About Us
The Delta Institute and its partners formed the Delta P2E2 Center to stimulate widespread adoption of pollution prevention and energy efficiency measures. Our strategy is simple: help facilities cut energy costs and reduce pollution by becoming more efficient. We work with small- and mid-sized manufacturers, local government, school districts, and civic institutions to cut energy costs by 15 percent or more.
What We Do
Our technical assistance identifies efficiency measures that will save money and protect the environment. We provide a range of financing programs to implement the most promising measures. We also buy and sell carbon credits on the Chicago Climate Exchange on behalf of companies, and we pool and trade carbon credits generated from carbon sequestration projects on behalf of farmers and landowners.
How We Work
A facility contracts with the Delta P2E2 Center for an investment grade audit. Specialized contractors conduct the audit to identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce pollution. Technical underwriting determines which recommendations are feasible to implement and promise to provide expected savings. The cost of the audit and underwriting can be rolled into financing for projects the facility eventually undertakes. This limits up-front costs for big long-term savings.
For projects identified as feasible and worthwhile, the Delta P2E2 Center tailors a financing package to the facility’s needs. The Delta P2E2 Center provides direct financing through efficiency contracts or loans, and also arranges loans through our financial partner, LaSalle Bank. Terms and conditions of financing programs are subject to financial underwriting.
