Peerless JAL is now offsetting 100% of its scope 1 & 2 Emissions Australia Wide. We believe this to be a big step in our continuing journey of fulfilling our responsibility to the environment as a Corporate Citizen.
Carbon Emissions are defined as emissions of: CO2, SF6, CH4, N2O, HFCs and PFC’s from the Company.
Scope 1 emission are all emissions from: Company Owned Vehicles, Fuel Combustion, refrigeration and explosives.
Scope 2: All purchased electricity.
This includes our production and operational emissions.
We undertook a study with a leading educational institution to calculate our emissions and have since identified a worthy cause to offset our emissions.
The project we have chosen has been Developed under the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism, this project reduces the need for thermal power and cuts global C02 emissions by 40,000 tonnes per annum.
The Hubei Hefeng Yanzi Town ‘Baishun Village’ Taohuashan hydro station is a small run-off-river project developed under the Kyoto Protocol to help establish renewable sources of energy.
Commencing in April 2007 it uses state of the art environmentally friendly run-of-river hydro power technology, to maximise the reduction of Greenhouse Gas emissions.
The Baishun Village small hydro project was constructed using the latest run- off- river technology, without the environmental impact of older large projects, which are often considered unsustainable due to ecosystem destruction and the displacement of local inhabitants.
Small hydro projects such as Baishun Village produce no waste, no CO2 and are one of the most environmentally sustainable forms of electricity generation. These facts coupled with a very stable load factor make Hydro a perfect choice for electricity generation and Peerless JAL.
For companies and individuals, like us, working towards reducing their impact on the earth’s resources Peerless JAL is an ideal partner.
This was a long and challenging road for us to achieve but are very happy that we have done so for all of our stakeholders.
