A first step towards reducing your carbon footprint

Here at Northern Energy, we’re excited to be offering carbon offsetting to our oil customers. But this is just the start of things to come, as we’re looking forward to introducing more ways to be greener in the near future. So, watch this space! 

Why carbon offsetting matters

  • 1 It lets you balance your carbon footprint
    Carbon offsetting makes a positive contribution to the environment, compensating for your carbon emissions.
  • 2 You’re supporting sustainable projects
    We fund projects on your behalf around the world which can change the lives of whole communities.
  • 3 You’re helping combat global climate change
    Offsetting plays a vital role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the most cost-effective and economically-efficient manner.

What is Carbon Offsetting?

It’s the internationally recognised way to compensate for the carbon dioxide emissions you produce by funding sustainable projects. This can be by planting trees, funding windfarms or helping villages around the world be more fuel efficient.

Putting you and the environment first

“Everyone at Northern Energy is excited to be offering this great service. We always put our customers first in everything we do and now we can help them be greener without having to lift a finger. We do it all for them.”
Stuart Illingworth, Managing Director.

How much does it cost?

Unlike others out there, we don’t charge any extra to carbon offset. It’s all part of the service for our Premium Heating Oil and LPG customers.

Is it hard to carbon offset?

No, it couldn’t be easier. Working with our approved partner, we offset the carbon your fuel produces on your behalf. You don’t have to do anything. Just enjoy heating your home as always.
