Climate Action
Climate and its associated events are increasingly pertinent worldwide. In December 2023, during the 28th UN Climate Change Summit, participating countries reached a historic decision by signing an agreement to triple the utilization of renewable energy, aiming to phase out fossil fuels. Climate change is caused by the excessive emission of greenhouse gases into the environment, and one of the most effective approaches to stop this process and thereby preserve the Earth is expeditiously transitioning to renewable, i. e. “green” energy sources.
In response to the urgency of the matter and to alleviate concerns among the population, Bakhvi HPP enlisted the expertise of an international authority, Pierre Biederman, to evaluate the climate change risk in the project implementation area and its vicinity. The study's conclusion was summarized thus: given the limited scale of the Bakhvi 1 and Bakhvi 2 hydropower plants, these projects will not and cannot exert any significant impact on the climate. The study adhered to the methodology developed by the International Hydropower Association.
Bakhvi 1 HPP
Throughout the entire operational cycle of Bakhvi 1 HPP, we will prevent the emission of 18,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the environment annually that is equivalent to the emissions produced by the consumption of 8,000 tons of gasoline.
Bakhvi 2 HPP
Throughout the entire operational cycle of Bakhvi 2 HPP, we will prevent the emission of 55,000 tons of greenhouse gases that is equivalent to the emissions produced by the consumption of 24,000 tons of gasoline.
