How Carbon Credits Work
Emissions are generated
From our day-to-day activities including driving and more
Credits are purchased
Emissions are calculated and credits are purchased for retiring
Projects are funded
Such as forest protection, peatland conservation and clean energy projects.
Credits are retired
Credits are permanently retired in your name on a public registry, against the estimated emissions for your distance.
Buying a voluntary carbon credit provides an impactful way to compensate for your vehicle's emission.
Your purchase of a voluntary carbon credit creates a direct connection to real projects around the world that protect forests and support local communities..
The nature-based credits that a project issues can provide life changing incomes to rural communities which transform their natural assets, such as a forest, into a revenue generating asset.
This also creates a revenue stream which enables a project to plan with certainty into the future and transform the scale of the investment, therefore contributing to the project's enduring efforts and its permanence.
How Does Net-Hero Offsetting Work
As the leading decarbonisation platform, Net-Hero follows the same principles as mentioned above.
How do we make sure our projects are of the highest quality? We have partnered with one of the leading ratings agencies for the carbon market - BeZero Carbon.
Net-Hero selects credits using independent ratings from BeZero Carbon and published quality criteria. Net-Hero is a shareholder in BeZero Carbon.
And what's more £1 from every tonne offset goes to our chosen charities respectively.
