PlanVivo certification for Sicirec’s carbon credits
On the 31st of May 2011 Sicirec obtained certification by PlanVivo of the carbon credits it is producing in its ArBolivia plantation forestry project with small farmers.
PlanVivo is one of the few certifiers of carbon credits in the World. The ArBolivia carbon credits are registered as VER’s, voluntary emission reductions. Sicirec Group can therefore resume the sales of carbon credits in order to fund a further expansion of the ArBolivia project.
A total of 1,400,000 tonnes of CO2 is for sale, the average sales price being between US$ 5 and $10 per tonne.
Before, the carbon credits were sold as CER’s to various buyers, but since the Bolivian government withdrew in 2010 in Cancun from the Kyoto treaty, the credits do not qualify as CER’s any more. This caused a delay of almost a year in the funding of the project, which delay is now finally coming to an end.
Adspirant buyers of carbon credits can contact Sicirec Group through e-mail: [email protected].
