Charm Industrial Bio-oil Sequestration
United States
Charm collects waste from plants that have captured carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, applies a heating process called pyrolysis that converts the plant waste into bio-oil, and injects that bio oil into deep wells or caverns where it hardens and will be stored permanently instead of being released to the atmosphere as the plants decay.
Delta Blue Carbon Mangrove Restoration
Pakistan
The largest restoration project in the world, Delta Blue seeks to restore 225,000 hectares of land through large-scale mangrove restoration on the Indus Delta in Pakistan. It also is among the highest-regarded afforestation projects in the world, with both design and execution consistent with leading science.
Katingan Mentaya Peatland Preservation
Indonesia
One of the highest-regarded conservation projects in the world, this project protects 149,800 hectares of peatland in Indonesia at high risk of conversion to plantations. While peatlands represent only 0.3% of the earth’s surface, their destruction contributes between 2-5% of annual anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.
Converting Landfill Gas to Electricity
Turkey
This project captures methane from a landfill in Turkey and generates more than 42MW of electricity. Landfill gas projects are high-impact because methane is a potent greenhouse gas but there is little incentive to capture it.
