Carbon Offsetting
Working towards a greener future with carbon offsetting
At Moorland Fuels, we believe in doing our part for the environment and helping our customers reduce their carbon footprint. While we offer greener fuel alternatives such as renewable diesel (HVO), we know that cutting out all emissions often isn’t possible. That’s where carbon offsetting comes in.
Simply put, carbon offsetting balances out the emissions from your home, business, or farm by supporting projects that remove or reduce the same amount of CO₂ from the atmosphere. It’s an easy way to make a difference, whether that’s through tree planting, investing in renewable energy, or other sustainability projects. With our accredited schemes, offsetting your carbon footprint is straightforward — whether at home or work.
Want to make a difference from the comfort of your own home? Offsetting the carbon from your heating oil is a small, simple step that adds up over time. With minimal effort, you can counteract the emissions from your heating by supporting projects such as reforestation, renewable energy, and other sustainability efforts.
We only work with trusted, experienced carbon project developers — verified by leading global organisations — so you know your offsets are making a real impact.
The best part? It couldn’t be easier. Just let us know when you place your order, and we’ll take care of everything. Your fuel will be delivered as usual, and we’ll let you know exactly how much carbon you’ve offset and which projects you’ve supported.
For businesses, carbon offsetting is an essential step toward sustainability. Whether you’re offsetting emissions from your heating oil, fleet fuel, or other operations, our service helps you balance your carbon footprint. By contributing to certified carbon reduction projects, your business can play a part in larger-scale environmental solutions.
We only partner with externally validated carbon project developers to offset your emissions through the purchase of Voluntary Carbon Units (VCUs), fuelling investment in sustainable projects. We’ll handle the logistics and provide you with documentation about the amount of carbon you’ve offset after your deliveries, alongside details of which projects you’ve supported.

Carbon footprint insights
Understanding your carbon emissions and how offsetting can help
Thinking about carbon footprints can feel overwhelming, but don’t worry — we’re here to make it simple. Whether you’re a homeowner wanting to make greener choices or a business looking to be more sustainable, understanding where your emissions come from is the first step.
The three kinds of emissions
Everyday life — whether it’s heating your home, running your business, or driving your car — creates carbon emissions. These emissions fall into three main categories:
Scope 1 – Direct emissions
These are the emissions you can control—such as the fuel you burn to heat your home or the diesel used in your company vehicles.
Scope 2 – Indirect energy emissions
Even though you’re not producing these emissions yourself, they’re still connected to your energy use. Think of it this way — when you flick on the lights, the power station supplying your electricity is producing emissions on your behalf.
Scope 3 – Everything else
This one’s the trickiest because it covers emissions from things you don’t directly control, such as your suppliers, deliveries, and even your employees’ travel.
