Offsetting with the Shell Fleet Navigator or Shell Fleet Plus card and enabling your fleet to drive carbon neutral can play a key role in your low carbon planning, allowing you to offset unavoidable carbon emissions in a simple and cost-effective way.
We understand the many challenges today’s fleets face on the road to a lower carbon future. Whether you’re just starting to consider alternative fuels or already have electric vehicles, your fleet will produce emissions that are just unavoidable. And that’s where our new carbon offsetting service can help.
It's easy; sign-up and your fleet can drive carbon neutral, simply by using the Shell Fleet Navigator or Shell Fleet Plus card. Shell takes care of the rest, offsetting your fleet's unavoidable carbon emissions through the purchase of carbon credits from a portfolio of carefully chosen nature-based projects – such as forest developments or grassland preservation projects – that capture and store carbon from the atmosphere.
You don’t even have to change the way you work – Shell automatically calculates your lifecycle carbon emissions and offsets these through Shell’s global portfolio of nature-based solutions projects.

It is important to note that as of May 5, 2020, Shell’s operating plans and budgets do not reflect Shell’s net-zero emissions ambition. Shell’s aim is that, in the future, its operating plans and budgets will change to reflect this movement towards its new net-zero emissions ambition. However, these plans and budgets need to be in step with the movement towards a net-zero emissions economy within society and among Shell’s customers.

There are several advantages to offsetting the CO2 emissions of your fleet with Shell:
The Darkwoods Forest Carbon Project is an initiative of the Nature Conservancy of Canada that markets carbon credits generated from the Darkwoods Conservation Area.
The Cordillera Azul project protects up to 1.3 million hectares of threatened rainforest habitat, safeguarding 28 High Conservation Value species that live in the habitat.
The Katingan Project collaborates with 34 Indonesian villages to not only reduce emissions, but to conserve local wildlife populations and enable the sustainable development of the local community.
Shell works with numerous carefully selected nature-based projects around the world in locations such as Peru, Indonesia, Kenya and the United Kingdom. These projects help reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving the livelihoods of local communities and preserving biodiversity and wildlife.
To ensure the quality and integrity of nature-based carbon credits, there is a robust programme of third-party independent standards, verification processes and registries.
One example of a project that Shell works with is the Cordillera Azul National Park REDD+ project in Peru. It protects 1.6 million hectares of threatened forest containing 28 high conservation value species.
440 communities live within the Cordillera Azul National Park REDD+ project zone, including 30 indigenous communities.
The Cordillera Azul National Park REDD+ project also supports 716 jobs, 30% held by women, 24 sustainable enterprises and has improved 6 schools for the community.

The terms “Carbon Neutral”, “Carbon Offset” or “Carbon offset compensation” are applied in a non-technical way to indicate that Shell has engaged in a transaction to ensure that an amount of carbon dioxide equivalent to that associated with the production, delivery and usage of the fuel has been removed from the atmosphere through a nature-based process or emissions saved through avoided deforestation”
