Understanding Carbon Offset Projects

With a target to achieve 'net zero' carbon emissions by 2050, it's in the interest of individuals and companies alike to help balance the volume of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) released and the amount removed from the atmosphere to create a net zero equilibrium - that's where carbon offset projects come in.

Rapid action is required to halve global emissions in the next decade, and in turn reach net zero by 2050. In response, offsetting helps to compensate for your emissions by funding equivalent CO2 saving elsewhere and balancing your own carbon footprint.

At Mabanaft, we make this process easy. If you are already signed up to our Mabalive Portal, simply tick the Carbon Offset box when placing your fuel order and we'll ensure an investment is made to protect and fund numerous verified carbon offset projects.

These are global projects that cover a range of renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources. They include:

• Hydro Electric
• Wind Power
• Solar Energy
• Wind Farms
• Tree Planting
• Forest Conservation

With benefits that go beyond GHG reductions, carbon offset projects have the added potential to improve community employment opportunities, contribute to habitat conservation and improve air quality depending on the project type.

Stronger Together

Mabanaft participates and invests in sustainable companies and projects across Europe to help raise awareness of the environmental impact caused by energy extraction. These collaborations cover multiple industries and energy types.

• Tree-Nation
• The Eden Project
• Aquaventus
• P2XEurope
• Efuel Alliance

Since supporting Tree-Nation, Mabanaft has planted 23,476 new plantings and reforested almost ten hectares of forest.

We have been supporting Eden Projects throughout Madagascar since 2007. These particular projects have seen over 16 million mangrove trees successfully planted in remote areas.
