REDUCING OUR CARBON EMISSIONS
Reducing carbon emissions is critical for mitigating the impacts of climate change. Climate change is
caused by the release of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere. These gases
trap heat and cause the planet's temperature to rise, leading to a range of negative impacts such as sea
level rise, more frequent and severe natural disasters, and changes in weather patterns.
By reducing our carbon emissions, we can help slow down the pace of climate change and reduce the
severity of its impacts. This can help protect vulnerable communities, ecosystems, and species from the
worst effects of climate change. In addition, reducing our carbon emissions can also have co-benefits such
as improving air quality, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and promoting innovation and new economic
opportunities in clean energy technologies.
REDUCTION TARGET PLAN
Our organisation is committed to
reducing our greenhouse gas
emissions in order to mitigate the
impacts of climate change. Our target
is to reduce our emissions by 50%
below our baseline levels by 2030. We
recognize that this is an ambitious
goal, but we believe it is necessary to
contribute to the global effort to
address climate change.
CARBON OFFSETTING PROJECTS
Through the Carbon Neutral Britain Climate Fund™, have offset our total carbon emissions through
internationally certified carbon offsetting projects. Certified via the Verra - Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the
Gold Standard - Voluntary Emission Reductions (VER) or the United Nations - Certified Emission Reductions (CER)
programmes, the projects have also been selected based on their direct and indirect impact around the world
- not just in offsetting, but also in supporting education, employment and clean water, as well as having net
positive impact on the local wildlife and ecology. As the three largest, and most regulated voluntary offsetting
standards used by organisations and even countries in their emissions reductions - all measurements and
tonnes of CO₂e offset are accurate, and verified.
OUR PROJECTS
Project 1088: Hydroelectric Power in Chile
This project was developed by the Bureau of Energy
Efficiency (BEE) to promote energy-efficient lighting in
India, thus reducing the electricity, and therefore
carbon emissions generated from the grid. When
established, around 76% of India’s electricity was
generated from coal – and so by reducing energy
consumption and efficiency, over 35,000 tonnes of
CO2e are offset each year.

Project 1163: Cook Stove Project in Malaw
The Salkhit Wind Farm is the first grid-connected wind
farm in Mongolia. The project generates renewable
electricity using wind power resources and supplies it
to the Mongolian central electricity system grid to meet
the growing electricity demand.
The project reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
by avoiding CO₂ emissions from electricity generation
from fossil fuel power plants that are supplied to the
Grid. The expected total annual net electricity
generation of the Salkhit Wind Farm is 168.5 GWh with
an annual emission reduction of 178,778 tonnes of CO₂
equivalent (tCO₂e).
Project 1162: Energy Efficient Lighting in India
This project was developed by the Bureau of Energy
Efficiency (BEE) to promote energy-efficient lighting in
India, thus reducing the electricity, and therefore
carbon emissions generated from the grid. When
established, around 76% of India’s electricity was
generated from coal – and so by reducing energy
consumption and efficiency, over 35,000 tonnes of
CO2e are offset each year.
Project 1165: Salkhit Wind Farm in Mangolia
Located in the Tinguiririca River upper valley, this
Hydroelectric project is around 120km south of
Santiago, Chile. Known as La Confluencia, the 163 MW
run of river hydro power plant utilizes the hydrological
resources of the Tinguiririca, Portillo and Azufre Rivers, in
a run of river scheme to generate and supply zero
emission energy to the Chilean central electricity grid
(SIC). The power plant generates certified emission
reductions (CERs) by displacing electricity generation
from grid connected fossil fuel-fired power plants that
would otherwise be generating electricity.
WHY CARBON NEUTRTAL BRITAIN
Carbon Neutral Britain™ is the UK's Leading Carbon Offsetting Initiative -
allowing individuals and businesses to offset their environmental impact. All of
the projects they select are certified to the highest standards through either
the Verra - Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the Gold Standard -Voluntary
Emission Reductions (VER) or the United Nations - Certified Emission
Reductions (CER) programmes.
