FAQs

What are carbon credits?
Carbon credits are a mechanism for investing in projects that contribute to reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. This is done by either removing CO2 or avoiding an emission that would otherwise have occurred.
Find out more about compensating for emissions here.
How can I be sure that carbon credits lead to a reduction in carbon emissions?
Shell partners with high quality, global projects. These projects are verified by independent organisations with highest internationally recognised standards which have established processes of checking that the carbon is being neutralised.
A project which has demonstrated CO2 emissions reduction or avoidance is issued ‘carbon credits’ in line with a carbon credit standard. Each project is subject to independent verification from accredited third-party auditing companies before carbon credits are issued.
