Go carbon neutral
Carbon offset with Kleenheat and go 100% carbon neutral on your natural gas usage.
If you choose to opt-in, your carbon offset contribution will cover the cost of acquiring offset units to balance out the emissions relating to your natural gas.
What is carbon offsetting?
Carbon offsets are used to balance out emissions from an organisation or individual, to bring their carbon footprint down to zero.
Offset units are generated by projects that reduce, remove or capture emissions from the atmosphere, such as reforestation or renewable energy.
By purchasing carbon offsets, individuals and organisations can reduce the net emissions created that contribute to climate change.
Why choose to carbon offset with Kleenheat?
As a truly local energy provider, 100% of the carbon offset units we purchase will be generated by Australian projects.
Go carbon neutral
When you opt-in to offset your emissions, your natural gas usage will be carbon neutral.
This means each household can offset the carbon emitted into the atmosphere through their daily usage of natural gas cooking and heating appliances.
Feel good about local offsets
As an organisation born and based in WA, it is important for us to keep things local.
To date, Kleenheat has purchased offsets generated by a reforestation project covering 5,700 hectares across the Wheatbelt and Mid West.
Certified good for the planet
Kleenheat has worked with Climate Active to achieve certification of our opt-in carbon neutral natural gas product.
This means we’ve taken measures to ensure the impact of us providing natural gas to opted-in customers will result in emissions being balanced to become neutral.
Our net zero target
Kleenheat is committed to net zero emissions for our operations by 2050.
By introducing the option to carbon offset, we’re giving our customers the choice to take action alongside us.
How is my contribution calculated?
Carbon offset contributions are calculated based on your household consumption of natural gas.
To calculate your carbon offset contribution, your units of consumption will be multiplied by a unit price. The unit price is set by Kleenheat and is based on the cost of acquiring offset units. The unit price set by Kleenheat may fluctuate over time, due to the availability of carbon offsets for purchase.
Once you opt-in, your carbon offset contribution will be applied to the whole billing period. This means your natural gas usage will also be carbon neutral for the whole billing period.
