This project is an avoidance project. This means contributing to climate action by implementing activities that prevent the release of harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

This project type is Solar. This means initiatives that use sunlight as the primary source of energy. To generate carbon credits, the solar energy project calculates the amount of CO2 emissions that would have been emitted if the same amount of electricity were produced from fossil fuel sources, such as coal or natural gas. The difference between the actual emissions from fossil fuel sources and the emissions avoided by using solar energy represents the carbon credits generated by the project. This type of project also needs to cover the additionality principle meaning that a solar energy project needs to show that without the project, the same amount of clean energy wouldn't have been produced, and fossil fuel sources would have been used instead. If a project lacks additionality or does not replace energy from fossil fuels, it may not generate carbon credits. However, it can still be marketed as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), which demonstrate the use of renewable energy sources and promote their adoption.
