AROUND TOWNER TERRAPASS: PRODUCT CONTENT LABEL

TerraPass is a Carbon Dioxide (CO2) offset product for vehicles. CO2 is a greenhouse gas (GHG) that contributes to climate change. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, vehicles release about 10,000 pounds of CO2 to the atmosphere per year on average. However, more efficient vehicles emit fewer pounds of CO2 and less efficient vehicles emit more. For each Around Towner TerraPass purchased, 6,000 lbs of CO2 reductions are purchased and retired on your behalf. TerraPass does not actually reduce the CO2 emissions of your vehicle, but offsets the release of 6,000 lbs of CO2 emissions elsewhere. TerraPass will not prevent the release of or offset the emissions of other pollutants from your vehicle, such as particulate matter, lead and oxides of nitrogen (NOx).This product matches 100% of your vehicle's estimated CO2 annual emissions.

This product is comprised of the following mix of RECs and carbon credits:

Renewable Energy Certificates

A REC represents the environmental attributes associated with a unit of renewable electricity. For every unit of renewable electricity generated, an equivalent amount of RECs are created. The purchase of RECs supports renewable electricity generation, which helps offset conventional electricity in the region where the renewable generator is located. RECs can be quantified in tons of CO2 based on regional data provided by the Department of Energy's E-GRID program.

The Green-e Program certifies that the RECs used in this product meet the minimum environmental and consumer protection standards established by the non-profit Center for Resource Solutions.

Carbon credit offsets

A Carbon Credit Offset represents the reduction of one unit of carbon (typically a metric ton) from a baseline scenario or regulatory requirement by an emitting entity. Carbon credits rely on the concept of flexible trading to allow that a market based system directs funding to the lowest marginal cost project areas.

Carbon Credits can be generated when a corporation or organization makes a reduction of carbon beyond a baseline scenario. The purchase of Carbon Credits helps support carbon reduction by giving a payment for each unit of carbon reduced beyond a baseline scenario. Where a protocol is available, TerraPass Carbon Credit Offsets are registered, and retired on the Chicago Climate Exchange.
