Australia: Ampol pilots carbon neutral fuel option for businesses
Emissions associated with Ampol’s fuel or diesel product will be offset through the purchase of a portfolio of carbon credits.
Ampol is piloting a carbon neutral petrol and diesel option aimed at offsetting the greenhouse gas emissions caused by the production, distribution, and consumption of fuel.
Initially being piloted to Ampol’s business customers, a carbon neutral option will be offered where emissions associated with Ampol’s fuel or diesel product will be offset through the purchase of a portfolio of carbon credits, points the company in a press release.
Customers that participate in the pilot program will be offered two carbon neutral portfolios to choose from – one that features 100% Australian projects, and the other featuring 30% Australian projects. The initiatives are picked by Ampol.
A wide range of Ampol’s business customers will be targeted for participation in the pilot program, including mining, road transport, rail, government and energy customers.
The carbon neutral fuel pilot will run for approximately three months, with an evaluation process to be executed before exploring a roll out to Ampol’s broader customer base.
