Our insetting service

Insetting means that we reduce CO2e emissions within the same sector they are emitted in, which enables us to decarbonise your shipments. We do this by facilitating a fuel switch from fossil fuels to truly sustainable biofuels. Simply put: a volume of sustainable biofuel that reduces the same amount of CO2e emissions as your shipment would have contributed, is fuelled into a vessel that would have normally run on fossil fuel.

Book and Claim chain of custody model

In our approach to carbon insetting, we adopt the Book and Claim chain of custody model, which allows for flexibility in how and where biofuels replace fossil fuels, ensuring the overall reduction in atmospheric carbon is achieved.

This model enables us to substitute fossil fuels at the most efficient times and places within the sector, allowing you to continue running your business as usual. An independent third-party audit ensures that the decarbonisation commitments of our clients are accurately fulfilled.

Emissions 101

The basics
Triangle image

You’ve likely heard of direct and indirect emissions, but do you know the distinction between Scope  1,  2  and  3? When strategising on how to decarbonise, the focus is often on reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions. However, Scope 3 emissions, or emissions as a consequence of business activities, are equally damaging to our climate and some of the most difficult to reduce. 

Scope 1 emissions

These are the emissions from activities under your control, for example fuel combustion on-site, such as gas boilers and fleet vehicles.  

Scope 2 emissions

These are the emissions created by owned or controlled sources. For example to generate the electricity purchased and used by your company. 

Scope 3 emissions

These are emissions from activities of your company occurring from sources you do not own or control. They are usually the greatest share of the carbon footprint, associated with business travel, procurement, and shipments.
