24 MW Bhilangana - III Hydro Power Project

Bhilangana - III (B-III) is a run-of-the-river 24 MW (consisting 3 units of 8 MW each) Hydro Power Project located at Village Ghuttu, Tehsil Ghansali, District Tehri, Uttarakhand State, India. The project activity contemplates utilization of water of Bhilangana River, a tributary of the river Bhagirathi, for setting up an environmentally benign project for generation of electricity.

The project activity is implemented by Bhilangana Hydro Power Limited (BHPL) with the objective of ensuring effective and efficient utilization of natural resources, coupled with responsible environmental consideration, which are vital for achieving sustainable  development in India.

The electricity generated from the project site will be displacing the grid electricity (a grid mix contributed from different fuel sources) by its equivalent units. Thus, the project activity will be preventing the anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by the fossil fuel (coal, diesel, furnace oil and gas etc.) based thermal power stations in the grid and will be contributing to sustainable development through conservation of environment. The project is a run of river type with minimum environmental impact and the generated electricity is being sold to the state electricity grid, thus reducing dependence on fossil fuels and reducing C02 emissions. The project activity by generating clean power has excellent environment benefits in terms of reduction of GHG emissions and conservation of natural resources.

The project activity would lead to alleviation of poverty by establishing direct & indirect benefits through employment generation at all levels from unskilled to skilled workers during the construction & operation phases.

Santana I SHP CDM Project (JUN 1118)

The project generates electricity from a renewable source. Unlike large hydroelectric facilities, Sanatana I, a plant with an installed capacity of 14.75 MW, has virtually no environmental impact. This project uses natural resources efficiently and contributes to sustainable development in Brazil.

The project generates electricity from a renewable source (hydroelectric source), through the small hydro power plant Santana I. This project was developed by Firenze Energética S/A, a private company that is part of the Interalli Group. Interalli Group, based in Curitiba, Brazil, has diverse operations, including technological development of seeds and planting, port terminal facilities, logistic systems, export and import of commodities, and hydroelectric energy generation plants.

Aufforstungsprojekte weltweit

Der Klimaschutzbeitrag fließt direkt in Aufforstungs- und Schutzprojekte von Naturefund. An mehreren Standorten weltweit werden Bäume gepflanzt, Wälder geschützt und Ökosysteme gestärkt. Neben den Beiträgen aus dem Blue Planet Certificate und Spenden von Privatpersonen und Sponsoren, unterstützen auch Institutionen wie das Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ) und die Deutsche Umwelthilfe die Projekte und fördern die Pflanzung weiterer Bäume.

Ökosysteme als CO2-Speicher

Natürliche Wälder, ein gesunder Boden und intakte Ökosysteme speichern CO2 im großen Stil. Darüber hinaus geben sie uns Nahrung, sauberes Wasser und schaffen Lebensperpektiven für uns Menschen. Daher schützt das Blue Planet Certificate von Naturefund gezielt natürliche Ökosysteme.
