FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a carbon credit?

A carbon credit represents a verified reduction, avoidance, or removal of greenhouse gas emissions, commonly measured as one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent. These credits are usually generated by carbon projects such as reforestation, renewable energy, conservation, or carbon removal projects.

How do carbon credits support businesses?

Carbon credits can help businesses compensate for selected emissions while they continue working on direct reduction measures. They are especially useful for emissions that are difficult to reduce immediately, such as some operational or transport-related emissions.

Why does carbon credit quality matter?

Not all carbon credits are the same. Quality depends on factors such as verification, project credibility, whether the project creates real impact, and whether benefits are properly measured. Recognised independent standards help provide greater confidence in the project’s impact.

What does ISCC mean?

ISCC stands for International Sustainability and Carbon Certification. It is a recognised certification system that supports sustainability, traceability, and responsible sourcing across supply chains.

When should businesses consider biodegradable products?

Businesses should consider biodegradable products for selected applications near water, soil, drainage areas, or environmentally sensitive sites, especially in marine, construction, agriculture, utility, landscaping, and outdoor industrial operations.

Do you offer biodegradable product options beyond Shell Panolin?

Yes. Shell Panolin is one of the biodegradable lubricant options Mecpec carries. We also support customers with sustainability-related product solutions such as Air1 AdBlue, with more details available in our Air1 AdBlue blog. For future diesel-related options, customers are encouraged to enquire based on availability and operational needs.
