Why carbon offsetting matters
Frequently Asked Questions
We all need to do our bit if we’re to hit the UK government’s net zero emissions target of 2050, and carbon offsetting is one way in which we can all improve our carbon footprint.
Carbon offsetting helps lower carbon emissions by a measurable and verifiable amount by funding sustainable projects around the world that either reduce carbon dioxide or absorb it. It’s the internationally recognised way to compensate for the emissions you produce by funding projects around the world. To reduce your carbon footprint, simply receive your usual LPG refill and we’ll automatically fund climate solutions to offset your fuel usage.

You have our assurance that carbon offsetting is included with every delivery of LPG we make, and at no additional cost to you. It’s one of the valuable benefits we offer as part of our LPG Package.
We’re working in partnership with Carbon Footprint Ltd. They are certified under the Quality Assurance Standard (QAS) and originally set up by the UK Government. Now run as an independent not-for-profit organisation, they are independently audited to a rigorous 40-point plan annually.
This is the great thing about carbon offsetting with Northern Energy. We are not charging customers we supply with Premium Heating Oil or LPG anything extra. It’s all part of the service, as we all need to do our bit towards hitting net zero by 2050.
