At a Glance
  • Reduction of 51,620  metric tons of CO2 per year
Projects Benefits
  • Reduces the need for electricity generated from captive diesel generators

  • Eliminates methane gas emitted from decaying rick husks

  • Provides reliable electricity access to the local community 

  •  Leads to technology and know-how transfer in Cambodia

About renewable
These projects create the infrastructure needed to generate renewable energy harnessed from natural resources like the sun or wind. Once these sources are in place, they become a permanent source of clean energy.
How it works
  • The project developer funds the development of the facilities for alternative electricity generation 

  • Rice husks, which would otherwise be left to decay and emit methane gases, are used to generate biogas 

  • The biogas is provided to the Angkor Rice Mill, which otherwise would have relied on diesel to generate electricity 

  • Surplus energy from the biogas is supplied to neighbouring factories

  • Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced and reliable access to renewable electricity is ensured 

Proof of Carbon Accounting
To ensure transparency, Green Story Carbon Registry tracks issuance and retirement of carbon credits for all projects on the Green Story offset platform.
