Advanced Global Trading Encourages Motoring Enthusiasts To Offset Emissions At The 2011 Dubai International Motor Show
Carbon Credit traders attempt to convince motoring enthusiasts at Dubai's top motor show to 'go green'.
- (1888PressRelease) November 11, 2011 - Carbon trading brokerage, Advanced Global Trading (AGT), has arguably the toughest sell of all at this year's Dubai International Motor Show as it tries to convince motoring enthusiasts to 'go green' and offset their vehicles' carbon emissions.
Steve Graham, Senior Consultant at AGT, says: "We know we have a tough job on our hands to convince these car fanatics - many of whom own gas guzzling supercars - to offset the CO2 their vehicles emit into the environment. However, given we're the only carbon brokers in the Middle East we've decided to exhibit at the Motor Show to highlight the environmental issues and raise people's awareness as much anything else. The UAE has one of the highest per capita CO2 emission rates in the world and cars are responsible for huge part of this with over a million vehicles registered in Dubai alone."
Anyone wanting to offset their vehicular emissions provides details, including car make, model and annual number of kilometres driven and AGT provides a quote after calculating the cost of retiring the equivalent number of Carbon Credits over the given period of time in order to negate the environmental impact. The value of the Carbon Credits is ploughed into green initiatives, such as wind turbines, solar energy and greenhouse gas capturing projects, which in turn help the environment.
Mr Graham adds: "Anyone looking to offset their emissions retrospectively or over a future number of months or years, can speak to one of our consultants and ensure the effect on the environment of their vehicle's emissions are minimised."
Kevin Smalling (32) originally from the UK, but living in Dubai, says: "I just received a quote of Dh200 to offset the emissions of my Porsche Cayenne Turbo for a year and I'm very environmentally conscious, so will definitely consider purchasing the credits."
The Dubai International Motor Show is the region's largest automotive event, which runs from 10-14 November 2011 at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, with over 150 exhibitors from around the world taking part. The show is open from 6pm-10pm on Thursday 10 November, 3pm-10pm on Friday 11 November and 11am-10pm on 12, 13, 14 November.
