Carbon offsetting is the act of reducing carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases in order to compensate for emissions that were produced elsewhere. Travelers are able to ‘offset’ the carbon emissions produced from their plane flights, ground transportation and other activities by purchasing carbon credits. One carbon offset credits represent 1 metric ton of CO2e reduced or averted from the atmosphere. The funds from these carbon credit sales are distributed to certified emission reduction projects around the world, making the continuation of their activities economically feasible.

CarbonClick CEO Dave Rouse explains, “Before realizing the negative impact fossil fuel-powered cars have on the environment, great minds have created some amazing vehicles over the years. Some of which are engineering masterpieces. Historical reminders of the technological progress we have made. For many people, there’s a great amount of sentiment attached to these vehicles. Vanquish is a way to preserve some of that history and the joy, whilst providing a way to compensate for the emissions caused.”
For some drivers, there is currently no feasible alternative to a fossil fuel vehicle. Until other solutions like hydrogen conversions become more accessible, carbon offsetting provides the opportunity to enjoy driving whilst making an immediate and positive environmental impact.
