Carbon Credit Projects

Support Projects that do more than Offset Emissions

Our Projects Improve Livelihoods and Invest in a Sustainable Future

Our current carbon credit project is a biomass fired renewable energy project based in rural farming areas of Karnataka, in India.  

The project generates renewable energy from the collection and clean burning of waste agricultural products, such as rice husks, purchased from local farmers.  The farmers are paid for their waste, providing a new source of income for the local community.

The Karnataka Project avoids the emission of greenhouse gases via two important processes. Firstly, the collection of waste ensures that the residual agricultural waste does not rot and decay in the fields, causing methane. Secondly, the project digests the purchased waste into methane and uses it to power a generator. The generator feeds electricity into the grid and displaces electricity within the grid that would be provided by fossil fuels.  In total, the Project reduces greenhouse gas emissions by more than 30,000 tonnes of CO2e per year.

The offsets generated by the Project have been third-party audited by DNV and are accredited to the Voluntary Carbon Standard.  The Project has been registered under the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism since 2007.
