Mitigation Projects
Carbon Sequestration
reNew has acquired an area in excess of 5000 hectares in a degraded forest reserve in the Ashanti Region in Ghana. The area will be reforested with a mixture of native, exotic tree, and threatened species to promote bio-diversity and soil regeneration. It is expected that the trees will 'soak' carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis which is vital for plant growth.
The project is expected to generate approximately 300,000tC02e per year and 15 milliontC02e over a 60 year lifetime.
Energy Efficiency
reNew will replace 10 million incandesant lighting fixtures in 2 million households in Ghana with 10 million energy efficient compact flourescant lamps (CFLs). This project will adopt the Programmatic CDM (PoA) approach. The initial PoA will be implemented in the Central Region, and subsequently following through with the other PoA in the remaining regions. This project use high quality 15000hr runtime CFLs and will be expected to last 10 years, with 3.5 hours use per day.
The project is expected to generate approximately 511,000tC02e per year and 5.1million tC02e over a 10 year crediting period.
Energy savings to the grid is expected to be approximately 750,000MWh. Households are expected to save 80% of lighting related electricity tariffs.
Renewable Energy
reNew will produce bio-diesel for use in her project activities in an effort to avoid fossil fuel use and achieve 'carbon neutrality' in project activities.
reNew will seek to develop methane capture projects in waste-energy projects especially for rural communities.
Adaptation Projects
