Carbon Insetting Projects

Climate Action Embedded in Real Local Value Chains

Instead of buying distant offsets, we prioritize local insetting: practical emissions reduction and ecosystem restoration where operations, communities, and livelihoods are directly connected.

Offsetting

External Carbon Compensation

  • Emissions balanced through third-party projects.
  • Can be distant from local operational realities.
  • Useful, but limited direct local co-benefits.

Insetting

Internal Value-Chain Decarbonization

  • Reduces emissions within operational and community systems.
  • Directly linked to livelihoods, soil, water, and biodiversity.
  • Creates measurable local resilience and social impact.

Insetting Framework

Where We Intervene Across the System

01 Operational Waste

Mix of sources

  • Oily sludge and wastewater streams
  • Chemical leakage risk reduction
  • Waste segregation + recovery pathways
02 Transportation

Mobility emissions

  • Route and load optimization
  • Fuel efficiency for community logistics
  • Cleaner-energy transition planning
03 End of Life

Disposal to circularity

  • Landfill and open-dumping diversion
  • Wastewater treatment + reuse
  • Controlled storage and composting
04 Impact

Pollution + GHG reduction

  • Lower wastewater pollution load
  • Reduced carbon dioxide (CO2)
  • Reduced methane (CH4) + nitrous oxide (N2O)
