Current Sources of Offsets

Green My Flight’s portfolio consists of renewable energy projects. Emission reductions are created by projects that reduce the need for electricity generation from coal and natural gas.

All sourced offset projects are Gold Standard-certified and verified by an independent third party. The projects also have to satisfy our own criteria, which focus on the projects' economic and ecological impacts as well as the proficiency of the project proponents. This approach ensures long-term, comprehensive sustainable development solutions.

Featured Project: Malavalli Power Plant

The Malavalli Power Plant is a 4.5MW biomass-based renewable energy generating facility located in the vicinity of Mysore, India, about 125 km from the city of Bangalore. The project uses waste from crop production – sugar cane matter and coconut fronds – to generate electricity. Prior to the project’s implementation, this waste was either burnt on the fields or left to decay. These practices would have released carbon dioxide or methane, both harmful greenhouse gases, into the air.

The Malavalli project enables local farmers and labourers to become entrepreneurs in the procurement business through the sale of their crop waste. The project promoters also established Grameena Abhivrudhi Mandali, an NGO that manages power distribution, billing and revenue collection for the project, which the community can become involved in.

Additional sustainability benefits include the implementation of a 100% ash utilization scheme. This program involves the production of organic fertilizer, which is redistributed to local farmers, thereby promoting organic farming.
