The objective of this project is to reduce the emissions through the displacement of fossil fuels through clean renewable power generation. The project generates clean energy from a run-of-the-river small-scale hydroelectric power plant. Brazil’s electricity matrix expansion is moving towards a larger participation of thermal power generation and therefore an increased importance of renewable sources like this project.
The project activity displaces the electricity that would have been generated from burning fossil fuels through the installation of a series of wind farms, which produce 100% clean power from a renewable source. The project is in an area where the power sector is dominated by coal, which poses threats to energy security as well as the environment. The project assists in the sustainable development of India and the local State in large by reducing the dependency on fossil fuels, reducing local air pollution, providing emission free clean electricity and providing employment to rural people both during the construction phase and the entire lifetime of the project.
In all, they will be an assets for many years to come, they will of course help the local community and more importantly 'THE WORLD'

Our time in recycling has led us naturally into the need to save energy, reduce carbon emissions and look for renewable energy. Carbon Earth™ and our other sites

Some of the main sources of greenhouse gases due to human activity include: burning of fossil fuels and deforestation leading to higher carbon dioxide concentrations; livestock and paddy rice farming, land use and wetland changes, pipeline losses, and covered vented landfill emissions leading to higher methane atmospheric concentrations. Many of the newer style fully vented septic systems that enhance and target the fermentation process also are major sources of atmospheric methane; use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in refrigeration systems, and use of CFCs and halons in fire suppression systems and manufacturing processes. agricultural activities, including the use of fertilizers, that lead to higher nitrous oxide concentrations.

Our climate systems vary through natural, internal processes and in response to variations in external forcing factors including solar activity, volcanic emissions, variations in the earth's orbit and greenhouse gases. An active field of research on the detailed causes of the recent warming remain ongoing, but a scientific consensus agrees that the increased levels of greenhouse gases are due to human activity. This has become more clear over the last fifty years, for which the most detailed data is available. Contrasting with this consensus, other hypotheses have been put forward to explain most of the observed increase in global temperatures. One such hypothesis is that the warming is caused by natural fluctuations in the climate or that warming is mainly a result of variations in solar radiation.

Once you have established your Carbon Footprint you should have some idea of the impact that you, your family or your company are having on the environment in units of tonnes of Carbon Dioxide emitted. You can offset some or all of those excesses through our Carbon Offsetting Scheme.
Carbon Earth™ are able to provide you with verified Carbon Credits via our projects. We operate mainly in the UK and are planting large numbers of traditional protected broadleaf trees in order absorb Carbon Dioxide through sequestration throughout their lives.
Renewable Energy is energy derived from resources that are regenerative or for all practical purposes cannot be depleted. For this reason, renewable energy sources are fundamentally different from fossil fuels, and do not produce as many greenhouse gases and other pollutants as fossil fuel combustion. Mankind's traditional uses of wind, water, and solar energy are widespread in developed and developing countries; but the mass production of electricity using renewable energy sources has become more commonplace recently, reflecting the major threats of climate change, exhaustion of fossil fuels, and the environmental, social and political risks of fossil fuels and nuclear power. Consequently, many countries promote renewable energies through tax incentives and subsidies.
Emissions trading (or cap and trade) is an administrative approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants. The development of a carbon project that provides a reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions is a way by which participating entities may generate tradeable carbon credits. Kyoto Protocol provides for this facet of its cap and trade program with the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of verification. To trade in CERs (Certified Emission Reductions) or VERs (Verified and maybe Voluntary Emission Reductions go to
