Climate Mitigation
Climate Adaptation
 



   Our gamut of services in the Climate domain spans two streams of activities

Climate Mitigation
 

Economies and businesses today are increasingly taking cognizance of their carbon footprints and embracing strategic initiatives in reducing their emissions. As a result, we are witnessing emergence of new regulatory, voluntary and market based mechanisms across the world. This scenario is creating new opportunities for promoting low carbon initiatives. Greenstratos not only enables clients to assess, account and reduce their carbon footprints but also avail carbon revenues for their projects through appropriate global instruments.

Our services in the climate mitigation space comprise the following:

Carbon Advisory Services

 
 

We have expertise in developing projects under the Clean Development Mechanism of Kyoto Protocol for enabling project owners to avail revenues through carbon credits. The following presents a snapshot of such potential activities:

A brief description of typical projects across the above sectors:

 

 Sectors  

Potential projects/activities

 

Waste

 
  • Composting from municipal organic waste.
  • Landfill gas recovery and use for electricity generation.
  • Waste-to-energy conversion activities (e.g. biogas, bio-
    gasification).
 

Energy

 
  • Development of renewable energy sources (hydro, solar, wind
    and biomass).
  • Clean coal technologies
  • Fuel substitution measures.
  • Improvement in electricity transmission and distribution
    network.
  • Reduction of leakage in transport, handling and distribution of
    oil and gas.
  Buildings
(residential, commercial and government)		  
  • Energy-efficient design of buildings including cogeneration.
  • Energy-efficient appliances.
  • Energy conservation measures.
  • Reuse of waste water & water treatment.
  • Use of renewable energy sources.
 

Agriculture

 
  • Solar and wind pumping.
  • Improvement in use of agrochemicals (fertilizers and
    pesticides).
  • Reduction of energy use for irrigation through efficient pumps
    and demand-side management.
  • Improvement in cultivation practices to reduce methane
    emissions.
 

Forests

 
  • Afforestation and reforestation.
  Industry and Manufacturing  
  • Cogeneration
  • Energy conversion and energy-efficiency measures.
  • Process modifications in order to lower emissions.
  • Change of feedstock in boilers (e.g. oil to gas).
 

Mining

 
  • Coal bed methane recovery.
  Transport  
  • Introduction of alternate fuels (e.g. bio-fuel).
  • Fuel-efficiency measures.
  • Improvement in public transport.
  • Urban planning and traffic management.
 
Climate Adaptation
 

There is a need for Government, industry and communities to reorient their approach in order to cope up with the changing climatic patterns. This transformation requires new and innovative policies, programmes and projects that will lead to reducing the vulnerability to climate change. Greenstratos adopts Public-Private-People (3P) participation in enabling this transformation through a wide spectrum of activities.
