While we are firmly convinced that elimination of our operational carbon footprint is imperative from an environmental perspective, we also feel that it highlights the fact that GPIP is very welcoming to innovation for doing something new and cutting edge.
“The only way we could start this is the way we did, because I don’t have jurisdiction over a private company’s operations.
As we look at working with railroad companies, it would be nice if they were going to eventually use like a hydrogen locomotive.
Prax, who we purchased the carbon credits from, would purchase them from us or tenants in the park and then offer them to other companies that need to clean up, or they can sell them back to that company,” Reams said.
… How can we do that out here? How can we use regenerative agricultural practices? Can we produce renewable energy on site? How will those things create these carbon credits that we are able to offer people that come into the park but also people outside the park?” Reams said.
“As we work to become the economic hub we have been in our past, we have to have those types of practices and those types of mindsets that are attractive to people that want to start up manufacturing but want to be environmentally conscious.
“Their capability in executing actionable decarbonization strategies make them an excellent first for GPIP.
Visionary leaders like Mr. Reams are fueling this movement with creative solutions for a more sustainable, regenerative economy — one that considers people and the plant alongside profit — and the world is hopping on board.
