Carbon Compensation

For emissions that cannot be avoided or reduced, compensate with quality Carbon Credits
There is no single solution on the road to net-zero. Even after adopting new fuels and technology, your fleet is likely to produce unavoidable emissions. When those emissions cannot be avoided or reduced, they can be compensated using carbon credits. At Shell, we source carbon credits from a diverse portfolio of projects around the world that reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, while delivering improved livelihoods for local communities and better protection for biodiversity. All are rigorously screened and independently verified to give you confidence in their quality.
Benefits for your business
Meet your sustainability commitments
Compensate for unavoidable emissions by investing in projects that use proven methodologies to remove carbon from the atmosphere or avoid emissions that would have otherwise occurred. One carbon credit represents the removal or avoidance of one metric tonne of CO2.
Benefit from a diverse portfolio
Choose from more than 120 screened projects in over 30 countries worldwide. These include seven project types from nature-based solutions such as reforestation and afforestation, to technology-based projects such as providing fuel-efficient cook stoves. We work with projects that also deliver positive impacts on local communities, biodiversity and habitats.
Trust in high quality

Let us help take the complexity out of carbon credits. We have more than 20 years of experience in the carbon markets and over 100 in-house experts, plus a presence in all major emissions trading schemes in the world.
