AAR Commits to Renewable Energy

AAR CORP. announced that it has purchased Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), equivalent to 100 percent of the company’s purchased electricity used across their North American operations, through 2010. This purchase of RECs is the largest to date by an aviation services company among partners in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Green Power Partnership. An REC purchase ensures that the amount of electricity a company or an individual uses is replaced onto the power grid with renewable electricity. AAR is purchasing 27,500,000 kilowatt hours (KWh) of
RECs per year from an array of clean generation sources across the United States that includes wind, biomass and low-impact hydroelectric. These clean resources generate electricity without producing carbon dioxide or other harmful pollutants.
