Project details

Mixed technologiesGet to know the project

Die Molkerei Gropper GmbH unterstützt die folgenden Klimaschutzprojekte.

Das Solarenergieprojekt in der Region Rajasthan in Indien nutzt eine Photovoltaik Anlage, um die Sonneneinstrahlung in saubere Energie umzuwandeln und diese in das Stromnetz einzuspeisen, welches Nord-, Ost-, West- und Nord-Ost Indien versorgt (climatepartner.com/1447).

Der in der Wüste Indiens herrschende Wind wird ebenfalls für Energie aus erneuerbaren Energien genutzt. Das Salodi Windkraftprojekt versorgt hier mit 37 Windturbinen und einer Gesamtleistung von 29,6 MW seit 2012 das regionale Stromnetz (climatepartner.com/1302).

Das Projekt in Malawi unterstützt durch saubere Kochöfen Menschen und Klima. Diese bieten eine bessere Energieeffizienz und verbrauchen weniger Holz. Dadurch wird Rauch beim Kochen verringert und CO₂-Emissionen eingespart (climatepartner.com/1115).

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.

Climate projects go through third-party validation and verification. Verification happens regularly after each monitoring period. A validation and verification body checks and assesses whether the values and project activities stated in the monitoring report are correct and verifies them. As with validation, visits to the project site are often part of the process.

Climate projects go through third-party validation and verification. Validation happens early in the project life cycle and ensures that the project design is in line with current processes and requirements. This phase often also involves field visits with on-site interviews and analyses. Auditors are accredited, impartial assessors who have to be approved as a validation and verification body (VVB) by the standards body.
