UK Fuels launches carbon offsetting scheme for fleet operators

11 April 2022/Categories: Freight Forwarding, Net-Zero


UK Fuels launches a new service that can offset 100 percent of the carbon its fuel card customers currently release from the 1 billion litres of fuel they use each year.

 

UK Fuels has partnered with UK-government endorsed carbon offsetting company Forest Carbon to invest in renewable energy projects. Businesses which take up the new service can reduce their carbon footprint and support their social and environmental responsibilities, while avoiding the risk of wasted investment in ineffective offsetting schemes.

 

As well as UK environmental projects, investment are to be made around the world in renewable energy projects including wind, hydro, waste-to-energy and solar power; chosen for their ability to achieve immediate carbon neutrality.

 

Companies will pay 1 pence on each litre of standard fuel, which will be invested by both Forest Carbon and UK Fuels. Carbon footprints will be calculated using UK government conversion factors that correlate litres of diesel and petrol to the equivalent emissions in tonnes of CO2.

 

Jonathan Haseler, Managing Director, UK Fuels commented:

 “As a company, our whole strategy is now focused on planning for sustainable travel in the future. This includes investing in electric vehicle charging solutions both on and off road, as well as supporting our customers on their energy transition journey. If every customer takes up Radius Future, together they could accelerate Britain towards the goal of net zero emissions by 2050.”
