Carbon Offsetting
Offset Your Carbon Footprint
Offset Carbon Emissions: Our Initiative
At Flogas, we understand the pressure that businesses face when it comes to managing their carbon impact – particularly with tightening environmental legislation at play.
Our Carbon Offsetting initiative means businesses can switch on the carbon savings straight away.
Not only does carbon offsetting let you compensate for 100% of your gas carbon emissions, but it also provides much-needed support to sustainability projects that directly benefit the environment.
If you’re considering offsetting your business’ gas carbon emissions, our team of experts is here to help – and we’ll manage the whole process for you.
What is Carbon Offsetting?
Carbon offsetting is an internationally recognised way for businesses to compensate for their unavoidable carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. It is done by funding sustainability projects that deliver equivalent carbon savings.
Providing ‘carbon finance’ in this way allows businesses to reduce their overall carbon and environmental impact. Before offsetting, Flogas always encourages businesses to reduce their emissions where possible.
This can be achieved by switching from oil to gas to help decarbonise your heat and energy usage.
How does it work?
Businesses purchase carbon credits based on their gas consumption, which in turn are used to offset unavoidable emissions created during their day-to-day operations. Each carbon credit supports an environmental project by capturing or reducing one equivalent tonne of CO2e that otherwise would not be captured.
Carbon offsetting benefits:
At Flogas, we’re so convinced by the benefits of carbon offsetting that we’re doing it too.
As part of our 2040 Vision to build a lower-carbon future, we’re offsetting all our Level 1 and Level 2 CO2 emissions. We’ll be reducing our environmental impact year on year.
The Benefits of Carbon Offsetting
Our projects:
As part of our Carbon Offsetting Initiative, we’ve chosen a selection of verified carbon mitigation projects for our customers to support.
Examples include:
Amayo wind power, Nicaragua
The project displaces old, fuel-based technology, increasing the supply of electricity and reducing rolling blackouts in the country. The enhanced reliability of the supply has improved living conditions, reduced business interruptions, stimulated the economy and boosted employment.
Hubei, Pankou Hydro, China
This hydropower project uses water from a local river to generate clean electricity. This reduces the country’s dependence on fossil fuels, provides skilled and non-skilled jobs for locals, and improves the local environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Nongyai wastewater treatment, Thailand
This project helps to reduce Thailand‘s dependence on fossil fuels by providing a local source of clean, renewable energy.
Choosing to carbon offset is yet another step in reducing the impact the park has on the environment.
