Isramart : First Official Carbon Offset Supplier to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic

Isramart news:
The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) has assessed the unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions from all their operations leading up to, and for holding the international event. As the first ever Official Carbon Offset Supplier to the olympic movement, we’re providing a portfolio of new, clean energy technology projects to offset these emissions.

The 2010 Winter Games’ footprint will be an estimated 110,000 tonnes of direct carbon emissions – all emissions that are directly attributable to the 2010 Winter Games like venue construction, facility heating, and athlete travel. Additionally, this event will produce 190,000 tonnes of ‘indirect’ emissions – emissions that are largely attributable to flights and accommodation for spectators, media, corporate sponsors and their partners.
