How to offset your carbon footprint?

Adventures Overland is proud to be the world's first carbon-neutral road trip company. In partnership with our NGO collaborators, we offset the carbon emissions generated by vehicles on all our expeditions by planting an equivalent number of trees. We have developed a custom carbon calculator (shared below) that estimates emissions based on distance travelled, fuel type, engine capacity (cc), and mileage, determining the precise number of trees required to neutralise the journey's carbon impact.

Our NGO partners not only plant these trees but also ensure their ongoing care and maintenance. Each sapling is assigned a unique tree ID, and a dedicated site is provided to showcase Adventures Overland's sustainability efforts.

To offset its carbon footprint, AO employs the following steps:

  • Assess the actual emissions.
  • Determine the required number of trees for planting.
  • A cost of 200 INR per tree has been established for this purpose.
  • Donations will be directly shared with a chosen NGO to finance tree planting using appropriate methods.
  • Upon tree plantation, the platform will furnish evidence including location details, and yearly carbon sequestration, and issue a tax exemption certificate under section 80C.

The duration for trees to effectively sequester carbon varies based on factors such as tree species, environmental conditions, soil quality, and management practices. Generally, young trees initiate carbon sequestration upon growth commencement, with the rate increasing as they mature and expand.

Yes, upon making a donation for carbon sequestration through the calculator, you will receive your carbon sequestration certificate in your mailbox.
