Renewable Energy Generation

Renewable energy projects replace fossil fuel-based electricity, heat, and fuel with clean alternatives such as solar, wind, biogas, and biomass energy. By harnessing energy from natural resources, these projects help reduce reliance on coal, oil, and gas, which are major contributors to global emissions. Carbon credits are issued based on the amount of fossil fuel emissions avoided. 

Biogas from POME, Landfill, and Other Wastes

Organic waste, including Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), food waste, and landfill waste, naturally decomposes and releases methane—a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than CO₂. Biogas projects capture methane emissions and convert them into renewable energy for electricity, heating, or biofuel production. This process prevents harmful methane from escaping into the atmosphere while generating clean energy. These projects also support waste management and circular economy practices by repurposing organic waste into valuable resources. Carbon credits are issued based on the volume of methane captured and utilized.

EV Charging Infrastructure

The transportation sector is a major source of carbon emissions, primarily from gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles. EV charging infrastructure supports the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) by providing necessary charging stations, reducing the demand for fossil fuels. As more EVs replace internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, overall transportation emissions decline. This shift not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also improves urban air quality and energy efficiency. Carbon credits can be generated based on the reduction of CO₂ emissions compared to traditional vehicle use.

Composting and Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Waste Treatment

Organic waste, such as food scraps and agricultural residues, emits methane when sent to landfills. Composting and BSF treatment prevent these emissions by diverting organic waste for decomposition in controlled environments. Composting turns organic matter into nutrient-rich soil amendments, while BSF larvae consume food waste, producing protein-rich feedstock and organic fertilizer. These processes significantly reduce landfill methane emissions and improve soil health. Carbon credits are issued based on the amount of waste diverted from landfills and the methane emissions prevented.

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS)

CCUS involves capturing CO₂ emissions from industrial processes such as cement production, steel manufacturing, and power generation before they reach the atmosphere. Once captured, the CO₂ can be stored underground in geological formations (carbon sequestration) or repurposed for industrial applications like enhanced oil recovery, synthetic fuels, or concrete production. This technology helps industries lower their carbon footprint and transition towards net-zero operations. Carbon credits are issued based on the volume of CO₂ permanently stored or utilized in long-term applications.

Green Hydrogen Production

Green hydrogen is produced through electrolysis, a process that splits water (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) using electricity from renewable sources like solar and wind. Unlike conventional hydrogen production, which relies on fossil fuels, green hydrogen emits no carbon emissions. It can be used as a clean energy carrier for industrial processes, transportation, and power generation. This technology is essential for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, chemicals, and heavy transport. Carbon credits are granted based on emissions avoided by replacing fossil-fuel-based hydrogen or other carbon-intensive energy sources with green hydrogen.

Biochar and Activated Carbon

Biochar is a stable form of carbon created by heating organic biomass (e.g., agricultural waste, wood chips) in a low-oxygen environment through pyrolysis. When applied to soil, biochar enhances soil fertility while locking carbon away for hundreds to thousands of years. Similarly, activated carbon is used in industrial applications, water filtration, and soil improvement, providing long-term carbon storage. This technology supports both climate mitigation and sustainable agriculture. Carbon credits are issued based on the amount of CO₂ permanently sequestered in biochar or activated carbon applications.

Clean Cookstoves

Traditional cook methods that burn wood, charcoal, or other biomass release significant amounts of carbon dioxide, methane, and black carbon, contributing to both climate change and indoor air pollution. Clean cookstove projects distribute improved, fuel-efficient stoves that burn cleaner, reducing the amount of fuel needed and cutting harmful emissions. These stoves not only decrease deforestation by reducing the demand for firewood but also improve public health by lowering exposure to toxic smoke. By preventing emissions and promoting sustainable fuel use, clean cookstove initiatives qualify for carbon credits while also enhancing livelihoods in communities that rely on biomass for cooking.

Energy Efficiency Improvements

Energy efficiency projects focus on reducing energy consumption and optimizing performance in industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. This can include upgrading machinery, improving insulation, optimizing heating and cooling systems, or implementing smart energy management solutions. By using less energy to achieve the same output, these projects significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower operating costs. Energy efficiency initiatives can also qualify for carbon credits by demonstrating measurable reductions in energy use and emissions compared to a baseline scenario.

Reforestation & Afforestation

Planting trees is one of the most effective ways to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. Reforestation restores deforested lands, while afforestation involves planting trees in areas where there were none before. Trees absorb CO₂ through photosynthesis, storing carbon in their biomass for decades. Carbon credits are granted based on the amount of CO₂ sequestered by newly planted forests. These projects also restore ecosystems, enhance biodiversity, and support local communities through sustainable forestry initiatives.
