A New Resource to Solve the Puzzle of Cutting Supply Chain Emissions
Boston, MA – November 17, 2025
World Energy has released a new guide to help companies understand how they can use insetting to meet their decarbonization goals.
With clear language and helpful graphics, From Talk to Transformation: Meeting Decarbonization Goals with Carbon Insets draws on World Energy’s experience bringing carbon insets to market and covers all facets of insetting today:
- How insets work and why they are the most efficient and cost-effective way to accelerate decarbonization in hard-to-abate sectors like aviation, shipping, and steel.
- How insets are different than offsets.
- How insets maximize verifiable, real-world results right now, using sustainable aviation fuel as an example.
- How early movers across industries are using this approach to address Scope 3 emissions, laying the foundation for a collaborative model of shared climate responsibility.
Insets are emission-reductions that occur within the same sector the emissions are produced. This enables businesses to purchase insets that mirror their operations and decarbonize within their own value chain. They are the most efficient and effective way to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors like aviation, shipping, and steel.
World Energy has been a leader in bringing carbon insets to customers with Scope 3 aviation emissions. This playbook draws on important insights from that experience, as well as our collaboration across the inset ecosystem.
“We created this playbook to help people understand how insets are becoming the new currency for decarbonization,” says Scott Lewis, President of World Energy Net Zero Services. “Insetting is most mature in aviation, but we firmly believe it will eventually be used to decarbonize everything from concrete to cars to coffee cups. It’s practical, it’s traceable and it actually works.”
From Talk to Transformation is intended for companies that want to reduce Scope 3 emissions and other decarbonization stakeholders – from market innovators, standard setters, regulators, and investors, to low-carbon producers, developers, and journalists. It is easy to read but not superficial.
“We invite anyone and everyone who’s concerned that decarbonization isn’t happening fast enough to download From Talk to Transformation,” continues Lewis. “It makes sense of carbon insetting and sets out a path forward to achieve net-zero goals in today’s world.”
