Porsche Impact - Actively offset your emissions

Porsche Impact is a solution that enables you to offset your CO₂ emissions from driving your vehicle by directly funding certified projects.

Sustainability is a central business objective of Porsche. With this in mind we are aiming to reduce the CO₂ produced across the entire value chain. Our scope of activities include; harvesting green energy from wind, water, and solar sources at all sites and a carbon neutral rail logistics system. With the launch of Porsche Impact, we are now also offsetting the CO₂ emissions caused by the vehicles of the Porsche AG internal fleet as well as the Porsche Cars Great Britain fleet, including the vehicles used at the Porsche Experience Centre in Silverstone.

To discover how you can make a difference and to join the Porsche Impact initiative watch the film above and explore this page for further information on the programme.

The Context

In recent decades, Zimbabwe has suffered from political and economic turbulence. With limited economic opportunities, desperate communities have delved deeper into the forests, clearing it for subsistence farming and fuelwood. More than a third of Zimbabwe’s majestic forests have been lost. Creating further instability for people with already precarious livelihoods.

The Project

Spanning nearly 785,000 hectares on the southern shores of Lake Kariba near Zimbabwe’s Zambian border, the Kariba REDD+ Project connects four national parks and eight safari reserves. This giant biodiversity corridor protects an expansive forest and numerous vulnerable and endangered species – including the African elephant, lion and southern ground hornbill.

The Benefit

Beyond environmental protection, Kariba REDD+ supports a range of initiatives that promote community independence and wellbeing. Better clinic amenities improve healthcare, new roads and boreholes ameliorate daily life, and school subsidies are offered to the poorest quartile of the population. The project also promotes jobs, facilitating sustainable incomes that benefit the entire region.

The Context

China is the world’s most populous country and a major global economic power, yet coal and other polluting fossil fuels still dominate its energy mix. As the Chinese economy grows and diversifies further, tension between industry and environmental and social pressures are rising, with related challenges such as air pollution plaguing many of its densely populated cities. Renewable energy projects are a key means for China to power its booming economy sustainably, whilst reducing greenhouse gas emissions and associated social problems like air pollution.

The Project

Located in North China’s coastal province of Hebei, the Danjinghe Wind Project features 207 turbines of mixed installed capacities totaling 200 MW. Together, these turbines harness prevailing local winds to generate 438,000 MWh of clean energy annually. The electricity generated is supplied to the North China Power Grid through a Purchase Power Agreement (PPA) to power tens of thousands of local Chinese homes and businesses.

The Benefits

As well as reducing emissions and increasing the share of renewable energy in North China’s energy mix, this project is boosting local economies – in its construction and operation, the Danjinghe Wind Project has created 40 job opportunities. In supplying local Chinese homes and industry with affordable clean energy, the project is also reducing over 400,000 tones of carbon dioxide equivalent every year. What’s more, by displacing dirty energy from fossil fuel fired power stations, the project is contributing to improved air quality in China’s cities.

The Context

Coal-fired power stations are a major source of electricity in Vietnam, leading to high emissions and poor air quality in the areas surrounding these energy plants. To combat this and meet growing energy demands sustainably, the Vietnamese Government plans to increase access to clean electricity, such as hydropower.

The Project

On the banks of the A Vuong River in Central Vietnam’s Quang Nam province, the Za Hung Hydropower station has a total installed capacity of 30 MW. The plant features two turbines that harness the power of running water to rotate endlessly, generating enough renewable electricity each year to power almost 20,000 local homes.

The Benefits

Clean hydroelectricity displaces fossil fuel-generated energy to reduce emissions, but that’s not all – local communities also enjoy better grid connection, improved infrastructure, and cleaner air. In addition, the project supports regional sustainable development by creating jobs and funding the construction of roads and houses, while a grant fund donates to households affected by severe floods.

The Context

Afognak, the second-largest island on the Kodiak Archipelago off Alaska’s southern coast, is home to wildlife such as the huge Kodiak brown bear and many fish, including rainbow trout, Arctic char, and five species of Pacific salmon. However, evidence of a pervasive timber industry scars Afognak, marring its otherwise pristine wilderness landscape.

The Project

The Afognak Forest Carbon project comprises 8,219 acres of low elevation, coastal temperate rainforests. The project sequesters carbon by protecting these forests in perpetuity, which were previously managed for timber production and subject to clear-cut logging. 15% of productive land in the area, subjected to clear-cut logging since the 1980s, and was left to regenerate naturally, with little success. The remaining unlogged areas are covered by native, old-growth 200-year-old Sitka Spruce forests, lakes, wetlands and small streams.

The Benefits

The Afognak Forest Carbon project enhances biodiversity, water, and all attributes of the local environment by protecting the existing forest as an intact, fully-functioning ecosystem. Project management has low impact, focussing on salvage, restoration and preventative management on small areas annually. Moreover, while the project has a 30-year crediting period, its ancient forests will be protected forever.

Emissions Estimator

In order to estimate your vehicle's CO₂ emissions, please state the individual consumption of your vehicle and your estimated mileage. Using the information you provide on your vehicle and the selected project, Porsche estimates the emitted tons of CO₂ and the respective offset value.

Sustainability is an important topic for Porsche and a central topic in the Porsche Strategy 2025. Porsche is inventing and implementing measures across the entire value chain for avoiding and reducing CO2 emissions. However, we are not just looking at future developments, we are also looking at how we can impact the Porsche vehicles that are already on the road today. Over 70 percent of all Porsche vehicles ever built are still on the road today. With Porsche Impact we give our current drivers the opportunity to offset the CO2 emissions via direct funding of certified projects.

FAQ Porsche Impact

Change country/region:

* Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since 01 September 2018 all new cars are approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP). You can find more information on WLTP at www.porsche.com/wltp. From 01 January 2019, all fuel consumption figures are shown as determined in accordance with WLTP. CO₂ figures will be shown as NEDC-equivalent values, as CO₂ based taxation will continue to be based on an NEDC value (derived from WLTP) until 06 April 2020. For Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) range and Equivalent All Electric Range (EAER) figures are determined with the battery fully charged, using a combination of both battery power and fuel.

Values are provided for comparison only. To the extent that fuel and energy consumption or CO₂ values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. Optional features and accessories can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics which may result in a change in fuel or energy consumption and CO₂ values. Vehicle loading, topography, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual driving styles, can all affect the actual fuel consumption, energy consumption, electrical range, and CO₂ emissions of a car.
