Our Initiatives

Investing in renewable energy

Investing in renewable energy

Centered in the Charanka Village in the state of Gujarat, this solar grid project is the first of its kind for India. The solar plant produces 25 megawatts (MW) of electricity and is connected to the Indian electricity grid - meaning the country is diversifying its energy sources and creating a more resilient grid. Through the use of power purchase agreements, nearby residents and workplaces can choose to have their energy sourced from this sustainable energy solution.

Rewilding Vermont

Rewilding Vermont

This project, which is overseen by The Nature Conservancy, is centered around the conservation and protection of Burnt Mountain Natural Area. Burnt Mountain Natural Area is a 5,408-acre forest plot that will remain “forever wild.” “Forever wild” is the highest available legal protection for land in the United States, meaning that the forest must be protected in its natural condition in perpetuity.

Calculate Your Footprint

Calculate Your Footprint

Knowing where you are is the best place to start. Green Places uses methodology developed and supported by top climate institutions like UC Berkeley to calculate a business’ carbon footprint, identifying the total emissions your business is responsible for producing, and using (directly and indirectly). Understanding your emissions allows companies to be smart about what next steps they take on their climate journey!

Projects We Support

Salto Pilão Hydropower Plant Project

The Salto Pilão project consists of the construction of a hydropower plant which has a power generation capacity of 191.8 megawatts, meaning the plant can supply power for around 190,000 homes. This hydropower plant calls the Southern region of Brazil home, located between the cities of Lontras, Ibirama and Apiúna, in the state of Santa Catarina. The hydropower plant uses turbines to generate renewable energy for the National Interconnected Grid, creating a more resilient electrical grid, expanding energy sources for Brazil’s future.

Refrigerant Reclamation Project

Hudson Technologies is working to reduce the overall environmental impact refrigerants have on our world by reclaiming and reusing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) - the most commonly used refrigerant and a powerful greenhouse gas when released into the atmosphere. Hudson processes used refrigerants to remove oil and water so that they meet specifications for new refrigerant gas, and once restored, they are used in the maintenance of existing and newly manufactured products. By reclaiming, recertifying, and reusing refrigerants - 400,000 lbs to date - this project is reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste, and promoting a more sustainable means of HFC use and management.

Northern China Wind Farm

This project includes 33 wind turbines that, all together, produce approximately 124,300MWh per year. The renewable energy is sold to the North China Power Grid, strengthening their electrical grid resilience and expanding their energy sources for generations to come.
