Zero Balance Program
Within the framework of International
Sustainability Initiative, Etech together with its partner
organisation Universidad de La Punta (La Punta University), San
Luis, Argentina is launching the “Zero Balance Program” in
Germany as well as internationally.
This program is geared to support public institutions, companies
and education institutions in reducing their CO2 emissions. A
user friendly CO2 calculator is used to determine the amount of
CO2 emitted followed by a 3 step process to achieve zero
emissions target.
Reduce: This is the
first step after determining the CO2 emissions. A range of
customised measures are taken to reduce the demand of energy and
thereby CO2.
Renew: The renewable energy technology is integrated to cater to
the already reduced energy need.
Balance: Once the energy needs are reduced to their minimum and
renewable energy sources are used, the final step is to offset
the CO2 emitted. In cooperation with partner organisations,
Etech works on various options to capture the remaining CO2
emitted.

3 Day International Greening Education Event (IGEE 2011) will be held from 27th to 29th of October 2010 in Karlsruhe, Germany.
