At CarbonLeap, we're revolutionising supply chain decarbonisation through carbon insetting. But what exactly is carbon insetting, and why does it matter for your business?
A fresh approach to reducing your supply chain carbon emissions
Until now, it may not have been on your radar, or you’ve had to rely on carbon offsetting, investing in carbon schemes where you have little visibility and control over unrelated carbon reductions. But now, CarbonLeap brings a fresh approach, giving you 100% verifiable assurance that carbon is being reduced through related activities within your supply chain.
How? Through carbon insetting, you can contribute directly to the overall reduction of carbon emissions within your industry.
We connect you with our network of low-carbon energy and technology suppliers who are seeking shared support for their investment in carbon abatement. Together, we’ll craft intelligent solutions, supporting you through the entire journey, finding the cheapest route to delivery while eradicating double counting, claiming, or free riding.
It’s the reason we’ve built a solid reputation as a trusted, independent partner with the experience and expertise to not only guide you through the complexity of supply chain decarbonisation but also help you with intelligent solutions to take advantage of the opportunities the energy transition brings.

Carriers overcharge 2–3×: every carrier charges more than the EU ETS surcharge should be, according to CarbonLeap's estimates.
The carriers may also be adding a buffer to account for administrative work, EUA price fluctuations (which can be high), or simply applying a different calculation method (e.g. charging for 100% of emissions instead of the 40% required by the EU ETS).

Nice words from clients and experts
Insetting solutions as those offered by Carbon Leap and others are needed to kick-start the uptake of low GHG fuels ahead of oncoming regulations. This will drive the necessary innovation in production and use of those fuels by solving the principal agent problem

helps us build off the CO2 in a certified way.. With that
we have an opportunity to distinguish ourselves commercially with customers who are also increasingly looking at sustainable products. If you have your CO2 reduction in order, you will bring in more customers

While carbon offsetting has a positive impact on the environment, it doesn’t reduce the transport sector’s carbon footprint. Carbon “insetting” opens a new and very promising pathway to decarbonizing the global freight transportation network.
