ABB Trading and Offsets

• ABB has built power plants in Costa Rica through a mutually beneficial climate improvement project as part of a Norwegian consortium.  The project could avoid an estimated 4 million tons of CO₂ emissions over a 20-year period.  Any CO₂ credits earned by Costa Rica could then be sold to Norwegian companies or other buyers.
  
  
• ABB participates in an Activities Implemented Jointly (AIJ) reforestation and forest conservation project in Costa Rica that will sequester an estimated net 230,800 metric tons of carbon over its 25-year lifetime.
  
  
• ABB funds and manages the China Energy Technology Program, a two-year project evaluating the costs and environmental impacts of various technological options to provide sustainable electricity generation in the Shandong Province of China.
