Scooter Riding Carbon Removal

Remove your scooter emissions today. Add one 10 kg unit for every 100 km (60 miles) you ride on a scooter, and subscribe to automate your removal.

The CO₂ is physically removed from the atmosphere and durably stored for centuries, certified by Puro.earth. You receive public registry proof within one month of purchase.

10 kg of CO₂ removal covers the full life-cycle global warming impact of riding a typical scooter for 100 km: building the scooter, producing the fuel and burning it.

Examples:

• 100 km (60 miles): 1 unit, 10 kg of CO₂, €1.98
• 500 km (300 miles): 5 units, 50 kg of CO₂, €9.90
• 1,000 km (600 miles): 10 units, 100 kg of CO₂, €19.80

The 10 kg of CO₂ emissions per 100 km is a rounded global figure for a typical scooter or small motorcycle (<150 cc), based on life-cycle research from India and official UK data. If your scooter uses more fuel than average, multiply your units by 1.5. See detailed calculations below.

The price reflects what durable carbon removal costs: the amount of CO₂ you purchase has already been locked away from the atmosphere for centuries, which costs more than funding projects that aim to reduce future emissions. See what the price is based on →

Calculation data and methods:

1. India: 60.9 g CO₂e per km for scooters, 54.2 g for small motorcycles
   Full life-cycle emissions of new two-wheelers in India: building the vehicle (4.7 g per km for a scooter, 4.9 g for a small motorcycle), producing the fuel and burning it.
   Source: ICCT, Fuel consumption standards for the new two-wheeler fleet in India, 2021, Table 1
2. United Kingdom, burning the fuel: 83.2 g CO₂e per km for small motorbikes up to 125 cc
   The UK Government's factor for small motorbikes, 2024 edition.

3. United Kingdom, producing the fuel: 21.5 g CO₂e per km for small motorbikes
   The UK Government's well-to-tank factor, covering extraction, refining and transport of the fuel before it reaches the tank.

4. Calculation per 100 km:
   1. India, scooter: 60.9 g × 100 km = 6.1 kg, all life-cycle stages included.
   2. India, small motorcycle: 54.2 g × 100 km = 5.4 kg, all life-cycle stages included.
   3. United Kingdom, small motorcycle: (83.2 g + 21.5 g) × 100 km = 10.5 kg, plus 0.5 kg for building it, using ICCT's 4.9 g per km (applying the Indian figure to the UK is our assumption) = 11.0 kg.

--> A rounded global figure of 10 kg per 100 km is used here for a typical scooter or small motorcycle. It sits well above the Indian life-cycle figures and just below the UK figure, and multiplying by 1.5 covers scooters that use more fuel than average. At €0.198 per kg, 10 kg comes to €1.98.
