Since 2019, ZAIS’s New Jersey based business has attained carbon neutrality across scope 1, 2 and select scope 3
emissions through the annual purchase, registration and retirement of carbon credits. Our employees selected the
following certified offset projects for 2024:
-
Educating the Next Generation Workforce
Set on a 36,000-acre plot in South Dakota and comprising
of 108 1.5MW wind turbines, the Crow Lake Wind
Farm displaces fossil fuel-generated energy, meeting
growing demands with clean energy and helping drive a low
carbon future for the mid-west. In addition to generating
clean energy, the project is building the next generation-in-energy
workforce.
-
North Caroline Through Waste
The Davidson County Gas-To-Energy Project is a municipal
solid waste facility in Lexington, North Carolina. Operating
at a 1.6 MW capacity, the project collects and combusts
landfill gas to generate renewable energy. This project
captures methane and carbon dioxide that would have
otherwise been emitted into the atmosphere, thus reducing
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is estimated to reduce
50,000 tCO2e annually.
We look forward to maintaining our carbon neutrality and seeing which projects our team selects in the coming years.
