The perfect Green Gift
Everyday activities that we take for granted contribute to global pollution. Now with the Carbon Credit gift pack you can reduce the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere in two very important ways - by learning about your personal impact on greenhouse gases and ways that you can make a real difference, and by supporting a range of CO2 reduction schemes.
For every pack purchased 250kg of CO2 will be offset or prevented from entering the atmosphere by direct investment in Worldwide schemes such as Biopower from sugar in India, wind power projects in China and Turkey, and a methane recovery project in Germany.
Information about the projects can be found inside the pack and all are officially recognised 'VERs' (Verified Emission Reductions).
Pack Contents
The 'Carbon Credit' Gift Pack contains:
- Certificate of carbon credits purchased

Emission Reduction Project in India
PROJECT TYPE: Renewable energy
PROJECT LOCATION: Andhra Pradesh, India
Description of Project
Waste water from Sugar Plants has a high organic content which requires treatment before discharge. In India, this treatment usually takes place in a system of open lagoons where organics decompose in the open air, releasing large volumes of the potent greenhouse gas methane. The project has used the expected revenues from sales of carbon credits to implement a superior technological solution, which captures the methane in an anaerobic digester and uses it as a biofuel for clean power generation.
Social and Environmental Benefits
The project contributes to energy efficiency by tapping the valuable energetic potential contained in a waste product. Besides the conversion of methane to bioenergy, organic residue from the project process can be used as a Bio-Compost that displaces highly energy-intensive inorganic fertilisers. The project can serve as a flagship example for adoption of such innovative measures in similar industries companies. The project proponent is highly aware of the company’s environmental and social responsibilities and well known for its work for the community. It has for example established a foundation actively involved in education, health, hygiene and rural empowerment, set up a number of educational institutes at primary, secondary and professional levels, a mobile medical unit covering about 25 villages as well as Rural Entrepreneurship and Employment Generation Institutes.
