Projects in This Portfolio

Nature-based Reductions 3 projects 29%

This category typically consists of nature-based projects that help retain an existing source of natural carbon storage that would otherwise be at risk — for example, rainforests that would be cut down for development or peat bogs that might be drained for agriculture.

Katingan Mentaya Conservation

One of the highest-regarded avoided deforestation projects in the world, this project protects and restores 149,800 hectares of peatland ecosystems in Indonesia that would likely otherwise have been converted to palm and other plantations.

Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Manoa REDD+

One of the highest-regarded avoided deforestation projects in the world, this project protects and restores 18,1500 hectares of the Amazon from illegal deforestation.

Brazil

Bottomland Forests of the Louisiana Plains

This is an improved forest management project that works with local landowners in Louisiana and Mississippi to protect their forests.

Louisiana, United States

Technology-based Removals 3 projects 1%

This is a highly diverse category of projects that includes cutting-edge engineered solutions that hold significant promise but are not yet available at scale. Examples include direct air capture technology and storage of carbon through enhanced rock weathering.

Farm Gai Kaisa

This biochar project converts invasive species into durable carbon removals.

Namibia

Gevo Carbon Capture

This project captures CO2 produced during ethanol production and permanently sequesters it by injecting it underground

United States

Charm Industrial Bio Oil

Charm collects waste from plants that have captured carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, applies a heating process called pyrolysis that converts the plant waste into bio-oil, and injects that bio oil into deep wells…

San Francisco, California, United States

Technology-based Reductions 6 projects 60%

This category covers a wide range of projects that aim to reduce and avoid emissions versus business as usual. Examples include: natural gas leak repairs, destruction of refrigerants that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere, and capture of methane emitted from landfills.

Oeste de Caucaia Landfill

This project collects landfill gas at a municipal landfill near the city of Fortaleza in Brazil. It avoids the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and displaces natural gas in…

Caucaia, Ceará, Brazil

Titas Gas Leak Repair

This project reduces natural gas leaks from a gas distribution network in Bangladesh through the use of an advanced leak detection and repair program that would not be feasible without carbon credit revenue.

Greater Dhaka, Bangladesh

Liling Landfill Gas Project

This project collects landfill gas to generate 3.2MW of electricity at a landfill in Hunan Province, China, avoiding the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and using the methane to…

Liling, Hunan Province, China

Istanbul Landfill Gas to Electricity

This project collects landfill gas to generate more than 42MW of electricity at two landfills near Istanbul, Turkey, avoiding the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and using the methane…

Istanbul, Turkey

Gaziantep Landfill Gas

This project collects landfill gas to generate 5.655MW of electricity at a landfill serving Gaziantep City, Turkey, avoiding the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and using the methane to…

Gaziantep City, Turkey

Fuzhou Hongmiaoling Landfill Gas to Electricity

This project collects landfill gas to generate 2.5MW of electricity at a landfill in southeastern China, avoiding the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and using the methane to generate…

Fujian Province, China

Nature-based Removals 8 projects 10%

This category typically consists of nature-based projects that remove existing carbon and store it in new plants, trees, or soil — for example, planting trees in an area that has previously been clear cut or restoring plant life to tidal wetlands.
