The projects are expected to generate a combined total of 100,000 CER per annum. The projects employ FaL-G technology in brick manufacturing facilities for production of alternative building materials. The technology requires no sintering process thereby avoiding the use of the fossil fuel (coal) in the brick production process. The Fal-G bricks and blocks provide an alternative to the traditional burnt clay bricks that require the consumption of fossil fuel.
Tricorona will act as the CDM developer and expert including building the business case to insure a take-up of participants and to leverage economies of scale where possible for the successful implementation of hydro power projects in Rwanda, resulting in real and measurable emission reductions under the Clean Development Mechanism.
The joint action aims at improving the geographical distribution of the Clean Development Mechanism whilst supporting Rwanda in its ambitious strategic objectives for the energy sector.
Environmental Finance and Carbon Finance – two of the leading global publications covering environmental markets – have named the winners in their 12th annual market survey. Over 1000 voters participated in the market survey.
The survey – the most closely watched poll of sentiment across carbon, renewable energy, weather risk and US emissions markets – reveals those firms that their clients, peers and competitors have judged to have provided the best service over the previous twelve months.
Tricorona was, once again, a Gold Sponsor of the event, with staff from Stockholm, Beijing and Singapore participating in the conference. Furthermore the Gold Standard Foundation was invited to participate as a co-exhibitor at our stand to show both organizations’ commitment towards higher sustainability in projects.
Susanne Haefeli-Hestvik, Technical Director at Tricorona, moderated a session on standardized baselines and the scaling-up of carbon crediting in Least Developed Countries and other underrepresented regions.
The Haga Initiative want to lower the climate impact of the business sector and communicate that climate change is one of the most important issues for the future, and also inspire more companies to take active climate responsibility.

The network is entirely in line with our view on climate change and we believe we can contribute to knowledge in the green industries, says Per Strömberg, President and CEO of Lantmännen.
The law will now go to the Senate, where it is expected to pass with ease as the ruling coalition holds a comfortable majority. The law calls for the implementation of a carbon tax of AU$ 23 on the country’s 500 biggest polluters from July 2012, which then in July 2015 will develop into a trading scheme with a floating price. When this happens, participants are allowed to use CERs for compliance to an amount equal to 50% of their compliance needs.
