SGS files for 130MW hydro CDM registration

Bnamericas
International certification firm SGS has filed a registration request with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for a hydro plant in Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul state. Brazilian energy firm Ceran and carbon credit trading company C-Trade Comercializadora de Carbono are behind the 130MW Castro Alves project. Castro Alves is one of three hydro plants in the Antas river complex, whose total installed capacity is 360MW. If the request is approved, the plant would qualify as a clean development mechanism (CDM), making it eligible to receive carbon credits tradable on the international market under the Kyoto Protocol. The plants' CO2 emission reductions are estimated at 314,636t/y.
