• Greenbuild Carbon Offset

    Since 2002 Greenbuild has offset 100% of carbon emissions related to the event activities. The scope of our footprint includes all emissions related to energy consumption at our host venue, celebration venue and occupied hotel room nights. It includes emissions from airline travel for all attendees and staff, freight and fuel for shipping and energy consumption related to all our virtual attendees. Please help us choose a project that our offsets will support. VOTING IS LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

  • Project Information & Impact

    Below is an outline of our Carbon Offset project choices for Greenbuild 2022. After reading about each, please cast your at the bottom of the page.
  • Crow Lake Winds - United States

  • Colorado & Montana Grasslands- USA

    Grasslands are an important and stable carbon store with 90% of their biomass below ground in the long roots of the grass. This project’s goal is to create financial incentives for conserving valuable grasslands that support rare and endangered endemic species. They’re also used as an outdoor school to teach5th grade students botany, zoology and geology.
  • Bhadla Solar - India

  • Sichuan Household Biodigester- China

    The project distributes small-scale biogas machines to low-income rural households with livestock. The biogas machines digest manure and recover the methane by-product through the process of anaerobic digestion. This offers clean and affordable energy to homes and fertilizer for agriculture. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the project improves indoor air quality and sanitation for rural communities.
  • Efficient Cookstoves - Rwanda

  • Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve- Borneo

    This project preserves carbon-dense tropical peat swamp by helping to halt deforestation of roughly 65,000hectares of forest which was originally slated for conversion to palm oil plantations. The project focuses on both community development – encompassing 2,000households living within the project area – and biodiversity conservation, particularly the protection of the endangered Borneo Orangutan.
  • Afognak Island Forest Preservation - United States

  • Domestic Energy Systems- India

    This domestic energy project distributes and maintains solar lighting and charging systems as well as clean biomass cookstoves to thousands of rural households across India. This replaces traditional kerosene lamps and open stoves. It significantly reduces fuel costs whilst reducing illnesses from indoor smoke and helping kids study in the evenings.
  • Afognak Island Forest Preservation - United States

  • Acre Amazonian Rainforest Conservation- Brazil

    This collection of three projects aims to prevent deforestation across105,000 hectares of pristine rainforest in the Amazon basin, protecting some of the world’s most biodiverse habitats. The project includes a range of benefits for local communities including agricultural education, doctors visits and the development of basic business skills.
  • Afognak Island Forest Preservation - United States

  • Teak Afforestation- Mexico

    This tree planting project create steak plantations to obtain high value, sustainable timber products and to sequester large amounts of carbon dioxide. This contributes to climate change mitigation while simultaneously creating jobs and restoring degraded land.
