EP EL Paso Corp. (Holding Co.)

El Paso Corporation (NYSE: EP) today issued a correction regarding information included in the Carbon Disclosure Project's 2008 Report on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change-related strategies. In Section 9, Appendix I, page 100 of the printed report, El Paso's total emissions were incorrectly printed as 149.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e). El Paso's 2006 emissions from its current assets were 15.6 million tonnes of CO2e.

The online version of the Carbon Disclosure Project's 2008 Report has been updated to reflect the correct emissions. El Paso's responses to the Carbon Disclosure Project's Annual Information Request, sent on behalf of institutional investors and purchasing organizations, and its corrected emissions figures can be found at www.cdproject.net.

El Paso's participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project's report builds on the company's continuing commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. In the last two years alone, El Paso:

--  Committed to developing the $3 billion proposed Ruby Pipeline as a
    carbon-neutral project by mitigating the future emissions through a
    portfolio of technologies and market-based options;
--  Achieved the distinction in 2007 of being the first company to earn
    Climate Action Leader status by the California Climate Action Registry;
--  Issued its first corporate sustainability report, "Building a Legacy,"
    which details the company's economic, social, and environmental impact
    using the most current information available for calendar year 2007. The
    report was prepared with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative's G3
    Guidelines and can be accessed under the Sustainability tab on El Paso's
    website;
--  Was named one of America's Most Admired Companies by FORTUNE Magazine,
    ranking first among its peers in the category of social responsibility; and
--  Ranked among the top 20 of the EPA's list of Best Workplaces for
    Commuters (the third consecutive year).
