Projects

GHG Inventory Services

KUZUKA contributed to the validation of Saputo’s greenhouse gas emissions accounting methodology from its 47 world-wide food processing facilities. KUZUKA confirmed that Saputo’s GHG methodology adhered to the GHG Protocol for Corporate Accounting or The Climate Registry General Reporting Protocol.

Carbon Offset Project Development

KUZUKA prepared the project design documents for a carbon offset project whose revenues will be used to introduce clean drinking water filters to a number of villages in southern Sudan. The water filters reduce greenhouse gas emissions as the need to harvest non-renewable fuel wood from the surrounding woodlots is eliminated. They are also a cost-effective way to provide clean drinking water to the Sudanese in an area where nearly three-quarters of all drinking water sources are contaminated by e-coli bacteria.

In 2008 KUZUKA launched an on-line marketplace for carbon offsets that brought credibility and consistency to the voluntary carbon offset market. The site featured offsets from a network of the world’s leading carbon retailers, most of whom continue to be represented in our Recommended Offsets listing.
