A Commitment to Greener Gas
Good Energy is known for offering one of the greenest gas tariffs on the market. Currently, 10 percent of its gas product is sourced from renewable biogas produced in Britain. This 10 percent represents the maximum percentage of the UK’s gas demand that can be sustainably met with domestically generated biogas. To address the remaining 90 percent of emissions, SkootEco steps in, investing in biogas projects in underprivileged communities around the world.
