Carbon Offset Projects

You can choose from a wide range of projects. Supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation. Many of these projects also provide additional social and humanitarian advantages - providing your business with additional marketing benefits.

Does your business have a specific requirement? We source projects to meet our clients individual wishes. Please call us to discuss your carbon offsetting needs with one of our specialist consultants.

How much do you want to offset?

Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) Projects

CDM projects are fully verified to Kyoto / United Nations (UN) standards via an independent Designated Operating Entity. Our portfolio of CER offsets support clean energy projects in developing countries.

CER offsets purchase through us are retired / cancelled through the UK Environmental Agency's carbon registry.

Gold Standard CDM Biomass Project, Sabah, East Malaysia
CDM registration reference number: 0288

This project involves using waste Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) for electricity and steam generation. The project involves the construction of a 7.5 MW turbine generator equipped with auxiliary facilities. The development of this biomass plant will have a positive effect on the waste disposal problems facing mills at the Sahabat Complex, diverting waste away from incineration, reducing the stress on composting capacity, and significantly reducing the amount of EFB currently landfilled.

Wind Power Project, Kanyakumari districts of Tamilnad, India
CDM registration reference number: 991

This project involves grouping of 704 wind turbines. The project activity generates 860 GWh of power using wind energy through wind turbine technology, enabling displacement of thermal energy.
The novel feature of this project activity is that it brings together, a number of investors with small power requirements (who otherwise would have chosen to draw power from the grid) to invest
into wind turbines. (SOLD OUT)

Small Hydropower Project, Fugong County of Yunnan Province, China
CDM registration reference number: 1511

Yunnan Zemahe 15MW Small Hydropower Project, a run-of-river small hydropower project, is located in Fugong County of Yunnan Province, People's Republic of China. The project uses available water potential in Zemahe River which is a branch of Nujiang River to generate
electricity and exports to the regional power grid. (SOLD OUT)

Wind Power Project, Inner Mongolia Chifeng Dongshan Phase II 50MW
CDM registration reference number: 1869

The Inner Mongolia Chifeng Dongshan Phase II 50MW Wind Power Project is located in Danianzi town, Songshan District, Chifeng City in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It involves the installation of 25 turbines, each of which has a rated output of 2000kW, providing a total capacity of 50 MW.

The project helps reduce GHG emissions generated from the high-growth, coal-dominated power generation. It also contributes to sustainability in the region by reducing pollution, creating employment opportunities, promoting the local tourism industry and improving the livelihoods of local people.

Gold Standard Verified Emission Reductions (VERs)

The Gold Standard Foundation is a non-profit organization under Swiss law that operates a certification scheme for premium quality carbon credits. Supporters of the Gold Standard are committed to promoting sustainable development through carbon offset markets that are characterized by transparency and equality of access for all market participants.

Cooking Stoves, Ghana, Africa

The project reduces greenhouse emissions by distributing fuel-efficient charcoal stoves to households. The improved charcoal stoves reduce fuel consumption by using a ceramic liner that increases combustion efficiency and retains heat. The stove consists of hourglass shaped metal cladding with perforated interior ceramic liner that allows ash to fall to the collection chamber at the base. A thin layer of cement is placed between the cladding and the liner to bind the two. During use, a single pot rests at the top the stove.

Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Projects

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.

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, 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 power 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. More information...

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. (SOLD OUT)

Reforestation & Tree Planting

Trees and plants sequester (i.e. absorb) the atmospheric carbon as part of the process of photosynthesis, which enables them to grow. Through this process, carbon dioxide is converted into stored carbon.

Our tree programmes incorporates "Tree Buddying". This means for each tree you pledge we also offset one tCO2 through a Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) project. Ensuring your carbon offsetting is fully verified.

UK Tree Planting

We are working with tree planting partners to be able to provide an opportunity to individuals and organisations to plant native British broad-leaved trees in your region of the UK. By planting trees you will not only be offsetting carbon emissions, but also helping provide wildlife habitat for many hundreds of years, and passing on to future generations a fascinating and highly valuable ecological heritage.
