Project details

Mixed technologiesGet to know the project

Esso Deutschland unterstützt vier Klimaschutzprojekte in Asien und Lateinamerika.

Das Projekt von Portel im brasilianischen Bundesstaat Pará schützt knapp 178.000 Hektar Amazonas-Regenwald vor der Abholzung. Es trägt zum Erhalt der Artenvielfalt bei und sichert Landrechte für in Armut lebende Familien: https://climatepartner.com/1086. Im Bundesstaat Santa Catarina spart ein Laufwasserkraftwerk Treibhausgasemissionen ein, indem es den Anteil erneuerbarer Energien im brasilianischen Strommix erhöht: https://climatepartner.com/1014

In der chinesischen Provinz Hebei erzeugt der Windpark von Guyuan seit 2010 mit 133 Turbinen sauberen Strom für die regionale Bevölkerung. So entsteht weniger CO₂ aus der Stromerzeugung mit Kohle, Gas und Öl: https://climatepartner.com/1085. Zwei Windparks im indischen Staat Rajasthan versorgen etwa 100.000 Menschen mit Elektrizität. Zudem setzt sich der Projektbetreiber für eine bessere Wasserversorgung, für Frauenrechte und gegen Kinderarbeit ein: https://climatepartner.com/1077

Project Standard

The project contributes to the the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals

Portfolio mix of various technologies

The portfolio includes projects that evidently reduce CO₂ emissions using various technologies. These include, for example, the protection of rainforests, energy efficiency measures or the expansion of renewable energies. The income from the sale of proven CO₂ savings is necessary to be able to implement climate projects in economically weak regions.

Besides reducing greenhouse gases, the project activities create additional benefits for the environment and local people. Detailed descriptions of the projects and methods for reducing emissions can be found via the respective project links. The portfolio projects are registered with international standards.

The project aims to contribute to these United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Project facts

Climate projects generally fall into one of three groups: carbon reduction, carbon removal, or carbon avoidance. Carbon reduction projects reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by a specific activity (e.g., improved cookstoves). Carbon removal projects remove carbon from the atmosphere by sequestering it in carbon sinks (e.g., reforestation). Carbon avoidance projects avoid greenhouse gas emissions entering the atmosphere (e.g., protecting forests from deforestation with REDD+ projects).

All climate projects are based on international standards. They set processes and requirements which carbon projects must fulfill to be recognised as a proven method of reducing carbon emissions.

Climate projects demonstrably reduce, remove, or avoid greenhouse gas emissions. This is achieved with various technologies, ranging from nature-based solutions to social impact projects and renewable energies.
