Making carbon compensation work for your fleet

At Shell Fleet Solutions, we understand the many challenges facing today’s fleets on the road to a lower carbon future, so we are developing a variety of ways to help – from fast, reliable electric vehicle (EV) charging to lower emissions fuels.

Yet however strong your focus on sustainability, your fleet is likely to produce some unavoidable emissions even after adopting new fuels and technology. Mitigating those emissions can play a key role in your low-carbon planning. We have high-quality nature-based solutions, independently verified to determine their carbon impact and their social and biodiversity benefits.

And the Shell Card makes the process simple and cost-effective.

How carbon compensation at Shell works

  • Step 1

    Step 1

    You opt-in to compensate the CO2e emissions from your fleet. Your drivers use the Shell Card to refuel as usual

  • Step 2

    Step 2

    Shell tracks your fleet’s overall fuel consumption and calculates the associated well-to-wheel CO2e emissions

  • Step 3

    Step 3

    Shell offsets these emissions through our global portfolio of nature-based projects

  • Step 4

    Step 4

    Shell will purchase carbon credits equivalent to the amount of your fleet’s emissions and issue a yearly retirement certification confirming that the fuel has been offset. Charges will be applied to your account

If customers choose to drive carbon neutral they will pay a fee for the CO₂e offsets for the emissions from the combustion of the engine (Tank-to-Wheel). Shell will pay for the CO₂e offsets relating to the extraction, refining and distribution of this fuel (Well-to-Tank).
