Carbon Offset Projects - Verified Carbon Standard (VCS)

Your carbon offsetting supports a variety of clean / renewable energy offset projects around the world

All offset projects in the Clean Energy Portfolio are verified to the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). They also meet the offset project requirements of BSI's PAS 2060 guidance on carbon neutrality, therefore assuring your carbon neutral claims.

How much do you want to offset?

Below is a selection of carbon offset projects from our extensive portfolio:

Small Hydro Power Project, Turkey

The Erkenek 12 MW Hydro Power Plant in Turkey is a small scale hydropower project located in Adiyaman Province. The total installed capacity of this project which consists of two turbines with an estimated net power supply to the grid of 52,288 MWh per annum. The project has been in implementation since February 26th, 2009.

Small Hydro Power Project, Pubu, China

Small Hydro Power Project, Uttarakhand, India

This small 4.95 MW Hydro Power Plant converts the potential energy available in the stream flowing from higher altitudes into mechanical energy using hydro turbines and then to electrical energy using alternators. The project provides and sells electricity to the state electricity utility UPCL (Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited) through the grid, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and thereby reducing CO₂ emissions.

Wind Power,Tamil Nadu, India

This wind power project in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu provides reliable, renewable power, using the Tamil Nadu’s state transmissions system for captive consumption. Based on the barren land at Nettur site, Tirunelveli in the state of Tamil Nadu, the project is helping to bridge the demand supply gap by using wind as a source of generating electrical energy, replacing non-renewable resources and leading to sustainable economic and environmental development.

BioMass Power Project, Sri Lanka

This 10MW Biomass Power Generation Project aims to provide a solution for the severe power shortage in Sri Lanka through generating power using sustainable biomass energy by using agricultural waste material such as rice husk, sawdust and sustainable energy crops. This environmental friendly energy (electricity) will be used as a stable power supplying the production of cement to displace fossil fuel based electricity from the electricity distribution system (national grid) and at the same time to supplythe balance to the national grid

Small Hydro Power Project, Brazil

Wind Power, Karnataka,India

The wind power project of 20 MW in the Indian state of Karnataka provides reliable, renewable power to the Karnataka state electricity grid which is part of the Southern regional grid. The project is helping bridge the gap between demandand supply of electricity by using wind as a source of generating electrical energy. The project activity consists of 25 800kW wind turbines. The project harnesses renewable resources in the region, thereby displacing non-renewable natural resources and ultimately leading to sustainable, economic &environmental development.

Wind Power, Zhangbei Lvnaobao, China

CECIC HKE Zhangbei Lvnaobao Wind Power Project is located at Zhangbei County, north west region of HebeiProvince, China. The total installed capacity of the Project is 100.5MW from 67 sets of wind turbine generators . The estimated electricity delivered to the North China Power Grid by the project is 241.70GWh annually.The project reduces GHG emission by replacing an equal amount of electricity which would originally have been generated from fossil fuels. It is estimated that the resulting CO₂ emission reductions will be about 254,960 tCO₂ annually.

Thermal Energy Generation Project, Can Tho province, Vietnam

Wilmar Agro Vietnam Company Limited produces rice bran oil. The rice bran is procured from rice mills locally available and stabilized at a pelletization plant closer to the sources of rice bran (within 60 km) in Cai Be District. The steam required for the rice bran pelletization facility, was generated in a coal-fired captive boiler. Due to increase in the facility capacity, additional steam is required. The facility is replacing the coal-fired boiler, with a renewable energy biomass system, using rice husks purchased from rice mills operating locally around the region.

Small Hydro Power Project, Guizhou Province, China

Wutuhe Erji hydro power project is located in the town of Huaga, Shuicheng County, Liupanshui City in Guizhou Province, China. The electricity generated by the proposed project is supplied to the China Southern Power Grid (CSPG). The total installed capacity of the proposed project is 7.5MW. The Project is expected to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions by around 24,455 tCO2e per year.

Small Hydro Power Project, Elazig Province, Turkey

The Keban 5 MW Hydro Power Plant in Turkey is a small scale hydropower project located in Elazig Province, Eastern Anatolia. The total installed capacity of this project is 5 MW consisting of one turbine with an estimated net power supply to the grid of 31,686 MWh per annum. This corresponds to an annual emission reduction of 19,510 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. The project is in implementation since May 2007.

Small Hydro Power Project, Guizhou Province, China

The Changtan Hydro Power Project in Guizhou Province is a small-scale reservoir-based hydropower project in China. The total installed capacity of the Project will be 5MW, consisting of two 2.5MW turbines, with a predicted power supply of 19,501MWh per annum. The Project will utilise the hydrological resources of the Shiqian River in a small scale hydropower facility that will generate low emissions electricity for the South China Power Grid.

Wind Farm, Rajasthan, India

60 MW wind power project in the Indian state of Rajasthan to provide reliable, renewable po  wer to the Rajasthan state electricity grid which is part of the Northern regional electricity grid. The project will lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions because it displaces electricity from fossil fuel based electricity generation plants.

Following a carbon footprint calculation, these Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) registered projects meet the requirements under the Quality Assurance Scheme (QAS) for Carbon Offsetting.  More information on the QAS

Offset credits from these projects also meet BSI's PAS 2060 guidance on carbon neutrality, therefore assuring your carbon neutral claims.
