• Use less power. Measure and reduce your consumption using our tools
• Choose from a range of greener power products in our online shop
You’ll find a range of green power products on Powershop. The carbon emitted in their generation and distribution is offset or “absorbed” to varying degrees depending on the product. Your own carbon footprint will depend on which products you buy and how much.
Carbon offsetting is an accepted way of reducing greenhouse emissions. When you buy an offset product on Powershop, you can buy from a supplier who will retire verified, certified carbon offsets on your behalf. These will be retired on registries like TZ1 or myclimate.
All carbon offset products in Powershop are certified and verified to internationally accepted standards. However, only the most stringent can be used directly in third party certification programmes such as CarboNZero™. Offsets promote the development of renewable energy, energy efficiency and forestry here and around the world, delivering measurable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
Some of our products are from companies who are 100% committed to using renewable energy sources to generate electricity.
At Powershop you can buy from suppliers that plant trees. As well as fighting climate change, tree planting reduces soil erosion and improves water quality.
