From Utility Week

Carbon offsetting has come under criticism as being a bit of a cop out on the journey to net zero but for essential process emissions, a need to offset remains. Peter Simpson talked to Utility Week Live about the benefits of localised offsetting and why Anglian was not taking the easiest option.

Water companies should explore offsetting their carbon emissions locally to benefit their region instead of overseas where it may be harder to verify its benefit, the chief executive of Anglian Water has said.
