You're correct about conversion to kBTU - all energy consumed by the building is converted to kBTU and considered holistically in terms of off-site renewable purchases. In terms of the process for accounting for natural gas, I would suggest contacting Green-e for a list of certified providers of carbon offsets. In my experience, that is the most likely path to accounting for gas use.

Hi Reynaldo- In terms of dealing with offsetting your natural gas usage, you would need to purchase carbon offsets, or Verified Emissions Reductions (VERs). We would be glad to help you out! http://www.renewablechoice.com lmalone@renewablechoice.com
