ORANGE, CA - , March 13, 2008 "“ Good Earthkeeping Organization Inc. announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, one of the country's leading carbon offset organizations. G.E.O. Inc. has offset over 72 metric tons of CO2 and is committed to making available to all its clients a carbon-neutral product and service. This commitment establishes G.E.O. Inc. as an environmental leader in the Environmental Remediation community and demonstrates the proactive steps G.E.O. Inc. is taking in the fight against global climate change.
Many of G.E.O. Inc.'s clients are very concerned about the impact of local emissions from environmental remediation projects on global warming. Considering the implications of climate change, carbon offsets through Carbonfund.org are a natural extension of the work G.E.O. Inc. does on behalf of its clients and stakeholders, which involves the sequestration and recovery of organic vapors from environmental remediation equipment for reuse or recycling.
Good Earthkeeping Organization Inc. identified Carbonfund.org as a complementary organization and a strategic partner that furthers the progress of its values. G.E.O. Inc. has been committed from the beginning to sustainably remediate soil and groundwater such that the present and future impact to humans and the environment is minimized. It cares deeply about the effects of environmental remediation impacts and transfer of waste in our environment by existing or historical methodologies, and it strives to provide an alternative sustainable and cost-effective remedial technology for the environmental remediation industry.
"One of the primary benefits of G.E.O. Inc.'s remediation technology is the ability to recover 'waste' and return it to the market as a reusable/recyclable product or fuel replacement. The missing link, which Carbonfund.org provides us and our clients, is the ability to offset the energy used to turn the waste into a reusable product," said Lowell Kessel, Vice President of G.E.O. Inc. "This creates significant value for us and our clients and moves us closer towards our vision."
"We're happy to help G.E.O in its mission of promoting efficiency through the recovery and return to the market of volatile organic compound waste," said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "Good Earthkeeping Organization Inc. is truly living up to its name with this new partnership."
About Good Earthkeeping Organization Inc.
G.E.O. Inc. was founded in 1989 as an environmental remediation services supplier specializing in the manufacturing and operation of in-situ vapor extraction equipment for the removal of high concentration volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the subsurface. G.E.O. Inc. developed and continues to improve upon a proprietary off-gas treatment technology designed for highly efficient, cost-effective recovery of VOCs from soil vapor extraction (SVE) and multi-phase extraction (MPE) systems. The off-gas treatment technology developed by G.E.O. Inc. combines cryogenic-cooling and compression with regenerative adsorption technology (C3-Technology) that allows for condensation and recovery of the VOCs in the form of non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) and has repeatedly demonstrated substantial cost-savings and effectiveness when compared to GAC and ThermOx systems at many sites with high concentrations of VOCs including solvents and fuels.
