Carbon Credits:

We are making energy efficient LED Lights. By using these Lights corporates or public utility companies will draw less power from the grid. The Power available on the grid is generated by conventional power generation Plants like Nuclear Power Plants, Thermal Power Plants, and Hydro Electric Generation.

Internationally, coal is currently the most widely used primary fuel, accounting for approximately 36% of the world's electricity production. This situation is likely to remain until at least 2020. Coal has the most waste problems of all energy sources. Waste includes sulphur and nitrogen oxides, organic compounds, heavy metals, radioactive elements, greenhouse gases and a lot of ash. Building a coal-fired power station is a long and expensive process.

For a unit of power to be generated in Thermal Power plants approximately 490 Grams of Coal is burnt and this will release almost 850 grams of Green House Gases like Co2, No2 & So2.

Environmental implications of using one kilowatt-hour of electricity

Figures are determined using energy sent out by power station

Element	Unit	2000
Water usage	litres	1,21
Coal usage	kilograms	0,49
Ash produced	Grams	130
Ash emitted	grams	0,35
SO2 emissions	grams	7,95
NOX emissions	grams	3,56
CO2 emissions	kilograms	0,85

So if effective consumption of Electricity is reduced the lesser will be the electricity produced and this in turn will reduce the Green House Gases. Each tonne of Green House Gases reduced will be counted as one CER Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) are climate credits (or carbon credits) issued by the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Executive Board for emission reductions achieved by CDM projects and verified by a DOE under the rules of the Kyoto Protocol. CERs can be used by countries in order to comply with their emission limitation targets or by operators of installations covered by the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) in order to comply with their obligations to surrender EU Allowances, CERs or Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) for the CO2 emissions of their installations. CERs can be held by governmental and private entities on electronic accounts.

Projects that are registered under CDM with UNFCC can claim carbon credits and can avail benefits by reselling these credits in the open market.

CDM Statistics

	Annual Average CERs*	Expected CERs until end of 2012**
CDM project pipeline: > 4200 of which:	N/A	> 2,900,000,000
--- 2164 are registered	356,188,299	> 1,760,000,000
--- 61 are requesting registration	8,948,181	> 20,000,000

* Assumption: All activities deliver simultaneously their expected annual average emission reductions

** Assumption: No renewal of crediting periods
