Biogas Capture/Renewables
Region: Thailand
In a nutshell: Mitigating methane release into the atmosphere as a result of organic matter breakdown from the Palm Oil Mill.
Estimated Annual Emissions Reduction: 35,028 tonnes CO2e
Carbon Offset Volume: 110 tonnes CO2e
The project helps mitigate the release of methane into the atmosphere. This occurs as a result of the breakdown of organic matter from the Palm Pol Mill. The major components of the project are:
- Extraction of methane (biogas) from wastewater through biogas reactor.
- Reuse of biogas for fuel.
- Allows reuse of wastewater into the mill production process, aiding water conservation.

Hydro/Renewables
Region: Turkey
In a nutshell: Clean electricity production, using the potential energy of the Aksu River as a renewable source.
Estimated Annual Emissions Reduction: 83,983 tonnes CO2e
Carbon Offset Volume: 1448 tonnes CO2e
This project focuses on clean electricity production, using the potential energy of Aksu River as a renewable source. By producing electricity from a non-fossil fuel source, this project:
- Reduces the impact of airborne pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Turkey’s electricity generation is heavily reliant on fossil fuels. By investing in renewables projects in the area, we help the Turkish national electricity grids transition towards more sustainable resources.

Wind/Renewables
Region: China
In a nutshell: Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions generated by coal-fired power plants with wind-powered energy.
Estimated Annual Emissions Reduction: 427,936 tonnes CO2e
Carbon Offset Volume: 220 tonnes CO2e
This project will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated from the North China Power Grid (NCPG). This will displace part of the NCPG’s electricity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated by coal-fired power plants. It will contribute to the development of the local community by means of:
- GHG emission reduction.
- Pollutants emission reduction. through replacing fossil fuel combustion.
- Employment opportunities.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to become part of GreenPerk?
Once you’ve opted in to GreenPerk, you’ll be charged per trip taken. GreenPerk has a fixed price per ton of CO₂ of €10 (charged per your local currency).
Prices per trip will depend on your travel choices (for example, trains emit less CO₂ than planes). On average, the price is 0.9% of the total trip cost to offset 100% of the carbon emissions. This average has been calculated based on a flight from London to Barcelona, including a two-night stay in a standard hotel.
Will I be charged per booking or per trip?
You’ll be charged per trip taken for every tonne of CO₂ your travel emits.
How can I keep track of the CO2 emissions?
You can monitor all your CO2 emissions by accessing the CO2 reporting page within the TK platform.
Do you offset carbon emissions from air travel only?
No, GreenPerk offsets the carbon emissions for all of your business travel across – air, rail, car & hotel.
Can I opt out of GreenPerk?
Yes, you can opt out of GreenPerk once every quarter.
How do you calculate the price of carbon?
The short answer to this is that the quality of the projects that are being invested in plays a big role on the price. Prices can fluctuate based on region, market conditions, and the certification program.
Can I get a certificate attesting to my company’s participation in the program?
Every customer who is part of GreenPerk will receive a certificate and badge to show that they are part of our offsetting program. However, this is not an official document.
Are carbon credits tax deductible?
Currently, contributions to GreenPerk may be tax-deductible. Please consult with a tax advisor to make sure that your local tax regulations permit deductions from contributions to Corporate Income Tax.
How does TravelPerk calculate the carbon footprint for travel?
