Reforestation, Madagascar
More than 90% of Madagascar's primary forests are destroyed, impacting people living in extreme poverty the most.
Madagascar is one of the world’s top biodiversity conservation priorities because of its endemic species and severe habitat loss rates. Reforestation in Madagascar is important because the destruction of the mangrove estuaries along the coastline has caused mudflats to wash into the ocean, destroying once-productive fisheries and increasing the vulnerability of coastal communities to hurricanes, tsunamis, and floods. In the dry deciduous forests, deforestation threatens one of the world’s rarest and most diverse forest systems.
Wind power in Rajasthan, India
A wind farm that generates clean energy for local people, whilst also contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.
Centaur Mercantile Private Limited (CMPL), have installed 8.4 MW (4 units of 2.1 MW Wind Turbine Generators)
wind power project in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan. The project generates electricity
from wind turbines, replacing energy generated through fossil fuels, contributing to a reduction
in climate change emissions.
Fundão-Santa Clara Energetic Complex Project (FSCECP), Brazil
The project generates zero carbon emission electricity from a renewable hydropower.
The FSCECP – Fundão-Santa Clara Energetic Complex Project consists of a hydroelectric complex, located in Jordão River, Paraná, Brazil. The Fundão Hydroelectric complex is composed of one Small Hydropower Plant (SHP – capacity of 2,40 MW) and other Hydropower Plant (HPP – capacity of 120 MW). The Santa Clara Hydroelectric complex is composed one Small Hydropower Plant (SHP – capacity of 3,60 MW) and other Hydropower Plant (HPP – capacity of 120 MW). The FSCECP is connected to the SIN (National Interconnected System).
Project for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of Hidroelectrica La Confluencia S.A., Chile
Hydro projects generate electricity from flowing water. They reduce the need to burn fossil fuels to generate our power. Project benefits: preserving natural resources; promoting renewable energy generation; reducing dependency on non-renewable resources; helping spread green technology worldwide; and improving health.
The project is located in the Tinguiririca River upper valley, in the Andes Mountains about 120km south of Santiago, Chile.
