Make the change, drive carbon neutral*
Many of our customers have told us they want to reduce their CO2 footprint, but they still need to drive. Some are thinking about purchasing an electric vehicle, but for many that’s not yet possible. Some drivers are also following Shell’s fuel-efficient driving tips to help them conserve energy, but they are looking for even more options. Introducing the Drive Carbon Neutral* program, allowing all Shell customers, regardless of the vehicle they drive, an opportunity to reduce the carbon emissions from fuel purchases.
What is Driving Carbon Neutral*?
As forests, grasslands and wetlands remove and store CO2 from the atmosphere, protecting and replanting these environments means we can offset the carbon emissions from your fuel purchases.
How Can I Drive Carbon Neutral*?
For consumers who use Shell EasyPay™ in the Shell app and purchase Shell V-Power® Fuels (V-Power Gas and/or V-Power Diesel), Shell will retire carbon credits to address carbon emissions from those Shell V-Power® fuel purchases (until end of 2023)*
“There is no single solution for dealing with climate change. A transformation of the global energy system is needed. From electricity production to industry and transport. Shell will do its bit.”
- Ben van Beurden, Chief Executive Officer

Supporting Projects to Drive Carbon Neutral*
By driving CO2 neutral you are supporting internationally accredited, carbon offsetting projects such as the Darkwoods Forest Carbon Project in Canada, Cordillera Azul project in Peru, and the Katingan Mentaya project in Indonesia.

Darkwoods Forest Carbon Project, British Columbia
The Darkwoods Forest Carbon Project is an initiative of the Nature Conservancy of Canada that markets carbon credits generated from the Darkwoods Conservation Area.
Katingan Mentaya, Indonesia
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.
Cordillera Azul National Park, Peru, South America
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.
Disclaimer:
CO2 offsetting does not imply that there is no environmental impact from the production and use of the product as associated emissions remain in the atmosphere. CO2 offsetting is not a substitute for switching to lower emission energy solutions or reducing the use of fossil fuels. Shell businesses focus first on emissions that can be avoided or reduced and only then, offsetting the remaining emissions.
“Carbon neutral*” or “CO2 offset” indicates that Shell will engage in a transaction where an amount of CO2 equivalent to the value of the remaining CO2e emissions associated with the raw material extraction, transport, production, distribution and usage /end-of-life (if Lubricants or other non-energy product) of the product are offset through the purchase and retirement of carbon credits generated from CO2 compensation projects. Although these carbon credits have been generated in accordance with international carbon standards, offsetting may not be exact. CO2e (CO2 equivalent) refers to CO2, CH4, N2O.
* 'carbon credit' indicates that Shell will engage in a transaction in its name where an amount of CO2 equivalent to the value of the remaining CO2e emissions associated with the raw material extraction, transport, production, distribution and use of fuel are addressed through the purchase and retirement of carbon credits generated from CO2 compensation projects. Although these carbon credits have been generated in accordance with international carbon standards, the purchase and retirement transaction may not be exact. CO2e (CO2 equivalent) refers to CO2, CH4, N2O. This does not mean there is no environmental impact from the raw material extraction, transport, production, distribution and use of the fuel sold, as associated emissions remain in the atmosphere.
