EGSA Is a GREEN Association

Because of its influential position in an industry largely comprised of fossil-fuel-powered generators, EGSA has taken a leading position on promoting environmentally friendly technologies and practices.

Powerline Article: Emissions -- Reducing CO and PM from Engine Exhaust

EGSA's Green Initiatives

Here are a few of the ways EGSA is addressing green technology and opportunities:

  • We have formed a "Green Committee" which has the following mission:

    "The Committee’s purpose is to promote the growing field of green technologies and educate EGSA members of new and existing business opportunities.  This will include green programs, regulations, policies and procedures that may be used to lower emissions, reduce their carbon footprint and improve business profits."

    Visit the committee's page now.
  • We periodically release "Green Advisories" to our members regarding specific news or timely information about "green" technology. See the most current advisories at left.
  • We actively recruit speakers at our semi-annual conferences to address environmental issues and opportunities. See a list of our upcoming meetings.
  • We've streamlined event registration by replacing printed brochures, user guides and faxed registration forms with a more efficient, all-electronic format via our new EGSA event registration portal. You're sure to find it informative, easy to use and environmentally friendly!
