NET-HERO has launched an innovative platform for motorists around the world. Available in 5 languages, individuals are guided through a simple three step process to become environmentally responsible drivers.
NET-HERO is powered by a database of millions of registered vehicles allowing drivers to accurately calculate the greenhouse gas emissions for new and classic cars. First, motorists enter their vehicle’s details to calculate its carbon footprint. Secondly, they can contribute to high quality carbon projects by purchasing from the NET-HERO offset basket, developed with decarbonisation specialists BeZero Carbon. Finally, motorists will receive an email certificate and a custom vignette to showcase their new status as an environmentally friendly driver.
With this platform, climate awareness can rapidly turn into climate action. NET-HERO’s AAA+ rated programme* helps motorists offset internal combustion engine emissions for as little as c.2 pence per mile. Each carbon credit contributes to high quality projects around the world, including afforestation, restoration of peatlands and grass protection. This rating has been developed using a proprietary methodology for assessing the efficacy of certified carbon projects called the BeZero Carbon Rating.
Tomas de Vargas Machuca, Chairman of HERO-ERA explained “HERO-ERA was the first classic and vintage car event platform to become Carbon Neutral for 2020, offering all our competitors an environmentally responsible platform in which to enjoy motoring. It was only natural that we were to become strategic partners with NET-HERO who allow the individual to offset emissions outside our events. The teams of NET-HERO and BeZero Carbon have made it quick, simple, and affordable for motorists to offset their vehicle emissions by launching the easy-to-use platform. Whether the vehicle of choice is a Ford Focus or an E-Type Jaguar, users can offset the environmental cost of their driving from as little as 2 pence per mile and play their part in addressing the challenges to strengthening net-zero targets.”
BeZero Carbon is a climate solutions business. In association with NET-HERO, BeZero developed an innovative carbon footprinting framework to quantify the impact of modern & classic cars; and designed a custom AAA+ BeZero-rated offset basket. The projects have been selected using the BeZero Carbon Rating, which assesses the carbon efficacy of credits from each project. Every basket removes the greenhouse gas emissions generated by vehicle engines.
