How can we help?

Carbon offsetting is a mechanism that allows individuals and companies to compensate for their unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions. When you buy a credit, you are funding projects that reduce or remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere—like reforestation or renewable energy.

One credit equals one tonne of CO₂ removed. When you purchase from us, we 'retire' that credit in your name, meaning it is permanently taken off the market so no one else can claim it.

We provide a free Carbon Calculator on our website. Simply input details about your lifestyle—such as how often you fly, your car usage, and your home energy bills. The tool estimates your annual emissions in tonnes of CO₂e (Carbon Dioxide Equivalent). You can then purchase offsets to match that amount, achieving 'net zero' status for the year.

Every project on our store is vetted for quality. The 'right' one depends on your personal values. If you care about biodiversity, look for reforestation projects. If you care about community development, look for cookstove projects in developing nations. Each product page lists the project's location, verification standard, and co-benefits.

No, you can checkout as a guest. However, creating a free account allows you to track your offsetting history, download past certificates, and manage monthly subscription plans if you wish to offset regularly.

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay. All transactions are processed securely via Stripe, ensuring your financial details are encrypted and safe.

Yes, absolutely. You can cancel your monthly offset plan at any time directly from your account settings without any penalties. Your offsetting will stop at the end of the current billing cycle, and you will not be charged further.

Yes. Immediately after purchase, you will receive an email with your order receipt and a personalized PDF Retirement Certificate. This certificate includes the specific Registry ID, the project name, and the exact tonnage retired, serving as proof of your climate action.

Because carbon credits are 'retired' (permanently cancelled on the registry) the moment you buy them, we cannot resell them or offer refunds once the transaction is complete. Please double-check your order before confirming. If you experience a technical error with the payment, please contact our support team immediately.

A carbon credit is a tradeable certificate. One credit represents the right to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide (or equivalent greenhouse gas). Projects that avoid or remove emissions generate these credits. When you buy one, you are taking that emission allowance off the market.

We only sell credits verified by leading standards like Verra VCS or Gold Standard. These organizations check that the project's emissions reductions are real, measurable, permanent, and additional. We provide you with a unique Registry ID so you can verify the retirement on the public registry yourself.

Both are top-tier verification bodies. Verra VCS is the world's most widely used standard. Gold Standard places a heavier emphasis on 'co-benefits,' ensuring projects also contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goals (like improving health or creating jobs).

Our portfolio rotates, but we typically offer UK-based woodland creation (Reforestation), efficient cookstoves in Africa (Community Health), and Renewable Energy projects (Wind/Solar) in developing nations. We source these via the Carbonmark marketplace to ensure liquidity and transparency.

Absolutely. We do not pool funds into a generic pot. When you buy a specific product (e.g., 'UK Tree Planting'), your funds are allocated specifically to credits from that project portfolio. You have full control over the type of project you wish to support.

During checkout, simply enter the recipient's name and email address in the designated fields. You can also add a personalized message. The retirement certificate will be generated in their name, making them the legal owner of the offset.

Yes. Once the order is processed, the certificate is automatically emailed to the recipient. If you prefer to print it out yourself to hand over in person, you can download the PDF from the confirmation page.

Log in to your Offset Relief account and navigate to the 'My Account' section. Here you will see a history of all your purchases. Click on any order to re-download the PDF certificate or view the specific Registry IDs associated with that purchase.

Please email us at support@offsetrelief.com with the subject line 'Delete Account'. We will process your request within 30 days in accordance with UK GDPR regulations. Note that your historical carbon retirement records (which are legally required to remain on the registry) are immutable.

We store only essential data: your name, email, and purchase history. We use this to process orders and send you your certificates. We never sell your data to third parties. For full details, please review our Privacy Policy in the website footer.
