Description
Verra VCS Wind Power Project
This is project generates verified carbon offset certificates, each has a unique serial number and is equivalent to one tonne of CO2e removed from the atmosphere.
SITUATION
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.
