Capital Wind Farm, Australia
The Capital Wind Farm comprises 67 wind turbine generators, each capable of generating 2.1 MW of power, giving the wind farm a total capacity of 140.7 MW. On average the plant produces approx. 450 GWh of electricity per annum, enough to power 60,000 homes.
The wind farm is accredited under the Australian GreenPower Scheme. The electricity generated is fed directly into the TransGrid network via an on-site substation, with the majority of output contracted to supply to the Sydney Desalination Plant.
The Tasmanian Native Forest Protection Project involves the protection of large tracts of privately owned land in the Tasmanian Central Highlands. The land in the project area is degraded native forest which has been logged in the past and - in the absence of carbon revenue - would continue to be either selectively logged or cleared for agriculture in the future.
The carbon project provides an alternative source of income to the landowners, enabling them to set the land aside for conservation purposes only, and manage it in a way that encourages natural regeneration of the forest.
Greenhouse gas emissions are avoided by preventing the release of the carbon stored in the trees that - in the absence of the project - would occur through logging, processing and use of the timber.
In addition to its climate change benefits, the project helps to protect and restore Tasmania's valuable native forests, which provide a habitat for a number of endangered species including the wedge-tailed eagle, spotted quoll and the iconic Tasmanian devil.
These pioneering projects were the first in Australia to be accredited under the Verified Carbon Standard, and among the first accredited VCS projects in the world in the field of improved forest management and avoided deforestation.

Siam Cement Biomass Project, Thailand
The Siam Cement Biomass Project involves the modification of five cement manufacturing plants in Thailand to enable them to use renewable biomass fuel in place of fossil fuels, leading to substantial greenhouse gas emission reductions as well as significant environmental and socio-economic benefits.
The cement plants previously burned a mix of fossil fuels in their kilns, including coal, lignite (brown coal), pet-coke, and heavy fuel oil. With the implementation of the project these have been largely replaced by renewable biomass from a variety of sources - primarily rice husks but also wood-processing residues and other agricultural waste such as palm trunks, palm fibre and palm nut shells.
Supply chains have been established for the sourcing of waste biomass from nearby areas. Prior to the implementation of the project, rice husk was typically burnt in open fields, which is common practice for rice husk waste in developing countries. Other agricultural wastes were left in the fields to decay.
The costs of modifying the existing plant and establishing the new supply chains were substantial, and there were also significant technology risks and technical know-how barriers as the Siam Cement Group was the first company in Thailand to adopt the new technology. The additional revenue from the sale of carbon credits provided the necessary incentive to justify this investment. Without the carbon revenue the project would not have gone ahead.

Borneo Rainforest Rehabilitation Project
The Borneo Rainforest Rehabilitation Project is working to protect and restore a large area of degraded rainforest in the Malaysian state of Sabah, on the island of Borneo. So far the project has protected 25,000 hectares and rehabilitated nearly half of the area, locking in carbon and providing habitat for endangered animals, plants and birds.
The island of Borneo is one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, with an abundance of unique and endangered plants and animals. Yet the rainforests of Borneo are threatened by rapid rates of deforestation due to logging and palm oil plantations. This project has been working for the past 20 years to restore the degraded rainforest and allow wildlife to return to the area.
The project area had been logged since 1981 and this would have continued in the absence of intervention. By preventing further logging and degradation, and helping native trees and vegetation to regenerate, this project avoids approximately 140,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year. In addition to its climate change benefits, the project protects and enhances the habitat for a host of Borneo's rare and unique species, including primates, carnivores, birds, reptiles and plants.

Tamil Nadu 45 Turbine Wind Project, India
This project involved the construction of a 45-turbine wind farm in Erode and Dindigull districts, in Tamil Nadu state, India. The wind farm is connected to India's largely fossil-fuel powered southern electricity grid and replaces non-renewable energy sources such as coal with clean, wind-generated energy. The project assists with the commercialisation of wind power in Tamil Nadu and greater India, and also contributes to the sustainable development of the region - socially, environmentally and economically.

Antai Waste Gas Recovery Project, China
The Antai Waste Gas Recovery Project is located in a region dominated by coal and steel production. The project reduces greenhouse gas emissions and local air pollution by capturing waste gas and using it to generate electricity and heat.
The project is based at the Antai steel mill. Waste gas from the mill's blast furnaces and coke ovens is captured and used to generate electricity, which is then consumed in the plant. Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced because the electricity generated would have otherwise come from the grid, which is dominated by coal-fired power stations. Prior to the implementation of the project the waste gas was either flared or released directly into the atmosphere.
The Antai Waste Gas Recovery Project has benefits beyond the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The project has improved local air quality by avoiding uncontrolled gas emissions. The plant has also reduced water consumption by 70% by updating the water cooling with modern air cooling generator units. Air quality has also been improved in the wider region by reducing the emissions of sulphur dioxide and particulates from coal fired power plants.

Armenis Farm Biogas Project, Cyprus
The Armenis Farm Biogas Project is located on a pig farm in Limassol Province on the island of Cyprus. Biogas from livestock manure is captured and burned to produce electricity and heat.
Armenis Farm is located in a rural area near Monagroulli village in the south of Cyprus. It is surrounded by several other pig farms. In the past the manure from these farms has been left to decay in open lagoons. As you may imagine, this creates an unpleasant environment for neighbouring communities, as well as polluting the air and water. The practice also produces large amounts of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. This new project is taking this harmful waste and using it to produce clean energy for the farm and beyond.
At Armenis Farm the animal waste is now fed into a digester tank rather than open lagoons, where the methane is captured and concentrated. The methane is then burned to produce electricity and heat. This energy is used on the farm, including to power the digester itself, and surplus electricity is fed into the national grid.
The project generates approximately 11,000 carbon credits each year for the avoided methane emissions. The Armenis Farm Biogas Project not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions, but also creates a healthier and safer local environment.
