Who is African Emissions Trading and what is our dream?
Our business can only be explained by understanding a bit of the bigger picture, specifically when it comes to the power situation in South Africa. This picture involves Alternative Energy, Carbon Credits and a combination of how these becomes one.
By making use of alternative energy less carbon dioxide is emitted to the atmosphere. In South Africa 95% of electricity is generated using coal fired power stations and the carbon footprint of these stations are high (1.02 tons of CO2e/MWh). Replacing this electricity therefore carries a high probability of earning carbon credits.
Combine these facts with the energy crises that South Africa faces and we should be in a position to earn credits from the fact that we use alternative energy. It is our dream to be in a position where we can help you to be more energy efficient, save on electricity, help the environment and earn carbon credits.
