Green Initiative

Gunder Hydro Power Project, Turkey

Tons to Offset: 4,935

Günder Hydro Power Plant uses the water from Günder River, which is located close to the village of Günder, Karaman Province in Turkey. The purpose of the project activity is to generate renewable electricity to be delivered to the national grid. The electricity produced by project activity will result in emission reduction.

Krissana Wind Power, Thailand

Tons to Offset: 4,700

The project generates clean electricity with utilization of wind energy. The project consists of 30 Wind Turbine Generators of 3.0 MW capacities each. The electricity generated by the project is exported to the Thailand National grid. The project activity displaces an equivalent amount of electricity which would have otherwise been generated by the fossil fuel dominant electricity grid.

Cerro Patacón Landfill Gas Usage, Panama

Tons to Offset: 4,900

The purpose of Cerro Patacón Landfill Gas Utilization Project is to capture and use the landfill gas (LFG) generated by the decomposition of the organic waste disposed at Cerro Patacón landfill site located in the municipality of Panama. The proposed project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the decomposition of municipal solid waste that would have been otherwise released to the atmosphere.

Cordillera Azul National Park Redd Project, Peru

Tons to Offset: 2,800

The Cordillera Azul National Park REDD+ Project avoids deforestation by strengthening park protection, engaging local communities and other stakeholders in land-use management compatible with conservation, and improving the quality of life of the park’s neighbors. 

Kenya Multi-Layer Household Water Filtration System

Tons to Offset: 2,000

The water purifiers of the project will not only dramatically increase access to safe drinking water but also reduce consumption for woody fuels previously required to treat drinking water, which will decrease environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions.

Big Coast Forest Conservation, British Columbia, Canada

Tons to Offset: 1,250

The BigCoast Forest Climate Initiative converts working forests into project lands and will increase carbon storage which avoids future GHG emissions. The forest contains and protects important ecosystems, drinking watersheds, and lands culturally significant to coastal First Nations. 

Orange Suvaan Solar Power Project In Maharashtra, India

Tons to Offset: 3,200

Orange Suvaan Energy Private Limited (OSEPL) is setting up solar power project at Mhasale village in the district of Dhule, Maharasthra. The purpose of the project activity is to generate electrical power using solar energy through operation of photovoltaic solar panels.

Buenos Aires Renewable Energy Project, Brazil

Tons to Offset: 2,200

Buenos Aires Ceramic Fuel Switching Project was validated on April 2010 under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Social Carbon Methodology. The voluntary project activity avoids GHG emissions by the substitution of non-renewable biomass with renewable biomass to generate thermal energy in the process of burning ceramic devices.

Renewable Solar Energy, India

Tons to Offset: 3,250

The main purpose of this project activity is to generate clean form of electricity through renewable solar energy sources. Over the 10 years of first crediting period, the project will replace anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases

Sichuan Furong Coal Mine Methane Utilization Project, China

Tons to Offset: 3,250

The project is located in Yibin city in Sichuan Province, China. The primary objective of the project is to capture and use coal mine methane for power generation. This will displace electricity used from the on-site captive power plant and the Central China Power Grid for on-site use.

Buenos Aires Renewable Energy Project, Brazil

Tons to Offset: 205

This project works to tackle deforestation due to illegal logging by switching fuel use in region from illegal firewood to agricultural and industrial residues. This also serves to reduce indoor air pollution, avoids greenhouse gas emissions and promotes a sustainable supply chain.

Terra Clean Water Access for Laos

Tons to Offset: 136

TerraClear is breaking down the barriers that make clean water access a challenge for rural communities. Creative strategies and community focused education and promotion are allowing TerraClear to provide access to safe drinking water through the manufacture and distribution of more than 70,000 ceramic filters in over 1000 villages in Laos.

Wind Power Project in Madhya Pradesh, India

Tons to Offset: 272

This project has played an important role in reducing CO2 emissions and will continue to contribute towards the economic growth of the area by generating 180 GWh of clean electricity annually, which is equivalent to powering 42,000 households every year.

Safe Water Access in Rwanda

This project works with local NGOs in Rwanda to deliver clean, safe water to people. This project also provides water sanitation and hygiene training to ensure that the community water supply is maintained.

100MW Wind Power Project in Andhra Pradesh, India

This project consists of 50 wind turbines that generate clean energy for the local community in the district of Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh, India.

Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Project

This project aims to recreate a healthy, functioning landscape, restored after decades of habitat loss and degradation. This will become the new bush that helps connect to the Australian Outback.
