Our Carbon Offset Projects

Carbon Footprint supports carbon offsetting projects internationally, to help address the threat posed by climate change.

Our balanced programme includes support of renewable energy, energy efficiency and carbon sequestration. In addition we have an account to retire credits from the European Climate Exchange (ECX), and can purchase CER credits / projects for our larger customers.

Clean / Renewable Energy

We support alternative and renewable energy projects such as wind, solar and biomass. Currently Carbon Footprint is support the following projects

• Wind Power Generation in India

• Hydropower Generation in South America

• Fuel Switch from fossil fuels to agricultural waste in Africa

Tree Planting / Sequestration

Sequestration reduces carbon dioxide emissions by taking it out of the atmosphere. Tree planting is a well-known form type of sequestration, and we are also appraising new technologies to “bury” CO2 that are showing good potential. Currently Carbon Footprint is supporting tree planting activities in Kenya and UK.

Energy Efficiency

We also support projects which aim to improve energy efficiency around the world and hence reduce carbon emissions.

Retirement of Carbon Credits

Carbon Footprint has an account to enable us to retire European Union Allowances (EUAs), on the European Climate Exchange.

This service is currently only available to organisations wanting to offset large volumes of CO2. Contact us if you are a business that would prefer to offset by retirement of EUAs.

Certified Emission Reductions (CERs)

Carbon Footprint can also source Certified Emission Reductions (CERs). Companies in countries with Kyoto targets can undertake Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in those without Kyoto targets. Following a verification process such projects are credited with CER.

Carbon Footprint can source CERs to offset emissions for businesses / large organisations. Often the entire project is bought as it comes to market. There is however a continuous CER pipeline, so Carbon Footprint can source your CER to-order. You can choice between Renewable Energy Projects and Energy Efficiency projects.

Contact us if you would like to offset >10,000 tonnes CO2 through a CER programme.
