Emissions Reduction

These projects reduce greenhouse gas emissions by exchanging dirty fuels for cleaner ones, and replacing inefficient energy production with newer, more efficient technologies.

GREEN FACT: Recent research has shown that carbon pollution contributes to global warming at a level that is about 60% of carbon dioxide's warming effect, making black carbon the second-biggest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide.
