Water Purification
Project

Carbon Avoidance | Energy Demand - Household Devices | Vintage 2022+ | Uganda

Water Purification Project distributes Safe Water Supply (SWS) devices such as Institutional water treatment (IWT) and Household Water Treatment (HWT) technologies in domestic households in the western regions of Uganda, Africa. which were earlier using non-renewable woody biomass and/or charcoal on rudimentary stoves for boiling unsafe water to make it safe for consumption. Managed by AGS Carbon Advisory.

Where does your money go?

Investments support the production and distribution of water purification systems in Uganda, as well as monitoring and verification activities to ensure the maintenance and operational effectiveness of the water purifiers.

Gold Standard Impact Registry – GS11640

Certification and Independent Audit

Gold Standard is an independent third-party organization with established rigorous standards for climate and development interventions to quantify, certify and verify the integrity of carbon offsets that are produced to create value for people around the world and the planet we share.

How Gold Standard certification works?

High QU.A.L.ITY Carbon Credits

QUantification: Robust methodology quantifies GHG emission reductions. This data is supported by cross-checked information and accurate emission factors applied from IPCC default factors.

Additionality: GHG emission reductions would not have occurred in the absence of the project activity. Implement technologies that replace traditional water purification methods that typically involve boiling water, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions by a significant margin.

Long-term Storage: Maintain high operational rates of water purification systems (WPS) ranging from 233 to 310 days per year respectively. The SPOUTS water filters comply with both international and local water quality standards to ensure long-term health benefits and access to clean water.

SustainabilITY: Contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

Community Benefits: Social benefits include reducing the financial burden on households for fuelwood and improving public health by providing access to safe drinking water. Economic benefits are realized through job creation in the installation and maintenance of the water purifiers which contributes to the local economy and supports community welfare. Reduces deforestation. Contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing the use of non-renewable biomass, which helps in maintaining forest cover and protecting biodiversity.

CO2 & Methane Benefits: Avoids green-house-gas emissions caused by the boiling of water collected from open sources and the burning of fuelwood.
