We Built Coffset to Make Carbon Offsetting Simple, Trustworthy, and Transparent

The Problem
We noticed a clear pattern:
People want to take responsibility for their carbon footprint, but they don’t have trustworthy, easy-to-use tools to help them do it.
Here’s what’s wrong with most existing solutions:
Carbon calculators are annoying: Too complex or too simplistic, and often give wildly inconsistent results.
The offset market lacks transparency: Many platforms offer offsets without verifying the quality or impact of the projects.
It’s hard to know who to trust: Greenwashing, vague claims, and hidden fees are everywhere.
There’s no all-in-one experience: Most tools force users to calculate on one platform, pay on another, and research credibility on their own.
Data sources are unclear or outdated: Leaving users unsure if their actions even matter.
As a result, many people give up, or worse, offset their emissions through low-quality schemes that have little real-world impact.
As a result, many people either give up or question whether their efforts are actually meaningful.
Our Solution: Coffset
We created Coffset, a platform that makes it easy for individuals to calculate, understand, and offset their carbon emissions, without the confusion or greenwashing.
Coffset is designed for:
People who care about the planet but don’t want to spend hours researching emissions factors
Eco-conscious people looking to offset their lifestyle or travels
Users who want clarity, not marketing jargon

How Coffset Works
Coffset uses a simple but accurate calculator that covers:
Daily transport (car, public transport, flights)
Diet (omnivore, vegetarian, vegan)
Electricity and home energy use
Lifestyle factors (purchases, travel, etc.)
Our platform gives you a quick estimate of your annual or trip-based CO₂e emissions and lets you offset it instantly through vetted projects.
