What is carbon offsetting?
We know many of our customers share our commitment to responsible plant hire and will want to reduce the carbon footprint of their hired-in machinery.
Plant hire is a greenhouse gas emissions offender. Electric machines for smaller categories are starting to be available but in the larger categories they continue to be underpowered and hugely more expensive than diesel machines. In the absence of any regulatory impositions, our view is that technology still needs to evolve and adoption will take time. This is likely to take years.
We need to take action now. Our view is that waiting for technology to catch up is not an option when the environmental crisis is becoming more severe as each week passes.
Carbon offsetting is your opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint of your hired-in machinery without impacting performance. Your CO₂ can be offset by paying a small amount each week that goes towards carbon reduction projects, to reduce emissions equivalent to those generated by your utilisation. You can offset all or part of your CO₂ output.
Carbon offsetting is important because it allows you to make a positive contribution to the environment when your emissions can't be avoided. In addition, investment in carbon offset projects can change lives, bringing economic, social and health improvements to whole communities.
How do you offset your hired-in plant?
We’ve made carbon offsetting simple and seamless.
When placing your order, simply let us know you’d like to offset your carbon footprint. It will appear as a separate line item on your order and invoice. If you’re using Synergy Rentals InSite, you’ll see an option to make your hire carbon neutral during the process.
Use your hired equipment as you normally would—no extra effort required.
Receive a monthly certificate detailing the amount of carbon you’ve offset for that period.
Access and view all your carbon offsetting certificates conveniently in your Synergy Rentals portal.

Today’s best carbon offset projects are the ones that not only have a big carbon reduction impact but also benefit communities, and that’s where ClimateCare comes in. They’re a brilliant example of this thinking and have a range of projects that deliver a wide range of benefits.
