Rebel Energy Renewable Electricity and Carbon Offset Gas

There are not many energy companies in the UK that offer carbon neutral or carbon offset gas and most of these suppliers employ third party companies or charities to do the carbon offsetting through tree planting or charitable work in developing countries.

The Restoration Fund charity set up by Rebel allows the responsibility for carbon offsetting all their customers gas usage to be done in house. The Rebel Restoration Fund is managed by Richard Woodfine since joining Rebel in January 2021 and aims to offset carbon by restoring ecosystems.
