This agreement is with IGF Insurance Company, the fourth largest crop insurer in the U.S. to buy up to 2.8 million carbon dioxide equivalent emission reduction credits. TransCanada is exporting expertise to South America through the sale of meter stations that include new technology to reduce methane emissions. The meter stations, built in Alberta by TransCanada, will be installed on Gas Pacifico's 860-kilometre pipeline from Argentina to Chile. The new technology prevents the release of 400 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year per station. TransCanada continues to work in partnership with the Tree Canada Foundation, a non-governmental organization whose mandate is to plant trees, and to foster an awareness and appreciation for Canada's forests.
Trees play an important role in the carbon cycle, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Through its partnership with TransCanada, Tree Canada planted over one million trees in 1999. Since 1996, more than six million trees have been planted and approximately three million tonnes of carbon dioxide will be removed from the atmosphere as a direct result of this partnership.
