LiveNeutral Chooses Greenhouse Gas Services as Its Exclusive Carbon Offset Provider

ARLINGTON, Va. & OTTAWA--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--LiveNeutral, a North American outreach and greenhouse gas emissions offsetting organization, has selected Greenhouse Gas Services, a GE AES venture, as its exclusive supplier of carbon credits for organizations and individuals.

“Our partnership with Greenhouse Gas Services will give people the opportunity to offset emissions with high quality carbon credits that have been third-party verified to ensure authenticity”

Greenhouse Gas Services will supply credits to LiveNeutral from a landfill gas project in New Bedford, MA. Owned and operated by New Bedford County, the project captures methane gas and uses the gas to produce electricity. An independent third party will use Greenhouse Gas Services’ standard of practice to verify that each credit represents a real, additional and permanent reduction of greenhouse gases. Financial details of the transaction, including volume of offsets to be purchased by LiveNeutral, were not disclosed.

“Our partnership with Greenhouse Gas Services will give people the opportunity to offset emissions with high quality carbon credits that have been third-party verified to ensure authenticity,” said Tom Baumann, CEO of ClimateCHECK and LiveNeutral, “We selected Greenhouse Gas Services as our provider of carbon offsets based on the company’s high-quality, transparent standard of practice and project protocols, and its commitment to stringent due diligence.”

LiveNeutral is a grassroots organization that enables individuals and organizations to calculate their emissions on-line at www.LiveNeutral.com and purchase carbon offsets. The organization has built successful carbon management campaigns with companies like DuPont, AEP and the University of Colorado.

“We are excited that LiveNeutral decided to exclusively use Greenhouse Gas Services’ credits for retail customers,” said Mauricio Vargas, CEO of Greenhouse Gas Services.
