Carbon Credit Program: Methan Capture and Methane Avoidance

Eco Global Markets is proudly offering clients exclusive opportunities to buy discounted, pre-issue Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) that result from a methane capture and methane avoidance projects that span China, India and South Africa. There are two different projects that are designed to mitigate methane effects. These are: Methane Capture (CH4Capture) and Methane Avoidance (CH4Avoidance).

Methane Avoidance (CH4Avoidance) is known as the Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Methane Avoidance initiative. This gas is the second largest global warming contributor, with a global warming potential 21 times greater than carbon dioxideA naturally occurring gas and one of the most abundant greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is also a by-product of industrial processes, burning fossil fuels and land use changes..

The CH4Avoidance scheme implements compost and aeration technologies to minimise methane generation of landfill waste. Methane formation is therefore substantially reduced to generate emission avoidance. At this stage, CH4Avoidance is being accredited under the Kyoto ProtocolThe Kyoto Protocol originated at COP-3 to the UNFCCC in Kyoto, Japan, December 1997. It details emission obligations for Annex B countries and specifies the terms for JI, CDMClean Development Mechanism - a mechanism for project-based emission reduction activities in developing countries (non-Annex B countries). Carbon credits (CERs) are generated from these projects. and emissions tradingA market-based approach to achieving environmental objectives that allows sources reducing emissions below their target to sell the excess reductions to offset emissions at another source..

Methane Capture (CH4Capture) technologies are deployed at two starch facilities located in the Guangxi Province, China. This involves installing management systems that treat the wastewater in enclosed reactors and then extract the methane. The captured methane will be converted into heat for on-site usage at the starch plant thus replacing the need to use heavy fuel oil. Consequently, this process reduces emissions by capturing methane and using it to produce energy that would normally have been produced using coal.

Eco Global Markets is offering investors the opportunity to purchase a limited amount of pre-issue carbon credits at an early stage alongside our main partners. These pre-issue carbon credits are purchased at a lower rate during the accreditation process. The early stage investor is rewarded at the end certificationIndependent verification that emissions reductions have taken place. Under the terms of the Kyoto Protocol, certification can only be carried out by a Designated Operational Entity. point where the credit will fetch a significantly higher price than its pre-issue value.
