Desalination plant's climate action plan wins award

The climate action plan developed for Poseidon Resource's Carlsbad Desalination Project has received an Engineering Excellence Merit Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies California.
Each year, the nonprofit association's prestigious Engineering Excellence Awards recognize projects that benefit local communities and California as a whole. As part of its climate action plan, Poseidon will use a number of industry-leading initiatives to minimize its energy consumption.
The plan features state-of-the-art efficiency measures, green-building design, solar panels, purchasing renewable energy credits and funding carbon offset projects, including a pledge to plant 5,000 trees in areas damaged by the 2007 wildfires.
Poseidon's plan will reduce the project's overall energy requirements and neutralize the facility's carbon footprint. Construction of the project, which will provide enough drinking water to annually serve 300,000 residents, is scheduled to start this summer and be operational in 2011.
