Yacht Carbon Offset: Navigating Sustainability in the Superyacht Industry
More yacht owners and industry professionals are steering toward sustainability, recognising the need to reduce their environmental impact. Many are now using a pay-as-you-go carbon offset service that allows them to support global carbon reduction projects each time they refuel. This simple, transparent system calculates offset costs based on fuel usage, with no hidden fees.
Yacht Carbon Offset has since its inception in 2008, been dedicated to helping yacht owners, charterers, operators, and industry professionals mitigate the environmental impact of their vessels through high-quality carbon offsetting services while prioritising their client’s privacy.
A Tailored Approach to Carbon Offsetting
Yacht Carbon Offset offers a streamlined, five-step process designed to simplify the journey toward carbon offsetting.
1. Identification: Working with clients to pinpoint emission sources, such as fuel consumption and / or electricity consumption.
2. Calculation: Utilizing bespoke tools to determine the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the activities.
3. Project Selection: Choosing high-quality carbon reduction projects that align with client preferences and contribute to global sustainability efforts. All carbon credits are issued through internationally recognised carbon registries and verified by independent certification bodies.
4. Allocation: Retiring the appropriate amount of carbon credits from international registries to neutralize emissions.
