Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

We should always strive to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible and avoid a carbon footprint. Carbon offsetting is a way for individuals, businesses, and organizations to take responsibility for their carbon emissions by investing inprojects that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. When we burn fossil fuels like coal oil etc. carbon dioxide and other stored gases are released into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and cause global temperatures to rise leading to climate change. Aids in strengthening coal reduce the effects of climate change by funding projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere or subsidies for reforestation and reforestation efforts that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. By investing in this carbon stabilization project you can help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and slow the rate of climate change. However, it is important to note that sustainability is not a substitute for reducing our carbon emissions in the first place.

Climatepilot.com is a Business-to-Consumer platform. Therefore our calculations are based using averages in calculating carbon emissions produced by a particular mode of transport or activity. We believe in simple methods. For Corporate Clients we calculate a Corporate Carbon Footprint according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol). This is always a individual calculation. A Corporate Carbon Footprint is always the first step towards carbon neutrality and shows your potential climate risks within your company and is the best strategy for a carbon reduction strategy.
