Information for Project Owners

GreenStream manages assets on behalf of investors for purchasing emission reductions, or carbon credits, under the Kyoto project mechanisms´ Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI), as well as investments in selected renewable energy projects.

Two investment vehicles managed by GreenStream focus on acquiring carbon credits generated in the post-2012 period of 2013-2020. GreenStream also manages two investment vehicles which focus on acquiring carbon credits generated in the Kyoto period 2008-2012. In this role we have gained experience from all major types of CDM projects and all aspects of the CDM cycle. We are able to prepare or support the preparation of Project Design Documents and other necessary documentation, arrange and support validation and determination processes, assist in obtaining host country and buyer country approval, support verification processes and, importantly, provide market access for creating revenues from the sales of carbon credits.

Leading Expertise

GreenStream has further experience in with developing and financing renewable energy projects such as hydro power, biogas projects and wind power projects. If the project is eligible for green certificate schemes such as LEC, we provide the expertise for the accreditation of plants and other arrangements in order for the project owner to be able to obtain revenues from the sales of certificates.

Our multi-disciplinary staff has experience from working in multicultural environments. We have experts who feel at home, in among others, China, Middle East and North Africa, South Africa, Thailand and Vietnam.

Thus, if you are developing a renewable energy project, an energy efficiency project or if your project reduces greenhouse gas emissions in some other way, do let us know. We may be able to add significant value to your project by bringing in carbon expertise, carbon financing or other forms of financing.

Biodiesel production based on waste fat/oil from biogenic origin

Name of the project: Yonglin 100kT (waste fat based) biodiesel project in Jiangsu Province

Description: the project consists of implementation and operation of a biodiesel factory producing 100,000 tons of biodiesel per year. The produced biodiesel will be sold to large consumers such as transporting companies to substitute petro-diesel. The factory will use 110 000 tons of waste fat/oil from biogenic origin and 14 000 of methanol per year as raw material. The waste fat/oil will be sourced from agriculture, food industry, slaughterhouses and restaurants located no more than 200 Km from the site.

GHG emission reductions: 235,760t CO2e per year

Status: at validation

Other benefits:

  • Improving local air quality and reducing noxious odors associated with petrodiesel

  • Improving waste management by systematic collection and utilization of waste fat/oil 

  • Stimulation of local economy and sustainable industry

  • Enhancement of domestic energy independence resulting from replacement of imported petroleum fuels with renewable biodiesel from national sources

  • Creating several permanent and short-term employment opportunities for local people during the project construction and operation period.
