Competitor’s information.
Racing Carbon Neutral Invites all Motorsport Competitors to show the world that they are committed to the reduction of Greenhouse gas emissions by joining with others in the push towards Carbon Neutral Motorsport.
When you join Racing Carbon Neutral you will be given access to a free profile page where you can show your commitment to Carbon Neutral Motorsport.
You will be able to choose from a pre-determined list, the championship and the car you will be racing in for the upcoming season.
You then choose which Races, Tests, Track days and practices you will be participating in, and the Racing Carbon Neutral Platform calculates your Emissions for the season.
This figure is then converted into a costing band from 1 – 10 and you’ll be transferred to a secure payment page.
Once payment is made the platform will produce a unique certificate along with a QR Code. Both will be automatically uploaded to your profile page to help you show everyone including commercial partners and supporters your commitment to Carbon Neutrality.
You will receive a pair of Racing Carbon Neutral QR Code stickers to place on your vehicle which fans and spectators will be able to scan, taking them directly to your profile page.

Global warming and Climate Change.
The 2018 IPCC report confirmed that at the current rate of change, the world could become 1.5 °C hotter as soon as 2030. That’s less than a decade from now, well within the lifespan of most people alive today.
1.5 °C might not sound like a big increase, but it can be the difference between life and death for thousands of people.
The Earth has always had natural cooling and warming cycles, but nothing like we are experiencing now. The hottest 5 years on record are 2016, 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2014.
Rising temperatures aren’t just responsible for the planet getting hotter. Our planet’s climate is very complex, a small rise in the average global temperature can mean big changes to our ecosystem, with devastating side effects.
97% of Scientists agree that climate change is being caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.
If we pay attention to what the scientists and frontline communities are telling us, the message is clear, Humans are causing the rapid onset of climate change, which is already bringing costly impacts across the world.
When you purchase Carbon Offset Credits through Racing Carbon Neutral you are supporting UNFCCC certified projects that reduce, avoid, or remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere.
The environmental benefit of CERs can be claimed to offset or compensate your own greenhouse gas emissions produced through your participation in Motorsport.

Carbon Offset Credits, how do they work?
When you purchase Carbon Offset Credits through Racing Carbon Neutral you are supporting UNFCCC certified projects that reduce, avoid, or remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere. The projects are implemented in developing countries and are rewarded with Certified Emission Reductions (CER’s), a type of carbon offset measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
Certified emission reductions (CERs) are earned by greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation projects in developing countries after a rigorous verification process.
By purchasing and cancelling CERs through our platform, you claim their environmental benefit. The CERs are put out of circulation, blocking them for further use. In this way, you are responding to the challenge of climate change and helping our society move closer to global climate neutrality (zero net impact on the climate). In addition, you are supporting worthy projects that bring sustainable development benefits to developing countries.
CERs are recorded and tracked in electronic databases know as emissions registries. The CERs purchased through our platform are recorded and tracked in the clean development mechanism (CDM) registry operated by the UN Climate Change secretariat. Voluntary cancellation, also referred to as cancellation, is the process in the CDM registry by which CERs are taken out of circulation, preventing any further use. It is similar to destroying them or marking them so they can no longer be used.
Certified emission reductions or CERs are electronic certificates issued for greenhouse gas emission reductions from clean development mechanism (CDM) project activities or programs of activities (PoAs) in accordance with the CDM rules and requirements. Each CER is equivalent to one metric tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2e) avoided or removed from the atmosphere.
The environmental benefit of CERs can be claimed to offset or compensate your own greenhouse gas emissions produced through your participation in Motorsport.
