The IMPT carbon mechanic.
One-pager · 2026-05-03
What IMPT pays for, in one line: ~1 tonne of CO₂ removed per booking — about 28 hotel nights' worth — funded out of IMPT's commission, not the guest's bill.
How it works
- Guest books a hotel on IMPT (impt.io) at the same price as the major OTAs. Free cancellation.
- IMPT receives a commission from the hotel/aggregator — same as Booking, Expedia, etc.
- From that commission, IMPT funds the purchase of high-quality carbon credits.
- Those credits are retired on a public on-chain ledger so the offset is provable, not just asserted.
- One booking ≈ one tonne ≈ ~28 hotel nights' worth of carbon removed.
Why this is different
- Same supply. ~8M properties · 195 countries.
- Same price. The price you see is the price you pay.
- No guilt-tax. The customer doesn't add an "offset" line at checkout — IMPT pays for it.
- Verifiable. Retirements live on-chain. No "we planted a tree somewhere".
What we don't claim
- That every hotel on IMPT is itself "green-certified". We book what guests want; we offset the consequence.
- That offsets are a substitute for emissions reductions. They aren't. They're an honest fix for what's left.
- That carbon offsets work everywhere. We use a quality bar, not the cheapest credit on the market.
