Toucan Protocol : TCO2-VCS-10-2013

The project activity reduces the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) through the use of renewable sources of energy and making use of clean technology, avoiding the generation of electricity via sources of fossils fuels with consequent emissions of CO2, that would be generated if the project did not exist. The Project generates electricity through clean and renewable source and it contributes to attend the growing demand for electricity in Brazil, due to the country’s economical and population growth, contributing, thus, to the environmental, social and economical sustainability, by increasing the participation of clean and renewable energy in relation to the country’s total consumption of electricity. The installation of HPP Barra Grande provides the generation of enough electricity to the supply of 30% of the energetic demand of the state of Santa Catarina or 20% of the total energy consumed in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

By utilizing renewable energy sources and clean technology, this carbon project is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The project generates electricity through clean and renewable sources, avoiding the use of fossil fuels and the resulting CO2 emissions. 

Key Highlights:
- The project is helping to meet Brazil's growing demand for electricity, contributing to the country's economic and population sustainability.
- The HPP Barra Grande installation is capable of generating enough electricity to supply 30% of the energy demand in the state of Santa Catarina or 20% of the total energy consumed in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

By reducing reliance on fossil fuels and increasing the use of clean and renewable energy, this project is making significant strides towards a more sustainable future. The electricity generated by the HPP Barra Grande installation is not only environmentally friendly, but also economically and socially beneficial for the people of Brazil.
