Aswan, Egypt - N2O Abatement

Fertiliser production support Egypt’s agrarian economy but no regulations currently exist to control nitrous oxide, a by-product of fertiliser production with a global warming potential 300 times that of CO2.

The N2O and NOX Abatement Project at KIMA Fertilizer Plant in Aswan project funds abatement catalysts estimated to decompose 98% of N2O emissions produced - equivalent to 120,650 metric tonnes CO2 equivalent per annum.

Prairie Pothole – Grassland protection

This project protects over 14,000 acres of native grasslands across the Great Plains. Millions of tonnes of CO₂ are stored in plants and in the soil. By protecting this land from conver-sion to cropping, the release of the carbon from the soil is avoided.

The swampy lands aroundthe Prairie Pothole project in Dakota are a rich ecological habitat. Home to nesting waterbirds and other biodiversity, the avoided conversion of this land is vital to maintaining increasingly scarce breeding grounds.

‘Wester Coshieville’ in rural Scotland

Trees are a vital natural carbon sink, holding 45% of all land carbon globally. Revegetating the UK is a key part of the plan to meet net zero goals with planting rates expected to triple in coming years. The Wester Coshieville project is a home to biodiversity and performs a variety of othercrucial ecosystem services such as reducing soil erosion and managing water quality. The area has also been developed into an area of community education and recreation.

Katingan Mentaya Peatland Restoration

The project restores and protects peatlands from the encroachment of slash and burn agricul-ture and palm planta-tions. Peatlands are a vital terrestrial carbon store – despite only cov-ering 3% of the world’s land surface, they hold 30% of the land’s car-bon. Over the 60 year life of the project, it’s expected to prevent the release of 447,110,760 tonnes of CO2 .

Over 500 people, from 34 villages in the surrounding area, are directly employed by the Katingan Mentaya project. 100% of the project staff are Indonesian and 80% are local community members, embedding the project in local culture, and providing a living network for com-munication and learning.

Chudu Afforestation Project

The project has planted 36,500ha of new forest on lands at risk of desertification in the Henan Province of China.Trees are a vital natural carbon sink, holding 45% of all land carbon globally. The project area is of poor ecological value and the planting of new trees has stopped encroaching desertification.

The project activity has had a significant effect on the local, rural economy providing 33,000 jobs for local villagers, including 23 thousand women.
