Emissions from sources that are not under your direct control but are in your value chain are called Scope 3 emissions. These can occur both upstream and downstream of your own operations. It is where the bulk of your business activity takes place and where ~90% of overall emissions are generated. Therefore, addressing your Scope 3 Carbon Footprint is the only way your company can achieve its net-zero targets.
Upstream Scope 3 Services

Cat. 4: Transportation and Distribution
Cat. 6: Business Travel
Cat. 7: Employee Commuting
Downstream Scope 3 Services
Cat. 9: Transportation and Distribution
Within your Scope 3 emissions, upstream and downstream transportation are two categories that can be immediately reduced by using biofuels. CarbonLeap offers the ability to apply the CO2 savings of these biofuels in your value chain using insets. These biofuels are made from waste-based feedstocks and often have a positive net impact of >90% versus fossil-based fuel.
We achieve this by leveraging our exceptional network, where our partners can actively reduce Scope 1 emissions through the implementation of biofuels. These reductions can be allocated to you to reduce your Carbon Footprint as the owner of the Scope 3 reduction. This approach ensures that actionable reduction takes place in the value chain, and you are not offsetting unrelated emissions.
Hence, CarbonLeap offers the ability to make a real GHG impact by using insets for Scope 3 reduction. Our seasoned experts are dedicated to empowering your company to significantly reduce emissions throughout your value chain.

Why Carbonleap
The Process
Seeking to reduce your Scope 3 emissions?
We know the energy transition can seem dauntingly complex. We also recognise the pressure you’re under to decarbonise your supply chain and lower your transportation emissions. Regulatory pressures, consumer, investor and lender expectations, the continued search for cost savings and efficiency, and your commitment to tackling climate change all add up to the need for urgent action.

How our process works
We team up with our 'Origination Partners' to tackle emissions right at their source. Our third-party verification ensures that the carbon reductions are accurate and verifiable. Once confirmed, we convert the carbon reduced into 'Impact Units' at our CarbonBank, each representing a 1 tCO2e reduction.
We use blockchain technology to send these units straight to you and keep a secure digital record of the transaction, issuing a unique carbon abatement statement for proof of reduction.
The CarbonBank locks down the integrity, traceability, and no-take-backs of every deal, making sure every claim is solid and safe from any double counting and double claiming. It is an innovative digital platform designed in cooperation with our partner and ERP world leader SAP, to revolutionise the way you manage and account for your carbon reduction efforts; offering a secure, transparent, and efficient means for tracking, tokenising, and allocating monetised carbon reduction units.
