Project Selection
Yacht Carbon Offset is continually on the lookout for high-quality carbon reduction projects to offer to our clients. The projects we select must meet exacting standards designed to ensure real carbon emission reductions and bring additional benefits to the local communities. All the projects we support undergo review by our expert team and are certified by one of four independent and internationally recognised registries; Gold Standard, Verified Carbon Standard, UNFCCC, or Plan Vivo.
This year we have added 3 new projects to our portfolio:
- Mauritius – Solar Power (Henrietta)
- India – Communities’ Cookstoves (Garo)
- Namibia – Wind Power (Ombepo)
Our clients can select their preferred project to support each carbon offset transaction and, as always, we intend to expand the projects available in 2025.
Environmental Communications & Updates
We do our best to keep you up to date with industry specific environmental updates. In 2024 we explored topics such as The Power of Collaboration, The Environmental Impact of Luxury, Alternative Fuels, and Our View on Greenwashing. All our Articles, along with newsletters and educational presentations, are available on the News Page of our website.
Carbon Offset Resources at Your Disposal
We are pleased to have expanded our services this year to include a specialised carbon offset service for Corporations. In addition to offering offsets tailored for Captains, Yacht Owners, Yacht Managers, Charter Brokers, and Marinas, we now offer a flexible way to counterbalance the environmental footprint of various office activities, covering everything from business travel, to office energy consumption, and employee commutes.
Developing Sustainability in the Industry
Sustainability in the Superyacht Community is rapidly gathering momentum. There is a sense of urgency within the industry to find solutions to the environmental situation. Alongside the growing social awareness of the climate crisis many parts of the world have been subjected to extreme weather conditions. Carbon Offsetting is an important part of the sustainability puzzle and we are proud to be the provider of choice in the superyacht sector.
