The AES Corporation (A)

This case study abstract describes a proposal by Sheryl Sturges to The AES Corporation to fund a reforestation project in a tropical developing country to offset carbon dioxide emissions from the Thames power plant.

• Sheryl Sturges proposed that The AES Corporation fund a reforestation project in a tropical developing country to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions contributing to greenhouse gas buildup and global climate change. She argued the project was technically feasible, would cost less than 1% of the capital costs of Thames, provide positive social implications, and help AES maintain its status as the least cost supplier of clean coal-fired power plant energy.
• The AES Corporation engaged the World Resources Institute (WRI) for guidance on implementing a tree-planting or reforestation program in a developing country, leading WRI to assemble a panel of development experts and foresters over a six-month period to evaluate proposals.
