Krasnodoncoal has generated €598 thsd within the framework of Kyoto Protocol
Krasnodoncoal OJSC has generated €598 thsd as proceeds from the sale of carbon credits within the framework of the first phase of the Mine Methane Utilization Project. The project was developed using the Kyoto Protocol mechanisms. Its goals include improvement of miners' safety and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The proceeds will be used to develop degassing systems of coal mining subdivisions and raise the level of industrial safety. The proceeds have been transferred by the emissions buyer - ING Bank (the Netherlands) upon verification of the emissions reduction achieved in 2006-2008. Currently, verification of emissions as of 2009 and the first six months of 2010 has commenced. The Joint Implementation Project was started in 2006 at Suhodol'skoe-Vostochnoe mine. This is the first mine methane utilization project of Krasnodoncoal using the flexible Kyoto Protocol mechanisms. Krasnodoncoal's investments in this project have exceeded $1 mln. The total volume of reduced greenhouse gas emissions under the project will comprise around 300 thsd units of CO2 by the end of 2012. To learn more, please, click here.
