Ruby Canyon Engineering Meets Additional ANSI Accreditation Requirements under ISO 14065

Grand Junction, Colo. (Jan. 12, 2012) – Ruby Canyon Engineering, Inc. (RCE), an engineering consulting company whose main focus is greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, received scope extensions to its American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accreditation in ISO 14065: 2007 Greenhouse Gases. Recently, RCE has met the requirements to conduct GHG validations for project level scope extensions for Group 1 (fuel combustion), Group 2 (industrial processes), Group 5 (livestock) and Group 6 (waste). RCE received the Group 1 & 2 accreditation extensions on October 6, 2011 and the Group 5 & 6 accreditation extensions on January 6, 2012.

As an ANSI-accredited, third-party GHG validating/verifying body – the first in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Region – the company, is accredited under ISO 14065 to perform verifications of assertions related to GHG emissions and removals at the "organizational level", including the following groups:

• 1. General
• 2. Manufacturing
• 3. Power Generation
• 5. Mining and Mineral Production
• 6. Metals Production
• 7. Chemical Production
• 9. Waste

RCE may also conduct validations and/or verifications of assertions related to GHG emission reductions and removals at the "project level" including the following groups:

• 1. GHG emission reductions from fuel combustion
• 2. GHG emission reductions from industrial processes (non-combustion, chemical reaction, fugitive and other)
• 5. Livestock
• 6. Waste Handling and Disposal

Ruby Canyon Engineering President Michael Coté said, "At the beginning of 2011, we already had most of the ANSI Groups approved for project verifications, so we focused the scope extensions for project validations last year. We hope to be able to serve a wider range of clients in the carbon offset world."
