Digital tokens may be used to reduce buyers' scope 3 emissions
DENVER, Jan. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- PureWest Energy, LLC ("PureWest"), an independent natural gas company based in Wyoming's Green River Basin, today announced a request for proposals (RFP) for the purchase of low-methane, freshwater-friendly certified natural gas. Buyers will also receive blockchain-based Certified Environmental Tokens™ (CETs) containing the environmental attributes associated with the certified gas, made possible through PureWest's recently announced collaboration with EarnDLT ("Earn") and Project Canary.

Administered by Earn, a blockchain-based emissions accounting system, CETs provide buyers with a comprehensive and irrefutable accounting of the environmental performance associated with producing PureWest gas, 100% of which receives Project Canary environmental risk TrustWell™ assessments. Using book and claim accounting, buyers may use these digital tokens to offset their own environmental impacts, including reducing scope 3 emissions.
Each CET includes an accounting of PureWest's scope 1 methane emissions. The remaining emissions may be offset by registered voluntary carbon offsets. PureWest has also calculated its scope 2 emissions using an independent third party. Scope 2 emissions can be prorated for an associated volume of gas and may also be offset. These scope 1 and 2 carbon-neutral CETs, which package certified gas with registered carbon offsets, are a rigorous and defensible way for buyers to reduce their scope 3 emissions further.
RFP responses are due by 5:00 p.m. PST on January 31, 2023. The RFP and bid instructions are available on the PureWest website at: https://purewest.com/
PureWest invites interested bidders to learn more by registering for a virtual event featuring presenters from Project Canary, and Earn, on January 26, 2023 at 7:00 a.m. PST: https://projectcanary.zoom.us/webinar/register/1716727657775/WN_jt2w15CkQIetm8DK_MNJpQ
