How doesCO2 offsetting work?
When we talk aboutCO2 emissions, we are talking about the total release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Caused by human pollution, they are constantly increasing and contribute greatly to global warming.
The principle ofCO2 offsetting or "carbon neutrality" consists of compensating for the emissions due to the use of fossil fuels by investing companies and individuals in projects and actions implemented worldwide. Generally speaking, this involves financial support to replace obsolete or fossil fuel installations with modern installations using energy from renewable sources.
In order to meet the municipalCO2 reduction targets and thanks to a partnership with the Swiss foundation myclimate, Yverdon-les-Bains Énergies compensates for theCO2 emissions resulting from the combustion of the natural gas consumed by financially supporting two projects. One concerns the distribution of highly energy-efficient ovens in Kenya and the other to provide the population of the capital of Madagascar with high-quality, low-energy light bulbs.
The projects supported by Yverdon-les-Bains Énergies and its customers not only help to reduceCO2 on a global scale, but also contribute to improving the daily lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
