Offset Your Classic Car's Carbon Footprint
Historic and classic cars are meant to be driven, enjoyed and shared. Whether you're taking part in a HERO-ERA rally, touring Britain's finest roads or simply heading out for a Sunday drive, every journey creates lasting memories.
At HERO-ERA, we believe those journeys can also be made more responsibly.
That's why we've partnered with our sister company, Net-Hero, making it easy for classic car owners to calculate and offset the carbon footprint of their vehicle through carefully selected, independently verified climate projects.
Whether you drive a pre-war tourer, a classic Mini, a Jaguar E-Type or a modern performance car, offsetting your emissions is a simple way to help reduce your environmental impact while continuing to enjoy the cars you love.
Calculate Your Car's Carbon Footprint
Why Offset Your Classic Car?
Classic cars represent only a small percentage of vehicles on the road and are often driven far fewer miles than modern daily drivers. However, many enthusiasts choose to offset the emissions from their motoring as part of a wider commitment to preserving both our automotive heritage and the environment.
Offsetting doesn't replace reducing emissions where possible, but it provides a practical way to balance the emissions you do produce by supporting projects that remove or avoid carbon elsewhere in the world.
How Carbon Offsetting Works
1. Drive and Enjoy Your Car
Every journey creates carbon emissions. Whether you're touring, rallying or simply enjoying a day behind the wheel, your vehicle leaves a carbon footprint.
2. Calculate Your Emissions
Using the Net-Hero calculator, simply enter your vehicle details to calculate the emissions produced by your driving.
The calculator is suitable for both classic and modern vehicles and only takes a few moments to complete.
3. Support High-Quality Climate Projects
Once your emissions have been calculated, Net-Hero purchases and retires verified carbon credits on your behalf.
These credits support carefully selected projects around the world, including:
- Carbon capture initiatives
- Reforestation programmes
- Renewable energy generation
- Nature restoration projects
- Community sustainability projects
Every project is independently assessed to ensure it delivers genuine environmental benefits.
4. Drive Responsibly
Once your credits have been retired, you've successfully offset the emissions from your chosen driving distance.
It's a simple way to enjoy historic motoring while helping support projects that protect our planet for future generations.
Why Choose Net-Hero?
As HERO-ERA's sister company, Net-Hero specialises in helping individuals and businesses understand, reduce and offset their carbon emissions.
To ensure every offset delivers real impact, Net-Hero works with BeZero Carbon, one of the world's leading independent carbon ratings agencies.
This means every project is carefully assessed for quality, transparency and long-term environmental benefit before being included within the Net-Hero portfolio.
Even better, £1 from every tonne of carbon offset is donated to selected charities, helping create an even greater positive impact.
