Liverpool City Council is aiming to offset more than 110% of its carbon emissions by the first year, buying carbon credits in support of international forest conservation. The authority will trial the Poseidon Foundation's carbon-offsetting blockchain platform, which automatically adds the carbon credit cost of a purchase to its bill via an app. Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's already uses the platform to offset its carbon emissions.
