Ameresco’s Environmental Impact
We have a goal to reduce our customers’ carbon footprints by a cumulative 500 million metric tons by 2050. In 2023, our renewable energy assets and customer projects delivered an emissions reduction of approximately 16 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, and over 110 million cumulative metric tons since going public in 2010. This carbon offset is approximately equal to one of the following:
~41,000,000,000
miles driven by an average passenger vehicle (GhG emission equivalency)
~2,000,000
homes’ energy use for one year
(carbon dioxide emission equivalency)
~19,000,000
acres of U.S. forests in one year
(carbon sequestration equivalency)
