Our Fuel Mix
Carbon credits adhere to a strict set of standards. By partnering with South Pole, Flogas have ensured your carbon credits are meeting these standards, every one of the projects we support complies with either the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) or Gold Standard (GS) which are approved under the ICROA code of best practise.
Flogas will publish a notification on Flogas.ie of the carbon offsets purchased in the previous year
The projects we have chosen to support covers a range of climate issues including protecting forests and its inhabitants, supporting vulnerable communities with efficient cooking equipment, waste water treatment plants to protect our oceans and bodies of water, and investing in renewable energy projects such as wind and hydro power.
With the help of our partner, South Pole we buy independently verified carbon credits from registered projects.
- Sign up to our Flogas carbon neutral price plan today
- We will calculate how much gas you have consumed at the end to the year and equate that to carbon impact ( 11,000kwh = approx. 2 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide)
- We will purchase carbon credits on your behalf to balance that carbon impact.
- These are used to invest in sustainable projects around the world
- The projects reduce or capture equivalent CO2 emissions that otherwise would have been released into the atmosphere.
Carbon credits are achieved by investing in projects elsewhere in the world that give an equivalent reduction of emissions by reducing or absorbing carbon dioxide.
Partnering with South Pole, a global leader in sustainability solutions, 100% of the natural gas our customers use on Flogas Green Future Gas or Dual fuel price plans is carbon offset through audited carbon reduction projects in developing countries. The projects we invest in adhere to the internationally recognised Gold Standard (GS) and the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) criteria. For more detail on carbon credits and South Pole click here.
