Carbon Offsets
Invest in the future – and in your business.
The Guttman Renewables Carbon Offset Program is a great way to begin or extend your company’s sustainability story. As more organizations prioritize sustainability and reducing environmental impact, improved efficiency and waste reduction have become key steps toward lowering emissions. However, carbon offsets have emerged as an additional powerful tool for shrinking carbon footprints—particularly for industries where emissions are difficult to reduce or eliminate like transportation, energy, and heavy industry.
What the Carbon Offset Program?
The Guttman Renewables Carbon Offset Program is a turnkey solution to help you utilize carbon offsets to meet your emissions reduction and other sustainability goals. As a trusted partner for over 90 years, we’re excited to continue our focus on innovation with an offering that:
- Helps you navigate the complex carbon offset space
- Provides access to a wide range of offset projects to meet your goals and preferences
- Leverages simple, affordable per-gallon pricing for ease of budgeting and billing
The program provides organizations with access to offsets from a wide range of projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions. The range includes project types such as renewable energy, industrial emissions capture, intermodal transport, and nature-based solutions like reforestation and regenerative agriculture.

Carbon Offsets by Guttman Renewables works exactly the same for our Bulk customers and Fleet Fuel card customers.
The carbon offsets space can be intimidating, but Guttman Renewables is here to help! Our team is ready to work with you to understand your carbon neutral, net zero and other sustainability goals and explore how offsets can help you achieve them.
Guttman Renewables will work with you to explore and understand your goals.
Guttman Renewables calculates emissions based on volume and fuel type or other energy usage (or you can provide emissions figures).
We determine the number of offsets needed to meet your goals (you can offset some or all of your emissions).
Guttman Renewables sources registered offsets based on your priorities, preferences, and budget.
We retire the offsets on your behalf and provide certification of those retirements for your records.
Our Carbon Offset Verification Standards
All Guttman Renewables offsets are listed on reputable registries that maintain standards to certify projects and ensure their environmental impact. Projects are publicly registered, and offsets are serialized and retired to avoid double counting.
Offsets are generated from projects that are specifically designed to reduce or remove greenhouse gases. To be considered reputable, these projects must be:
Validated and listed on a reputable registry.
Emission reductions or removals should be impossible/unlikely to be reversed.
The project would not have been done anyway due to regulations or other motivations.
Their impact must be able to be quantified and verified.
All carbon credits provided through the Guttman Renewables Carbon Offsets Program are certified and adhere to internationally recognized standards set by organizations such as:
Our Projects

DESTRUCTION OF OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES
Canada
This greenhouse gas project environmentally and safely destroys ozone-depleting substances extracted from refrigeration, freezer, and air-conditioning end-of-life appliances. The goal of the project is to safely and environmentally destroy ODS extracted from end-of-life appliances.
QUANTIFICATION OF CO2 EMISSION REDUCTIONS FROM SLAG-BASED RECYCLING OPERATIONS
Canada
The project quantifies the greenhouse gas emissions reduced from Les Minéraux Harsco’s activities in the Province of Quebec, Canada. Post-consumer slag-based products are recycled by transforming materials recovered from different industries into sand, alumina, steel, and iron oxide. Those products are sold and integrated into new products.
J.B. HUNT INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION
United States
J.B. Hunt pursued carbon efficiency in transportation by increasing the amount of freight transported by intermodal instead of long-haul trucking. Rail transportation was found to generate only one third of the emissions generated by truck transportation. Hunt also implemented an Idling Bonus Program to monetarily reward drivers and their managers for reducing unnecessary engine idling.
BII NEE STIPA (WIND)
Mexico
This project generates renewable energy from wind resources to market to Mexican partners willing to consume this form of energy. The project will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by avoiding electricity generation otherwise produced at fossil-fuel fired power plants, and thereby the CO2 emissions associated with it.
Cardinal Midale CO2 EOR Battery
Canada
The project aims to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere and utilizing it in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) schemes can result in permanent net geological sequestration of CO2. EOR schemes are typically operated with externally sourced CO2 from industrial processes or power generation unrelated to the EOR scheme’s operation. This quantification protocol establishes the methodology for quantifying the eligible greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions through net geological sequestration of CO2 for EOR project activities.
