Granite Air Center Achieves Carbon Neutrality

Granite Air Center, a member of World Fuel Services Air Elite Network, has long believed in the importance of doing what they can to reduce their environmental impact.

In 2018, the company installed a 200-kilowatt solar array at its facility, the largest solar array in the City of Lebanon, NH at the time. In 2019, Granite Air purchased carbon offsets to make up for its Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions. Scope 1 emissions include all direct emissions from the company’s operations, such as heating the buildings, operating vehicles and equipment, etc., while scope 2 emissions primarily include the carbon footprint of the production of electricity consumed by the company. The company hopes to achieve Scope 3 carbon neutrality in the coming years.

The company is working towards converting much of its equipment and vehicles to electrically powered equipment to further reduce emissions at the source, in addition to improvements such as LED lighting to reduce direct energy consumption.
