Sustainability

There are three fundamental ways businesses can “go green” to reduce their carbon footprint and improve overall environmental sustainability. They are:

  1. Installation of renewable energy resources such as solar panels

  2. Reduced use of energy and materials through retrofit projects and/or changes to business practices

  3. Buy renewable energy credits to support development of renewable energy resources on the grid

Verdigris Energy can be a resource to clients in several ways:

  • Accurate financial valuation of a sustainability project that generates energy or reduces energy demand (items 1 and 2 above)

  • Sourcing the most competitively priced renewable energy credits (item 3 above)

  • Facilitating participation in the EPA Green Power Partnership program

  • Benchmarking the carbon footprint (CO2 tons/yr) associated with consumption of electricity and natural gas during the most recent and prior years

  • Quantifying the projected reduction in CO2 tons/yr associated with a sustainability project that reduces future energy consumption
