The Chinese State Environmental Administration makes use of DNV’s expertise to verify the assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from a chemical plant in the Zheiang Province.

The objective of the Clean Development Mechanism project is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the destruction of HFC23 gases in a thermal oxidation system. Annual estimates of emission reductions of CO2 for the project are 4,783,753 tonnes. The size of the project is equal to 25-50 wind power or hydro power projects.

The waste from the HFC23 facility is a greenhouse gas with very high global warming potential.
