Expoenergética, which will
take place on November 19th - 21st at Fira de Valencia, aims at
becoming one of the first environmentally neutral event held in Spain. The
agreement between the organisation of the fair, Five Continents, and
Zeroemissions will allow to carry out an inventory of all direct and indirect
sources of emissions of greenhouse effect gases for their subsequent
neutralisation. According to the event organizers press release, both the
exhibiting companies, which are more than 100, and the visitors will be able to
actively contribute with this environmental initiative, by buying carbon credits
which prevent or reduce the CO2 emissions somewhere else around the world. Some
world events which have previously erased their carbon footprint are the World
Football Cup held in Germany
in 2006 or the G8 summit in Gleneagles,
United Kingdom.
