivalent amount of carbon credits (independently verified emission reductions) to compensate for them.
Carbon offset fuel doesn’t require any modifications to your engines or special arrangements to use the fuel. There is no difference to the fuel itself; instead, the little extra you pay goes towards funding carbon-reducing initiatives across the world, effectively counteracting the carbon you release by using the fuel.
