If you are looking for a genuine carbon offset provider, you have come to the right place. BalanzTM aims to be the World’s most genuine and cost effective carbon offsetter.
The most cost effective carbon offset We only invest in verified projects which guarantee reductions in CO2 emissions. Solar thermal is a simple yet time-proven technology, is robust and long established with proven paybacks. We can therefore guarantee CO2 reductions. We will only fund projects if we can be confident that they would not have gone ahead without our assistance.
Independent body Verification of our projects To make sure that each emission reduction project is a good investment, makes a genuine reduction in CO2 emissions as well as being of benefit to the host country and sustainable development we use an independent body to verify and approve all of our projects (Gold standard). To achieve Gold Standard we provide rigorous independent checks that additional carbon reductions have been made.
BalanzTM gives you a choice You can decide yourself where you would like us to invest your money. It might be for example your local school, a hospital in Ghana or a community centre in India. Obviously the cost of offsetting your emissions will be higher in the UK than in developing countries.
The most comprehensive calculators currently available We worked hard to make the calculators as accurate as possible using data from credible sources. Not only can you offset your car, household and business carbon dioxide emissions but also train, wedding and events. Our calculators are also regularly updated.
Why Solar Thermal and not Trees We cannot guarantee what will happen to the tree in 5 years time, or if a tree might have grown naturally anyway. Once the trees die they decay, releasing the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. Solar water heating, on the other hand, is often the single most cost effective renewable energy technology available.
Our projects help communities in need We only help non profit organisations such as Community Centres, Schools and Hospitals. The projects do not only save carbon dioxide emissions, they also create jobs and help communities.
