The partnership between Lanforce Energy and SIMA Funds has contributed significantly to the company’s carbon footprint reduction and environmental sustainability. The company has made substantial strides in mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the adoption of sustainable energy solutions and the implementation of innovative technologies.
The installation of tiny digester units is a notable contribution to the reduction of Lanforce’s carbon footprint. These devices are essential for converting organic waste into biogas, a source of renewable energy. Utilizing biogas as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels contributes to the struggle against climate change by reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
Each tiny digester unit installed by them can reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 5 metric tons on average. The cumulative impact of the company’s installation of a significant number of these units to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has been remarkable. Approximately 2,500 metric tons of carbon emissions have been reduced due to these efforts. This reduction is equivalent to removing hundreds of automobiles from the road for an entire year, demonstrating the tangible environmental benefits of renewable energy solutions.
Lanforce’s efforts to implement these eco-friendly technologies have been significantly aided by SIMA Funds’ resources and guidance. SIMA Funds enabled them to expand their operations and implement more digester units in underserved communities by providing financial assistance and strategic guidance. The partnership has facilitated the expansion of the company’s influence, resulting in a cascading effect of reduced carbon emissions throughout the regions they serve.
