NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2024 (Globe Newswire) — Energy Marketing Conference (EMC) announces its commitment to achieving carbon-neutral status for the upcoming 21st Energy Marketing Conference (EMC21). The event is scheduled to take place March 18-19, 2024 at the Hilton Post Oak in Houston, Texas. EMC plans to offset a total of 73 metric tons (MT) of carbon emissions associated with the conference and its attendees, marking a significant step toward environmental responsibility.
EMC's Carbon Neutral Initiative:
To ensure the credibility of our carbon offset efforts, EMC utilizes a program in which 100% of our carbon offsets are verified against widely recognized standards by independent third-party verifiers. Key standards include the Verified Carbon Standard, Gold Standard, American Carbon Registry, CSA Group, and Climate Action Reserve. This rigorous approach ensures that you obtain the highest quality carbon offsets.
A carbon offset represents a 1 ton (2,205 lb) reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions. These offsets are generated through projects specifically aimed at reducing CO2 emissions, with one carbon offset calculated for every tonne of emissions reduced.
Jack Doueck, co-founder of Energy Marketing Conferences, expressed the organization's dedication to combating climate change. “As leaders in the competitive energy industry, it is our responsibility to make a positive contribution to this global challenge,” he said. EMC's approach includes purchasing carbon offsets for all plane and car travel of participants in addition to hotel emissions, with Shell Energy working with him as sponsor of this initiative. Masu.
