The projects, totalling 142 MW, were co-developed by Chinese project developers and Camco, assisted by the Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association (CREIA). Carbon credits generated by these wind and small-hydro projects are expected to total over 1.8 million carbon credits in the period to 2012. Tristan Fischer, CEO, commented: 'Receipt of LoAs is an important step in the complex CDM process. Camco is extremely pleased to be working with projects that bring benefits in line with the sustainable development objectives of the Chinese government.

About Carbon Credits Carbon Credits are used to meet compliance targets under the Kyoto Protocol and related climate change legislation. In order to mitigate the effects of global warning, signatories to the Kyoto Protocol have agreed to reduce their greenhouse gases emissions to below 1990 levels. This can be done either by taking domestic action or buying credits from developing countries such as China (under the Carbon Development Mechanism) or developed countries such as Russia (under the Joint Implementation Programme (JI)).
