GreenSeat is Off Air
From July 1st 2024
Thank you for visiting the GreenSeat website. Unfortunately, the GreenSeat travel offsetting service is no longer available. GreenSeat was the consumer brand of Climate Neutral Group, now part of Anthesis, for over 20 years.
The urgency of climate change demands us to focus our efforts where we can make the most impact in the shortest possible time. We have therefore decided to focus our activities on the corporate travel sector, where the emissions from travel are higher.
We are thankful that so many people have used GreenSeat over the past 20+ years. GreenSeat played a notable role in raising awareness about the environmental impact of travel and providing people with a way to take action to mitigate that impact. GreenSeat offered travellers an uncomplicated way to understand the CO2 emissions of their journeys and reduce their impact by investing in climate projects.
Are you a provider of business air travel (TMC) looking to offer more sustainable options to your clients, or are you an international company aiming to reduce the impact of corporate travel and consider investment in carbon credits or Sustainable Aviation Fuel?
Are you a consumer and you want to get inspiration about how to travel more sustainably?
History and impact of GreenSeat
Founded in 2000 by Niels Korthals Altes and Mark van Baal, GreenSeat was a Dutch initiative aimed at making air travel more sustainable by offering travellers the option to offset their travel emissions.
GreenSeat allowed travellers to calculate the carbon footprint of their travel emissions using an online calculator and then purchase carbon credits to offset that footprint. The money generated from these purchases was invested in renewable energy projects in developing countries that reduce or remove an equivalent amount of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. These projects included renewable energy initiatives like wind farms or solar power installations, reforestation efforts, or energy efficiency projects.
Over the years, GreenSeat partnered with various travel organisations and airlines to stimulate investment in carbon projects to mitigate the environmental impact of air travel. It has also expanded its portfolio of carbon projects to include a wide range of initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable development in countries in the Global South.
