Expected Offsets:
- Invista Inc. will donate year 2003
vintage emission reductions of 34,529 pounds of nitrous oxide (N2O)
emissions resulting from an emissions reduction project at the Sabine River
Works plant in Orange, TX. Using U.S. EPA global warming potential
equivalence factors, this has the same global warming reduction impact as a
reduction of 10.7 million pounds of CO2 emissions.
- Johnson Controls Inc.
is expected to donate emission reductions from one of their internal
manufacturing facility energy efficiency projects.
- Leonardo Academy will donate emission reductions with a value of $116 to
offset the SO2 emissions caused by this event. Source: U.S. EPA
SO2 Allowance Serial Number 200400174985 purchased by the Cleaner
and Greener Program in 2004.
- Philips Lighting
North America is expected to donate emission reductions from one of
their internal manufacturing facility energy efficiency projects.
- Renewable Choice Energy is expected to donate 500,042 kWh of Green-e
certified American Wind(tm) renewable certificates to offset the emissions
from both the conference space and the restaurant meals. The value of this
donation is equal to 696,058 pounds of CO2 or $10,000.
- The 3 Phases-PacifiCorp Partnership will donate 147,000 kWh of
Stateline Wind Energy Renewable Certificates with emissions representing the
offsetting of 294,000 pounds of CO2, 528 pounds of SOx emissions
as well as 511 pounds of NOx emissions.
The following individuals made donations to the Cleaner and Greener Program
to offset the emissions from this event. (Donations were used to purchase and
retire Green-e certified American Wind(tm) renewable certificates and 170
pounds of SO2 Emission Allowances at the
