How does urban reclamation work in Illinois?
Urban reclamation involves discovering blighted or abandoned properties in urban areas throughout Illinois where others do not want to invest. These properties can be used to help offset carbon by sequestering carbon via tree plantings and beautifying the neighborhood, or serve as a renewable energy source by placing solar panels on the property.
How is methane captured in Illinois?
One pound of methane can trap 25 times more heat in the atmosphere than one pound of carbon dioxide. But methane is also the main ingredient in natural gas, so it is valuable to capture it before it escapes from landfills or farms into the atmosphere.
In landfills, when trash is decomposing in a hill, gas collection pipes or wells can be installed on top to capture and pipe the methane out, which can then be transported to a generation facility and burned to produce heat or generate electricity.
A similar process is used on farms, to capture methane from manure and other farm waste.
How do I figure out how much carbon is in my Illinois business?
If you are a corporation or business based in Illinois, it’s best to have a custom carbon audit. Auditing your energy use, travel, food service, and other factors can be tricky without help. Our team can help you perform an accurate carbon audit to help you make the right choices.
