Livestock gas capture/combustion
Capturing methane emitted from livestock manure to avoid it being released into the atmosphere, then using it to generate electricity or other renewable energy sources.

Improved forest management
Improved Forest Management and Logged Forest to Protected Forest projects help prevent land disruption from timber logging, prevent GHG emissions from timber logging, and restore and protect habitat for native plant, mammal, bird, and fish species.
Landfill gas capture/combustion
Capturing methane that is generated from waste at landfills. The methane component of landfill gas is converted to carbon dioxide, resulting in a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which, is better for our environment.
- Dallas, Gaston County, NC
- Ball Ground, Cherokee County, GA
- Tyler, Smith County, TX
