    Summary

    Todae's view on the role of carbon offsets in addressing climate change

    "Carbon offsetting is not the solution to climate change, awareness and reducing one's footprint are the most important factors. It is through offsetting that we can then make our unavoidable emissions neutral."

    - Greenhouse FriendlyThe Greenhouse Friendly™ initiative operated between 2001 and 30 June 2010. It certified carbon neutral products and services and approved abatement credits for sale on the voluntary market. Applications for new abatement projects have closed. These were not considered eligible offsets under NCOS and could not be retired for the purpose of becoming carbon neutral under the NCOS from 1 July 2010. This situation may change in future as a result of reviews of the NCOS by DCCEE.

    [Q15]- Carbon dioxideA greenhouse gas that is produced as a by-product of oil and gas production, burning fossil fuels and biomassBiomass is non-fossilized and organic biodegradable material that can be used as fuel or for industrial production. Most commonly, biomass refers to plant matter grown for use as Biofuels, but it also includes plant or animal matter used for production of fibres, chemicals or heat. Biomass may also include biodegradable wastes that can be burnt as fuel. , as well as from all animals, plants, and a number of other natural sources. Carbon dioxide is the principal anthropogenic greenhouse gas that affects the earth’s temperature.

    Solar REC's | Domestic other Solar Renewable Energy Certificates RECs

    General Information

    This project is not owned by Todae | RECsRenewable Energy Certificates in Australia were previously issued by the Australian Government's Office of Renewable Energy Regulator prior to 1 January 2011. They were equivalent to one-megawatt hour of renewable electricity. As from 1 January 2011 certificates issued under the Renewable Energy Target are issued as LGCs or STCs. are basically an investment in renewable energy which are validated by the Office of the Renewable Energy RegulatorThe Office of the Renewable Energy Regulator is a statutory authority established to oversee the implementation of the Australian Government's mandatory renewable energy target (MRET).. Solar REC's are usually generated from Solar Hot Water and Solar PhotovoltaicPhotovoltaic cells are used in solar panels to convert sunlight directly into electricity. Installations. RECs contribute to the renewable energy supplied to the electricity grid, which reduces carbon emission. By choosing a Solar REC offsetA carbon offset is an investment in a project or activity that reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or sequesters carbon from the atmosphere that is used to compensate for GHG emissions from your own activities.

    Waste Recycling | WA WA Methane avoidance through waste recycling Greenhouse Friendly

    General Information

    This project is not owned by Todae | The project reduces waste heading to domestic landfillA specially designed site for the disposal of waste to land by burial. sites. Landfill sites produce methaneMethane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas with a GWP of 21. as the organic matter decomposes. One tonne of methane is equal to 21-23 tonnes of CO2A greenhouse gas that is produced as a by-product of oil and gas production, burning fossil fuels and biomass, as well as from all animals, plants, and a number of other natural sources. Carbon dioxide is the principal anthropogenic greenhouse gas that affects the earth’s temperature., and waste recycling credits help reduce the amount of methane in the atmosphere.
    Waste recycling can generate:
    * 85% reduction in the amount of domestic waste sent to landfill.
    * A reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that exceeds national targets.
    * waste recycling offsets will help fund the development and running of efficient recycling plants in local communities across Australia.
