Wind Projects produce renewable energy to power homes and industry, keeping hundreds of thousands of tonnes of CO2 out of the atmosphere each year.
Developing countries have experienced a rapid increase in the demand for electricity fuelled by economic growth over the past two decades.
However, with demand outpacing the current supply, electricity shortages and increasingly regular power cuts are negatively affecting the economy and local livelihoods.
SOLUTION
Wind turbines generate clean electricity, displacing energy generated from fossil fuels and reducing global emissions.
They contribute to bridging the supply-demand electricity gap in developing countries and are an important investment in renewable energy.
In addition to replacing electricity generated by fossil fuels, these projects provide opportunities for the next generation of renewable energy technicians by providing work and critical experience.
IMPACT
These projects meet growing demands with clean energy and helping drive a low carbon future and boost local economic development.
The projects create steady jobs for the operation of the wind farm and pave the way for similar wind power projects in the region.
This can include the construction of upgraded power transmission lines which reduces electricity losses and improves supply.
OUTCOME
By reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in electricity generation, wind projects make a significant contribution to climate action globally.
Air pollutants such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particles resulting from the electricity generation from fossil fuels are reduced.
The projects can boost local small economies by creating local employment during both the construction and operational phases, stimulating climate skills technology in developing countries.
This is a Verified Project that generates verified carbon offset certificates, each has a unique serial number and is equivalent to one tonne of CO2e removed from the atmosphere.
– Certificates can be verified on the Verra or Gold Standard registry, where the full project specifications are also recorded.
– Carbon offsets are measurable, verifiable emission reductions from projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere and can take place anywhere in the world.
– Offset certificates finance verified projects that reduce and eliminate carbon which are subject to a rigorous registration and verification process.
– Projects can include wind, solar, hydro, biomass energy recovery, geothermal and GHG abatement. They aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions whilst supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
– We supply offsets through The Carbon Trade Exchange which guarantees transactions and provides rigorous measures to protect our customers.
– After purchase, you will receive a certificate showing the amount of tonnes you have bought, along with their serial numbers.
Offsets are supplied through our partners at the Climate Change Institute where they are subjected to a rigorous verification process. Purchases subject to our Terms & Conditions
The Gold Standard Registry issues carbon offsets and is the central repository for all information and documentation relating to Gold Standard projects and units.
The Registry also ensures the uniqueness of projects and credits in the system. Projects are subject to a rigorous verification process where transparency underpins the positive outcomes of the carbon projects.
Verra carbon offsets are issued under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program, a leading greenhouse gas (GHG) crediting program. Verra sets the world’s leading standards for climate action and sustainable development. VCS projects have reduced or removed nearly one billion tons of carbon from the atmosphere with activities that reduce and remove emissions, improve livelihoods, and protect nature.
