Projects

The Tradewater International Honduras 1.0 project destroyed CFC-12, a refrigerant and potent greenhouse gas privately stored in Honduras that otherwise that otherwise would have leaked into the atmosphere over time.

The Clinton Landfill Gas Collection and Combustion Project captures landfill gas that would, under normal circumstances, be emitted to the atmosphere.

The Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Project is a native reforestation project located in Southwest Australia, using native trees and shrubs to reclaim degraded farmland to remove upwards of 1.5M tonnes of carbon over its 50 year crediting period.

This project collects landfill gas at a municipal landfill near the city of Fortaleza in Brazil. It avoids the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and displaces natural gas in the distribution grid.

A relatively small North American forestry project, Kootznoowoo protects 20,159 acres of forest across four areas on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska.

This project collects landfill gas to generate 5.655MW of electricity at a landfill serving Gaziantep City, Turkey, avoiding the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and using the methane to generate power and displace dirtier fossil-fuel-driven power in the electric grid.

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.

One of the oldest and most successful reforestation projects ever undertaken, TIST partners with thousands of small landowners and subsistence farmers in Uganda to plant a mixture of native trees, food bearing trees, and commercial trees in areas that have been substantially deforested.
