The Hydro Power Development Corporation of Arunachal Pradesh Limited (HPDCAPL) has turned into Arunachal Pradesh’s first renewable energy-producing entity to claim Carbon Credits (CC).
This energy-producing enterprise will soon receive the Carbon Credits issued by the Universal Carbon Registry (UCR).
The entity has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Gujarat-based renewable entity ‘Creduce Applied sciences Personal Limited’.
Recently, the Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu recently inaugurated the 3-megawatt Sumbachu SHP (small hydropower).
This primary hydropower venture has been constructed by the HPDCAPL at Zemithang in Tawang district on December 2, 2021.
Expected to scrapping-off 6600 tons of carbon emissions from the environment every year, this hydropower venture received carbon registration below UCR for the Sumbachu SHP just days after its inauguration by CM Khandu.
Its worth to note that the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh remains to be the highest carbon sink state in the country providing clean oxygen, as 82% of its region is surrounded with green cover, thereby playing a crucial role in challenging the grave impacts of global warming.
Rich in natural resources & mineral reserves, the aforementioned renewable energy-producing entity is believed to play a major role in fulfilling Prime Minister Modi’s bold pledge of achieving net zero carbon goal by 2070.
