With four options, including solar, wind, biomass and hydro, you have the choice of how your renewable energy dollars are spent. You have the power to designate how your $2.75 portion is used. Each renewable energy option has a varying amount of carbon dioxide offset per portion.
For example under current market prices, a $2.75 portion of solar supplies around 1,559 pounds of carbon dioxide offset. That’s the equivalent to removing emissions from consumption of 79 gallons of gasoline or annual greenhouse gas emissions from 1,754 miles/year driven by an average passenger vehicle.
If you purchase a $2.75 portion of wind, you offset around 4,973 pounds of carbon dioxide. That’s the equivalent to removing emissions from consumption of 253 gallons of gasoline or annual greenhouse gas emissions from 5,595 miles/year driven by an average passenger vehicle.
Purchasing a $2.75 portion of hydro offsets around 6,921 pounds of carbon dioxide. That’s the equivalent to removing emissions from consumption of 353 gallons of gasoline or annual greenhouse gas emissions from 7,787 miles/year driven by an average passenger vehicle.
If you purchase a $2.75 portion of biomass you offset around 311 pounds of carbon dioxide. That’s the equivalent to removing emissions from consumption of 16 gallons of gasoline or annual greenhouse gas emissions from 350 miles/year driven by an average passenger vehicle.
Plus, there’s no maximum of portions you can purchase. To increase the green benefits of envirowatts, you can purchase as many portions as you’d like.
