Carbon Offsetting with the Koru Foundation
If you are concerned about the carbon dioxide emitted by travelling to a RenewableUK conference, consider compensating for your emissions when you register by supporting the renewable energy programme of the Koru Foundation, the chosen charity of RenewableUK.
The Koru Foundation develops community-managed, small scale renewable energy projects in developing countries that address energy poverty and do not contribute to climate change.
Delegate travelling within the UK = £5
For the cost of £5 you can compensate for an average return flight within the UK or up to 500 miles return journey in a standard petrol car.
Delegate travelling from outside the UK = £10
For the cost of £10 you can compensate for a return flight to the UK of up to 1000 miles.
The price of compensating for one tonne of carbon dioxide is set at £27.60 which is based on the shadow price of carbon, an estimated value of the damage caused by one tonne of carbon dioxide, calculated independently by the British Government.
