Projects to Reduce Emissions (PRE)

The Projects to Reduce Emissions (PRE) programme supports initiatives that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Some projects produce renewable energy by using natural resources such as water, wind or steam from geothermal activity. Others turn waste into energy.

Projects earn emission units, or ‘carbon credits’, which are internationally tradable and add to the financial value of the project. There are currently 34 projects in the PRE programme.
