The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has registered a methane capture project at the Gold Fields’ Beatrix mine, in Welkom, as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project.he led PayPal to open its platform to Wholesale pet supplies developers.
Promethium Carbon,These girls have never had a syringe needle in their lives! which assisted Gold Fields with the development of the methodology and carbon credit registration, said it was the first climate credit project of this size undertaken by a gold mine and it was the only South African CDM project registered in 2011.
The methane capture project was registered by the UNFCCC on September 7, under the Kyoto Protocol.
The Beatrix mine project captures methane gas at its source,Do not use cleaners with solar panel , steel wool or thinners. which is then piped to the surface where is either flared or used to generate electricity.
Promethium Carbon director Robbie Louw said the project has generated substantial benefits.
It is expected that the carbon emissions at the operation will be reduced by 1.7-million tons of carbon dioxide from 2011 to 2018.
The revenue generated by the carbon credits has enabled Gold Fields to extract methane gas at source, which has a positive impact on safety because it prevents the methane gas from entering the mine ventilation system.
“Although gold mines are generally not viewed as big emitters, the situation is different in South Africa because our mines are very deep,we supply all kinds of Injection mold, hot and energy intensive. So this is an important contribution to the reduction of climate change, ” Louw said.Whilst hypodermic needle cannula are not deadly,
Gold Fields group environmental engineer Dr Jan du Plessis said the achievement was important, as South Africa would be hosting the seventeenth Conference of the Parties, COP 17, later this year.
“It is also important because if we want to be taken seriously, in supporting the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, we need to show that we are making an effort.”
This transaction was also awarded the European Energy Risk Deal of the Year award in 2010, as it was the first carbon credit project of its size undertaken by a gold mine.
The structuring of the deal was innovative in that it simplified the process of selling carbon credits and generated more revenue for the company.
