There is more to offsets than just carbon
Each VCS carbon credit is a tonne of verified climate benefit, no matter the type of project.
This carbon offset project provides multiple sustainability co-benefits beyond just carbon and helps link your climate response to improved sustainability.
The project reduces GHG emissions and local air pollution (SO2, NOx and particulates) and helps reduce fossil fuel consumption.
It has provided local people employment opportunities, helping improve their living conditions.
The project has helped improve the local power system’s infrastructure and promotes increased utilisation of renewable energy.
Sparse vegetation and no rare or endangered species means construction had little impact on the area’s biodiversity.
The project has undertaken measures to recover the vegetation with the aim of minimising any negative impacts created by construction.
Positive comments from stakeholders and the local community were provided during consultation.
They believed the project would contribute greatly to local economic and sustainable development.
