How does the CO₂ compensation option work?
The CO₂ compensation option works in five steps.
-
First, select the Compensation option when placing your order — TransConnect estimates your transport's CO₂e emissions using EcoTransIT World.
-
Second, you pay a fee based on those estimated emissions, shown transparently at checkout.
-
Third, via TransConnect's partner Ecommit, a matching quantity of carbon credits is purchased and retired — removed permanently from circulation and non-reusable.
-
Fourth, your transport is carried out as normal.
-
Fifth, you receive quarterly confirmation listing the retired credits and a unique certificate number.
The project is certified through Proba, with conditional ICROA recognition, and is independently audited annually by Bureau Veritas d.o.o.
