Verified carbon projects sit alongside reduction. They do not make a venue or event carbon neutral or net zero.

What the project does.

Located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, the Longyuan Mulilo De Aar 2 North Wind Energy Facility,supplies wind-generated electricity to the grid of South Africa. The project, located on a site where no wind farm has operated before, will install a new grid-connected wind farm consisting of 96 wind turbines with an installed capacity of 144MW.

Electricity delivered to the grid by the wind farm is an alternative to existing coal generated energy, reducing CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and resulting in an expected total GHG emission reductions of 4,339,290 tCO2e with annual average GHG emission reductions at 433,929 tCO2e.

The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the electricity generation at the wind farm will amount to zero and will prevent the release of 1,428,835 tCO2 into the atmosphere.

The project has a strong commitment to environmental and sustainable development that benefit local communities through the following contributions:
