Kaeser Compressors Back Carbon-Neutral Transport

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — Kaeser Compressors Inc. is now a participant in the UPS carbon-neutral program and will absorb the additional cost of each shipment without passing the fees on to our customers.

The money generated will be used by UPS to invest in carbon offset programs as part of the company’s commitment to maintain the quality of the environment.

“Our products not only operate with exceptional energy efficiency and maximum environmental-compatibility, but we also use natural resources as little as possible in production, sales and service,” said Frank Mueller, company president. “The UPS carbon-neutral program is an additional tool for Kaeser to operate more sustainably on a daily basis.”

 Reliable offsets begin with accurate carbon calculations, and UPS calculates offsets based on actual shipping activity for envelopes, packages and freight. UPS’s offset purchases neutralize the calculated carbon impact from shipping by reducing it elsewhere.

A certified, market-based financial instrument, carbon offsets are designed to mitigate greenhouse gas emission through reforestation, methane and landfill gas destruction, wastewater treatment and other programs.
