Offset Sources donated through the Cleaner and Greener Program to offset
World Workplace 2003 Conference emissions
- Dupont Antron (Invista
Inc.) donated year 2003
vintage emission reductions of 37,825 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 11.7 million pounds of CO2 emissions.
- Leonardo Academy
donated and retired emission reductions to offset the SO2
emissions caused by this event. Source: U.S. EPA SO2
Allowance Serial Number 200200199986 purchased by the Cleaner and
Greener Program.
- Donations will continue to be gathered to support emission offsets from Conference Attendees, Exhibitors, and
Sponsors. Donations of $32 per attendee (Based on 4,500 attendees) would let us offset
