Healdsburg, Calif.-based Rodney Strong Vineyards winery has achieved carbon-neutral status, according to owner, Tom Klein.
NativeEnergy is working with the winery to counterbalance carbon emissions with purchased carbon-offset credits benefiting projects that create new renewable energy, including the Greensburg Wind Farm Project in Kansas.
‘I'm proud to say that now, in 2009, we've become carbon neutral and hold ourselves accountable for our winery's carbon footprint,’ says Klein.
Rodney Strong also recently became a member of The Climate Registry, where the winery will calculate and report emissions of winery and vineyard greenhouse gases, allowing the company to mitigate and offset those emissions.
