Mixed technologiesGet to know the project

OMV supports various climate projects:

The biogas project (#1125) as well as the gas recovery project (#1299) in Turkey generate electricity and prevent methane from escaping into the atmosphere.

The wind farms in Bulgaria (#1100), in China (#1085), in India (#1403) and in Turkey (#1003 and #1026) contribute to sustainable development in their regions. The solar projects in India (#1232) and in China (#1037) support surrounding villages with sustainable electricity and social engagement.

The forest protection project in Brazil protects Amazon rainforest and thus one of the most important carbon reservoirs (#1280).

The hydropower plant in Turkey offers the emission-free generation of electricity and long-term water supply of the region (#1304).

The climate project in Pakistan generates electricity using the waste heat generated in cement production (#1428).

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.
