A sustainable solution with winners all round

Solvatten AB has teamed up with Tricorona, a leading company in the global climate economy, to offer CDM* projects under the UN’s Kyoto Protocol. The first project is now starting in the Western Province of Kenya. As well as UNFCCC registration, Solvatten projects are expected to be certified ‘Gold Standard’- a certification reserved for high quality carbon offsets and approved by all the major environmental organisations. Swedish company Middagsfrid was one of the first to embrace this scheme. They have set a target of offsetting a whole year’s carbon emissions by distributing Solvatten units to families. These families would otherwise be collecting and burning wood to heat and treat their water. The result – everyone wins.

Solvatten helps Middagsfrid to climate compensate

Tricorona and the Swedish company Middagsfrid have signed an agreement to invest in a project that will generate carbon credits. The project will be conducted in western Kenya, where a prior pilot study took place in 2009. Approximately 5 000 people will benefit as they will start using the sun to warm and boil water and reduce their use of fuels that pollute. And at the same time the project will enable Middagsfrid to compensate for their carbon emissions for a year. The collaboration between Solvatten AB, Tricorona and Middagsfrid will demonstrate carbon offsetting in a way that significantly improves lives and the environment – what better way to do this?
