Your Everyday Choices Can Help
Shape a Cleaner Tomorrow
Everyday activities — heating your home, charging your devices, commuting to work — all leave behind a carbon footprint. But now, there's a simple way to take responsibility and reduce your impact.
Through Energy Canada Home Comfort’s Carbon Offset Program, you can balance your household emissions by supporting certified climate action projects across Canada and beyond. Whether it’s capturing landfill methane, planting trees, or expanding clean energy infrastructures, your contribution goes directly toward measurable and verified climate progress.
Take action without changing how you live.

What Is a Carbon Offset?
Tonnes of CO₂ Reduced. Real Impact Delivered.
A carbon offset represents the reduction or removal of carbon dioxide (CO₂e) or other greenhouse gases through verified environmental projects. For every tonne of emissions you generate, you can offset an equivalent amount by supporting initiatives that actively reduce or prevent emissions. These offsets help balance your personal or household emissions by supporting real, measurable climate solutions like:
-
Wind and solar energy installations across the globe
-
Reforestation and tree planting in provinces nationwide
-
Methane capture and destruction at Canadian landfills
-
Community energy efficiency upgrades that lower emissions at scale
All projects we support are certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or internationally recognized equivalent standards — giving you confidence in both impact and transparency.

Tonnes of Carbon Emissions Offset
.webp)
Together, We've Offset Over 18,000 Tonnes of Carbon Emissions — and We're Just Getting Started.
Thanks to the commitment of Canadians like you, our carbon offset program has already made a measurable impact, preventing thousands of tonnes of CO₂e from entering our atmosphere. Every household, every choice, every offset matters. Join us in building a cleaner, more sustainable Canada — one step at a time.
Why Offsetting Matters
It All Adds Up — and You Can Help Balance It Out
The average Canadian household emits roughly 2.2 tonnes of household greenhouse gases per year from electricity use alone. While you may not be able to avoid every emission, you can take action to reduce their impact. Offsetting is an easy, effective way to:
• Support Canadian climate projects
• Reduce your environmental footprint
• Contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future
It’s a practical step you can take today — and a powerful one for tomorrow.
Join a Community Committed to Change
When you choose to offset through Energy Canada Home Comfort, you’re joining a growing community of Canadians committed to real environmental progress — without needing to overhaul their lifestyle.
Your participation supports:
-
Cleaner air and water in communities across the country
-
The expansion of renewable energy where it’s needed most
-
Resilient, sustainable local economies
-
A healthier planet for the next generation
