Frequently Asked Questions about Carbon Neutral Gas
What are carbon offsets?
Carbon offsets let your business balance emissions by supporting projects that reduce or remove carbon elsewhere. These include projects that cut future emissions or remove carbon from the atmosphere.
Instead, for 100% of the energy you use, we guarantee that the same amount of energy from renewable sources will be fed into the grid. This is backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) as evidence.
What does carbon neutral mean?
With Carbon Neutral Gas, 10% of your supply is backed by UK renewable gas, and 90% is supported by carbon offset projects—helping reduce your overall environmental impact.
Additional information
Carbon Neutral Gas: 10% of the gas British Gas supply to you during your contract will be matched to a renewable energy source and 90% to carbon offsetting projects. British Gas will hold the necessary number of Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs) and emission reduction certificates as evidence of this supply. We buy independently verified carbon offsets from qualified and registered projects. We will use reasonable endeavours to purchase enough RGGOs to match 10% of the gas you use on this tariff and enough carbon offsets to offset the carbon footprint created from 90% of the gas you use. However, failure to do so will not constitute a breach of contract by British Gas or give rise to you having the right to terminate the supply contract. In the event something changes, and British Gas can no longer guarantee a carbon neutral supply we will write and let you know.
