CCES is on the leading edge of Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) reduction programs. One of CCES’s business programs is performing Energy and GHG Audits.

Energy and GHG audits are conducted to help you understand your energy use and identify direct actions you need to take to reduce your energy costs without negatively impacting the operational needs of the organization.

There are several types of audits we perform. Depending on your company’s facility and needs, it could start with a basic audit leading up to more a comprehensive one. Once your facility has been assessed, CCES will provide recommendations on lowering energy use and reducing your current electricity and gas costs. CCES will then perform a GHG audit assessing direct stationary GHG emissions, transportation emissions, and indirect emissions.

CCES then generates a customer report for you that will include our recommendations on how to save energy by replacing inefficient equipment, lighting, etc. with high efficient equipment. By implementing these recommendations you will reduce your energy bill, GHG emissions and limit your environmental liability reducing the potential opportunity for lawsuits.

CCES will then highlight a report on the direct and indirect GHG emissions and help your company offset these emissions with our “Carbon Offset� programs improving your bottom line and making your company GHG/CO2 Neutral.

Some of the projects you could be a part of by offsetting your GHG/CO2 emissions are: 2008 Olympics, Detroit Regatta Gold Cup Boat Races, Woodward Dream Cruise, Greening of Detroit, Friends of Belle Isle, The Detroit Zoo. Carbon Offset Programs for these projects could include Renewable Energy, and Methane Recovery Reforestation.

CARBON CREDIT ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES IS TAKING THE 2008 OLYMPICS SLOGAN “ONE WORLD, ONE DREAM “LITERALLY

DETROIT, MI:
For Immediate Release

Carbon Credit Environmental Services (CCES) has committed to offsetting the greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide (GHG, CO2) emissions produced from several upcoming events; The 2008 Olympics in Beijing, The Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, and The Woodward Dream Cruise as well working with The Detroit River Regatta Association for The APBA Gold Cup Boat Races and Upland Hills Ecological Awareness Center for the Earth Day Expo at Oakland University.

CCES has interest from corporations as far away as Japan, Dubai, China and Europe as well as North America. Officials from CCES consider the threat of global warming a challenge for every individual and corporation, and urge action to secure the future for all generations.

“Offsetting can be accomplished with alternative energy projects, wind, solar, methane recovery for energy use. Just think about it, an alternative energy providing clean water, and clean air for ONE WORLD�, says CCES President Mike Dolkowski.

CCES has patented a LCA/GHG, CO2 analysis to assist corporations to provide a GHG, CO2 neutral product. This certification program has improved the bottom line of corporations while making their commitment to truly be “GREEN�.

“Just think�, you can purchase a bar of soap, candy bar, automobile, etc. that has a GHG, CO2 certification logo knowing this product has funded clean energy projects and reforestation projects worldwide. Everyone needs to be part of the global effort to offset an estimated 848,219,178 pounds of GHG, CO2 emissions from these events“, Dolkowski concluded

Carbon Credit Environment Services has also created a “Carbon Neutral� travel site that anyone can use to make travel arrangements and the travel will be offset by CCES: www.ccestravel.com

How can an earth day event Possibly be any greener?

Detroit, MI:
For Immediate Release

The Third Annual Earth Day Expo on April 19th, 2008 is presented by the Upland Hills Ecological Awareness Center, located on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester MI. The center will partner with Detroit based Carbon Credit Environmental Services (CCES) to offset the greenhouse gas emissions and carbon dioxide emissions (GHG, CO2) created by the event thus creating a “neutral emissions� or “carbon neutral� event.

This will be achieved by a GHG, CO2 energy audit performed by CCES that will calculate how much CO2 is utilized during the event. They will estimate the energy used for the building, the emissions created by the estimated 5000 visitors traveling to the expo, and water usage during the event.

Then CCES will “offset� these emissions with local alternative energy projects. These projects could include working with Friends of Belle Isle, Greening of Detroit, The Detroit Zoo and others. Organizers of the event will also use biodegradable paper goods for all food services to further offset the impact on the environment of the event.

Further information on ways you can participate in offsetting this event or projects can be found on the CCES website: www.getcarboncreditco2.com

CCES is located in TechTown, an internationally recognized high tech village in the city of Detroit affiliated with Wayne State University. CCES provides GHG, CO2, and Energy audits for companies, providing ways to reduce energy costs and reduce their “Carbon Footprint� or impact on the environment.

The eventual goal is for a company to become “Carbon Neutral� with these recommendations and with investments in Carbon Offsets. Besides local projects, current carbon offset projects include methane recovery in India and the United States, non-edible oil plants in India, tree sinks in Ecuador and China, wind energy and tree plantings in the United States. #

Everyone knows that change can be difficult and costly. This is certainly true for energy use. But change brings the opportunity for increased efficiency. The process of achieving increased efficiency begins with an energy audit for your company. An audit provides an accounting of your company’s energy usage (electricity, natural gas, etc.) and energy consumption (lighting, computers, HVAC, etc.)

A similar accounting can be conducted for the raw materials of a manufacturing process. Then increased efficiencies are identified. The relative costs of these changes versus the energy and raw material savings are calculated. It is important to recognize that energy and raw material prices have increased dramatically in recent years. Global economic trends are driving these price increases and they are not likely to change in the coming years.

Another direct cost which needs to be considered is a “carbon tax�. It is now clear that emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) will no longer be “free�. In the near future there will be significant economic costs associated with all green house gas (GHG) emissions. Along with direct costs there are the indirect costs to the planet of climate change. These effects have the potential to be even greater than direct costs and could even be disastrous. The motivation to make changes is clear: maximum efficiency leads to minimum consumption which in turn leads to minimum cost. In today’s rapidly changing global economy this is the only viable long term strategy.

Once maximum feasible efficiency gains have been achieved, some CO2 and GHG emissions will remain. The negative effects of these emissions can be counteracted by “carbon offsets�. There are two main categories of carbon offsets: carbon sequestration and carbon displacement. Carbon sequestration means removing CO2 from the atmosphere. This is achieved through reforestation projects since trees absorb CO2 as they grow. These reforestation projects are typically located in tropical areas where trees grow faster. Carbon displacement means preventing fossil fuel consumption by using renewable energy instead. Currently, many examples of renewable energy are being explored and developed. Biogas can be generated by anaerobic digestion of organic materials and can be used to generate electricity. Biodiesel can be produced from vegetable and animal oils and can be used as transportation fuel. Wind turbines can be used to generate electricity. Solar panels can be used to generate both heat and electricity. Carbon Credit Environmental Services (CCES) generates carbon offsets directly through reforestation and renewable energy projects. The direct involvement of CCES guarantees the legitimacy of these carbon offsets.

The economic reasons described above are amplified by political reasons as well. At the federal level there is considerable debate about the best approach to GHG regulation. One method is a flat rate carbon tax which charges a certain amount per metric ton of emissions. Another approach is a “cap and trade� system based on the existing system for sulfur emissions from power plants. The “cap and trade� system for sulfur emissions is widely considered to be a success and could be a model for a similar system for other green house gases. Presidential candidates Clinton, Obama and McCain are all on record supporting “cap and trade�. At the state level, California is leading the way with AB 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. This regulation makes the California Air Resources Board responsible for monitoring and reducing GHG emissions.

AB32 has led to a variety of different strategies for achieving GHG reduction. One example is labeling consumer products with the GHG emissions associated with their production and distribution. Many other states are promoting alternative energy with Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS’s). These mandate that a percentage of total energy production must come from renewable energy sources. According to the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, Oregon, Illinois and New Hampshire all have RPS’s that require 25% renewable energy by 2025.

We are entering a new era in the American economy. Business decisions will not be made on monetary considerations alone. GHG emissions are now an essential factor in determining long term business viability and profitability. The result will be substantial, if not dramatic, changes in the structure and development of our economy.
