What is the Gold Standard?
Non-profit foundation based in Geneva, Switzerland
The global benchmark certification scheme for high quality carbon
reduction projects in both compliance and voluntary carbon markets
Independently verified to deliver real, measurable, permanentgreenhouse gas reductions and sustainable development
The only standard to incorporate Monitoring, Reporting & Verification for
sustainable development and environmental co-benefits - for all projects
Actively supported by 75 NGOs worldwide, including WWF, Greenpeace
& Mercy Corps
Buyers include Swiss Post, Deutsche Post, DHL, Nokia, Virgin Atlantic,
H&M, TUI Travel, FIFA and multiple governments
Trusted by the United Nations as the standard for its carbon projects

Kuyasa Low Cost Urban Housing Energy Upgrade
Co-benefits: Reduction in local air pollution
Decreases in pulmonary pneumonia, carbon
monoxide poisoning and other respiratory illnesses
Decrease in accidents and damage to property as
a result of fire.
GS337 VER Energy EfficiencySouth Africa 6,580 tCO2e/yr
The project activity aims to make the thermal performance of heating water and lighting for
low-income housing (existing and future) more efficient, resulting to less power
consumption. Estimated by suppressed demand.

Zengammina Mini Hydro Scheme
GS355 VER Renewable EnergyZambia : 2,923 tCO2e/yr
This 700KW run-of-river mini hydro scheme
provides cheap, clean and sustainable
electric power to Mwinilunga district
Kalene Mission, North Western Province,
Zambia.
It removes dependence on diesel generators
and supplies the local hospital, farms, village
and the chiefs palace with electricity. The
project also provides an inexpensive energy
option for lighting (displacing kerosene). It
creates the basis of a self sustaining,
developing local economy, and contributes
significantly to poverty reduction.

Zengammina Mini Hydro Scheme
GS355 VER Renewable EnergyZambia : 2,923 tCO2e/yr
Sustainable and Measurable Results:
Created approximately 450 jobs at
the peal, a large proportion of which
are women. For many, this job
represented their first cash income.
* Provides electricity in the local
schools, giving children access to
computers in the Sakeji school, in the
Kalene hospital where operations can
now be undertaken at all times and in
homes where people will have access
to electric light on demand for the first
time

D.light Rural Lighting Project India
GS600 CER Renewable EnergyIndia 130,000 tCO2e/yr
Over 1 million D.light LED solar lighting products are being distributed in
the Indian states of Uttar, Pradesh, and Bihar. A similar project is
currently being developed in Tanzania (GS679)
Co-Benefits:
Improved health conditions
Reduced indoor air pollution
Improved quality of life
Income generation Better lighting at home for
reading, studying or handicrafts
Eliminates fire accidents from
flame based light

Federal Intertrade Haiyuan Solar Cooker Project
GS710 CER Renewable EnergyChina 33,482 tCO2e/yr
The project will install 17,000 solar cookers for the poor rural residents in
mountainous area and thus enabling them to efficiently substitute solar
energy for the fossil fuel (coal) used in daily cooking and water boiling.
* Each solar cooker
has a power rating
of 773.5W
Total installed
capacity is13.1MW
Located in
southern Ningxia
in northwestern
China

Federal Intertrade Haiyuan Solar Cooker Project
GS710 CER Renewable EnergyChina 33,482 tCO2e/yr
Co-Benefits:
The project will serve as a model for future
project and stimulate the interests of investors
in solar energy projects. Promote the use of clean energy
Educate and train the rural population on
solar energy technology, and build awareness in
environmental protection among the rural
population.
The experienced personnel trained by this
project can assist other projects in the future.
Reduce CO2 emissions generated by coal-fired
stoves.

Proyecto Mirador Enhanced Distribution
of Efficient WoodstovesGS690 VER Energy EfficiencyHonduras 38,149 tCO2e/yr
This project reduces indoor air pollution by disseminating improved wood
stoves called La Justa to the local areas around the Santa Barbara Province of
Honduras. The La Justa was engineered to burn hotter and use less wood
compared to a traditional fogon stove.
A field study showed that the
replacement of one traditional fogon
stove with one La Justa (Model 2x3)
stove reduces greenhouse gas (GHG)emissions by 1.9 mtCO2e/year. This
project is estimated to reduce emission
over 38,000 emissions annually. That is
the equivalent of taking more than
12,000 tonnes of rubbish out of landfill.

Case study cont: Contribution to sustainable development
Improves air quality
Reduces living costs for families
Decreases child and adult mortality
Creates local employment opportunities
Facilitates transfer of technical knowledge Helps reduce the burden on limited natural resources
Contributes to local/regional economy
Helps prevent respiratory illnesses caused by toxic gases
Reduces time devoted to wood collection and/or money
spent on wood
Serves as a model for other stove projects by monetising
certified carbon saving
Carbon Finance enables a move from charitable donations
to a model that is self-sustaining and market driven
Fogon vs. La Justa

UN World Food Programme SAFE Project in Darfur
WFP and the IASC are implementing SAFE (Safe Access to Firewood and
alternative Energy in Humanitarian Settings) in Darfur WFP plans to provide and assist c.100,000 women with fuel-efficient stoves
and innovative fuel technologies in combination with alternative income
opportunities, and to provide fuel-efficient stoves and equipment to 170
schools to alleviate the household burden of school meals.
